So, we have our setting: Modern->Futuristic Fantasy Dream
The story begins in a modern setting and the player gets transported to a fantasy world. Now, we need to decide on how the player will get transported to the new world. Will it be some magic book, a freak accident, a dream that seems all too real? What does everyone think should happen?

a fluffy creature (think a moggle) comes to the protagonist while s/he is at school and the protagonist sees it but looks crazy because no one else sees it. During lunch the protagonist (lets just call him/her x for now) notices the creature and begins to head for it but it runs of into a near by staircase. x follows it and then they end up in front of the entrance to the roof. the creature fazes through the door and when x opens the door, he is swollowed by a flood of colors. when he awakes he is in the fantasy world.
um... is that too much like alice in wonderland?

yeah but i like where you are going with this. maybe if X were to see some creature like a moogle but not fluffy and not one the first time could be at school and then after school later on in the day but instead of a door finding a locket or something an object used by X to transfer between worlds and the world X enters in is like ours but some strange power has awakened making it difficult for X to return at the time. while war breaks loose X must fine the way to figure out what is happening and stop it creating harmony in thier world but unbalance in both worlds.

Perhaps maybe he travels to this other world by....
Dieing?
I know that sounds weird, but hear me out.
In his world there could be an earthqauke or something like that.
A tree/building/something large lands on him, and that could be the last thing he remembers, and then wakes up in this other world, in a hospital/something similiar.
And through the game, he's trying to see if he can get to his world, and not knowing wether he died or not.
A twist could be that this other world is the after life, and after you die there, then your gone forever. Or go back to the world the main character is from. So basicly, being REBORN everytime.
But for some reason the main character retained his memorys, and arrived here exactly how he was in his world.

I was thinking a space invasion maybe? in the innitial attack oh X's planet, X is killed. That goes with your story right? but then if your dead... then the whole future thing becomes invalid. What kind of world would the afterlife be?

I like the afterlife idea, but I'm not sure how well it would work with the setting because...would the afterlife even need technology? Also, what would we do if the player dies when they're already dead? eek I personally like the idea of making the character "fall" into a dream world when they go to sleep. I'll start a poll in a day or two to decide.

has anone read the manga Fushi yugi, or inuyasha? would it be like that were the player can chose which world to be in? if so, that kind of kills the tension from the story. If the person is sent to the future but comes back when ever they wake up.... it doesnt seem so bad. However, If the player is sent to the future but cant get back untill the end, things seem to be more dramatic and there is more on the line.

what if the dream future he goes to((like i said before)) is a shadow world of ours only when there is no war in our world there is war in thiers and you have to stop the war in thier world unknowing that it would cause war in ours but the main character has to got to the one he cares about because the girl he likes happens to be the key to both worlds and the only way for joy in both worlds at once is joy with her....... kinda gooberish but pretty good.

I actually don't like it when two different worlds have direct influence over each other. I'm not sure why, but it seems too...anime-ish, which isn't a good thing if we're trying to make a serious game.

the main character gets sucked into the other world as her feeling are in chaos so is the alter world but while trying to figure out whats going on he needs to find out where he is first asking all over creatures that can talk that are in cities and humans in the alter world figuring out that a war broke out and him having to choose a side while stopping the war he feelings get better making a war in our world but when he leaves to find his world in chaos two people who happen to be in your party end up going with finding out that his world is now in chaos making them have to find out how to stop the madness he gets to the alter world when she sleeps hes still awake reading and ends up getting sucked into the alter world making time in his world move slower stuff like that

But yeah, I guess it doesn't work with our setting. Oh well, save it for another game.
