>>29343050Not that anon but I think a modern town setting could work and still have a "comfy" feel and a sense of adventure, but I don't think technology should replace any sort of fantasy element.
I think the Mother series did it right, with things like train/bus rides to get to other towns for convenience, but has its limits (you could only use them to get to towns, you can't travel anywhere with them) and still had things like the Onyx Hook and PSI Teleport for a more fantasy method of transportation. The late game or anywhere straying from the town removes technology for fantasy, like Tenda Village's weird tribe, Sanctuary Dungeons or Magicant.
It's all about execution.
What you're thinking is to replace everything with modern technology, which wouldn't work well at all.
