has a story been decided on? Last night an idea came to me. The gist of it is Klonoa ends up in a phantomile which is being threatened by an old yet well known legend. The source of evil threatens to devour all matter and leaving only the empty spirits of those caught in its wake. If evil wins, the phantomile will essentially be an empty abyss filled only with the spirits of who remain; trapped in a sort of limbo. Visually it would look similar to Zelda: Twilight Princess when living things are caught in twilight however in this story even the land is consumed; not just its people.
So Klonoa ends up in this phantomile. Learns about the legend and its people however the people have accepted their doom. Klonoa tries to bring hope by going about solving the problem. He is accompanied by someone who knows the lands and the lore and some sense of hope is shared. In the end Klonoa falters and his only friend who summoned Klonoa dismisses Klonoa from the dream moments before the phantomile is consumed. Klonoa, being forced to return to his home, has to deal with his 'failure' and the slight betrayal of his friend. Eventually, if the story persists, Klonoa learns of a way to revisit and save the phantomile after it was fully consumed.
