Why The Kraken?

Factions is a chinese themed game. But why did ANet add krakens in it in Boreas Seabed? Krakens are norse mythology, no way connected to China. Seems pretty weird to me....Maybe chapter 3 is gonna have centaurs in it

Factions is stated to be 'oriental themed'. However making that statement does not declare that all things have to follow the 'theme', since that was just a way to describe a rough outline of part of the game.

Only the Kaineng area is oriental themed, the subsequent areas are german/whatever somewhat.

Jade sea is oriental themed though. Its originally oriental based, but they can had some things from other theme. Its name,Zhu Hanuku, means "Old Long Arms" in ancien tougue. This can tell you why they have chosen a Kraken.

Picked its name in a French GW:F site.

I would love a Norse themed chapter!

Same here..

mmm... scandinavian beards

I was definatly hoping for a more nordic or maybe ancient greek or roman-ish style chapter, as opposed to this africa stuff.

ancient greek theme would be pretty awesome

Sea monsters are a pretty universal myth. If there's water nearby you'll get stories about the things in it.

We have centaurs.

Yes, but different cultures have different stories.

Ummm...maybe it will have minotaurs

Pretty sure we got those too D;

Pretty sure we got those too D;

To complicate solo farming

Chapter 4 is in space.

Arggg...CHAPTER 3 WILL HAVE ANUBITES. owned.

Does that mean we have to do a quest called Closerer To The Stars?

nah id have to say present day Texas Mexico border themed would make for quite an intresting chapter

Lmao I'd pay $100 for that.

meh, we have enough subliminal Greek in the Luxon culture. and a little Roman, too. look up Rhea in Wiki, you'll see what i mean.
