Contrasting Sequel Setting	comment	One of the reasons why sequels often fail to reach the same level of acclaim as their predecessors is that they simply retread the same ground. Many writers are aware of this and therefore try to shake things up when writing the sequel. One common way to do this is to create a Contrasting Sequel Main Character or Contrasting Sequel Antagonist. Another thing they can do to shake things up is by creating a radically different setting. This can have several advantages from a writing point of view. It allows for better world-building, by showing off parts of the world that were previously unseen. It can make for compelling Fish out of Water scenarios, either comedic or dramatic. Or it can be an excuse to change up even more aspects for the sequel, such as the aforementioned characters. It may also be used to emphasize Sequel Escalation, by setting a Darker and Edgier entry in a environment higher up on the Sorting Algorithm of Threatening Geography. To qualify for this trope, a sequel has to have a setting that is not only different from its predecessor in name, but also in concept and themes. For example, this trope may or may not overlap with Sequel Goes Foreign. Case in point, if a sequel goes from taking place in a big city in one country to a big city in another without playing up or demonstrating any major contrasts or differences between the two settings, then it's not this trope. If, on the other hand, the setting changes from the city to the countryside regardless of nation, and those differences are obvious or affect the story, then this trope is in play. Similarly, if the sequel takes place in the same city, but it's drastically changed after a Time Skip, or even in a drastically different part of the city, it's also a contrasting setting. A good test as to whether this trope is in play is how quickly or easily you can identify the change in setting; the more you have to rely on smaller details to identify the change, the less likely it is to be this trope.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_109b49e1	comment	Predator 2: This movie swaps out the Central American jungle of the first film for the crime-ridden streets of 1990s Los Angeles. Not only does this change the setting's aesthetics, but it also changes the role of the protagonist (from an elite commando with a bodybuilder physique to a fairly average cop), the secondary human antagonists (from guerrilla fighters to drug gangs embroiled in a turf war), as well as raising the stakes for the final showdown: now, when the Predator threatens to use its Self-Destruct Mechanism, it's in the middle of a densely-populated city. Predators takes place on an alien planet used by the predators as a hunting ground that retains the first film's jungle setting. Prey (2022) is a period piece, taking place somewhere in the Great Plains of North America, prior to the age of Westward Expansion.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_112decbc	comment	Planet of the Apes: Planet of the Apes (1968) is mostly set in a Schizo Tech ape settlement on the edge of the desert of what is apparently an alien world. At the end of the film, we learn that we have actually been in a postapocalyptic New York State the whole time. Beneath the Planet of the Apes has some scenes in the ape town but is mostly focuses on the deserted Forbidden Zone and the bombed-out, subterranean wreckage of New York City. Escape from the Planet of the Apes is set in Los Angeles during the 1970s, with humans still the dominant force on Earth. It's almost a Perspective Flip of the first film, with a small group of intelligent chimpanzees from the future stranded in a human-controlled world. Conquest of the Planet of the Apes is set Just Before the End, in a brutalist dystopia where apes are kept as slaves by humans. Battle for the Planet of the Apes brings it full circle, showing the early days of the ape city from the first two movies, as well as returning to the bombed-out ruins of New York.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: Dragon Age: Origins and its expansion are set in Ferelden, a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of Medieval England, with its cold climate, temperate forests, and a political balance of power between restricted monarchy and powerful baronies. Dragon Age II is set largely within Kirkwall, which contrasts Ferelden in two ways: firstly, it is a single large city, rather than a vast, partially unexplored country; secondly, as an independent city-state, Kirkwall's politics are much more localized and petty than Ferelden's. Dragon Age: Inquisition, while being partly set in Ferelden, places its main action in Orlais, a vast, yet centralized Francophone empire whose lands include anything from sand deserts to jungles.

Ys: Ancient Ys Vanished ~ Omen takes place on Esteria, an island nation home to the fabled Tower of Darm. Esteria is known for its rolling fields and mines full of the magical Cleria metal. Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished â€“ The Final Chapter is on Ys proper, a hidden magical floating island with a bit of a Patchwork Map design with fields, ruins, icy glaciers, and lava-filled caves resting right next to each other. Also features a thriving Monster Town. Ys III: Wanderers from Ys and its remake Ys: The Oath in Felghana take place in Dogi's homeland of Felghana where an evil Count terrorizes the land. Felghana is home to a huge mining complex, a volcano, a massive mountain range, and a beautiful palace. Ys IV: Mask of the Sun, Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys, and their remake Ys: Memories of Celceta take place in the uncharted Great Forest of Celceta which is home to the last Eldeenian and the powerful artifacts he protects. Ys V: Lost Kefin, Kingdom of Sand takes place in the city of Xandria on the wild continent of Afroca. Xandria and the eponymous Kefin are situated in a vast arid desert. Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim takes place on the Canaan Islands, an archipelago hidden by an endless whirlpool. It is home to the native Redah tribe and an ancient weather control machine. Ys Origin returns to the Tower of Darm 700 years ago. Ys SEVEN is on Afroca again in the military kingdom of Altago. Altago is plagued with natural disasters and is watched over by five great dragons. Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana takes place on the deserted island of Seiran, which was once home to the Eternian society. Seiran is mostly tropical with jungles, beaches, and an enormous mountain in the center. Ys IX: Monstrum Nox takes place in the Prison City of Balduq, a major city located in the Gllia-Erdlingen region, which is a Romun province located on the northeast Esterior peninsula on the continent of Eresia. Balduq is an enormous city surrounded by mountains and ruins.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_344f4c2a	comment	The home console New Super Mario Bros. games are clearly unique in their own right (in terms of setting). In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario and co. start out at Peach's Castle, and once again having to go all the way to Bowser's Castle to defeat Bowser and save the princess. In New Super Mario Bros. U, Mario and co. are kicked out of Peach's Castle instead, and must go back to defeat Bowser and save the princess. The World Maps in Wii are completely separate; the player must go to a completely different screen to jump from world to world. If the player wants to complete the game rather quickly via shortcut, cannon mini-levels are accessed via secret exits to allow Mario and co. in skipping to a much later world. The World Maps in U are seamless (similar to Super Mario World), though there are pipes at the beginning of each world that can transport Mario and co. around the entire map rather quickly (as well as take them to the post-game Superstar Road). If the player wants to complete the game rather quickly via shortcut, secret levels are access via secret exits to allow Mario and co. in skipping to a much later world. The Final Boss levels could not have been more distinct. Wii once again takes place in Bowser's Castle, and the Final Battle against him is a chase deep inside the catacombs. U on the other hand has the corrupted Peach's Castle basically becoming an extension of Bowser's Castle, and the Final Battle against him is a full on bout (with Bowser Jr.) outside the courtyard. The fights against the Koopalings in the castle levels are also rather different. In Wii, Mario and co. goes through the hallway consisting of Bowser's likeness leading to the boss room where Kamek ramps up a rematch against the Koopalings. In U, Mario and co. is taken outside the courtyard where they must take a flight of stairs leading to a cannon launching them into a Koopaling's personal airship (where the fight takes place). The post-game World 9 of Wii and Superstar Road of U are also rather unique as well. World 9 clearly has a Rainbow Road vibe, and the setting of each level is rather randomized despite Mario and co. having to collect every star coin from the world it represents (i.e., World 9-2 takes place in a beach level that would fit in World 4 despite being unlocked after Mario and co. collect all the star coins in the desert-themed World 2; World 9-8 takes place in a sky level that would fit in World 7 despite being unlocked after Mario and co. collect all the star coins in the volcano-themed World 8). Superstar Road leans more toward the space-side with a giant yellow star in the middle, coupled with a few astroid-like platforms, and the setting of each level unlocked via star coins clearly matches with the world that it represents (i.e., Superstar Road-5 takes place in a variation of the Painted Swampland level in Soda Lake; Superstar Road-8 takes place in a variation of The Final Battle level in Peach's Castle). Superstar Road also has an additional final level that can be unlocked after all of the star coins in the first eight levels are obtained.

While Metros make an appearance at the end of the game, it takes place in an entirely different Metro that is a complete stranger to both Artyom and Miller. The second DLC Sam's Story takes place in Vladivostok, a Port Town where most of the buildings are destroyed by the tsunami due to the warheads being launched into the ocean, remarkably contrasting Moscow as it was destroyed directly by the nukes. And unlike Moscow which was badly irradiated, Vladivostok remained as is pre-war as most of the broken town is not irradiated.

The modern-day section is in a sterile lab in an unknown location that's overwhelmingly white. The cold colour palette and bleak setting combined with the almost total animosity Desmond and Altair face make for a rather claustrophobic, foreboding, and almost hopeless atmosphere.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_412f0390	comment	The Evil Dead (1981) is a classic Don't Go in the Woods horror film, set at a cabin up in the hills of Tennessee. Both the first sequel and the 2013 remake keep this setting, but the other two films in the series mix it up a bit: Army of Darkness is a Time Travel story, set around a castle in the Middle Ages. And Evil Dead Rise has a prologue at the standard horror movie lakeside cabin, before moving the majority of the action to a seedy apartment building in downtown Los Angeles.

The seventh season, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, marked the first departure from Earth, being set in the travelling space colony Terra Venture. Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue is the season immediately following Lost Galaxy and returns to Earth by setting the story in Mariner Bay, a city that was once ruled by demons. Power Rangers S.P.D. takes place in a city where aliens live alongside humans 20 Minutes into the Future. The next season, Power Rangers Mystic Force, takes place in The Present Day and revolves around a forest where magical beings live under a Masquerade. Most of the seasons take place in normal American cities (that are sometimes in New Zealand). Power Rangers RPM is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the majority of the planet has been conquered by the villain Venjix and the only safe haven for humanity is the domed city of Corinth.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_49ad83ee	comment	The first four expansions of World of Warcraft all set themselves in distinctly different locations than the last. The Burning Crusade, is set in the wholly alien and mostly desolate world of Outland, contrasting the base game's more grounded fantasy-earth setting. Wrath of the Lich King follows that up by being set in the Grim Up North realm of Northrend, which primarily consisted of tundras, glaciers, and at best a snowy forest and even the underground zones were primarily blue. Cataclysm is set all across the now-changed continents of the base game, culminating in a set of zones with a strong fire/earth thematic to contrast its predecessor's cold blues. Mists of Pandaria is set in the lost world of Pandaria, which is the first to be dominated by a mostly friendly race, the Pandaren, and much of the game, especially the early areas, are set in lush jungles and fertile green farmlands in opposition to the ravaged terrain of Cataclysm.

The player is also forced to see Paris in other time periods when running away from the massive glitches, and the differences are also highlighted, as one moment you are outside a medieval castle, and another trying to dodge Nazi patrols while climbing the Eiffel Tower.

Nevada, on the other hand, represents Michael's increasing distance from his Sicilian roots and his father's way of doing things in favor of Americanization—it's large and impressive, but desolate, cold, and impersonal. When there's no party, the house is very quiet and empty.

In contrast to the Capital Wasteland, Las Vegas and the surrounding area were only mildly bombed (largely due the efforts of a super genius able to disable most nukes targeted towards it). Though most inhabitants of Las Vegas initially died out due to radiation poisoning anyway, most of the structural damage was caused by decay and disrepair rather than the immediate bomb blasts, there's plenty of vegetation and clean water (as much as there'd be in a desert, anyway), and most irradiated areas and dangerous mutated wildlife are localized. There are far more functioning communities outside of the city of New Vegas itself, with ways of life often harkening back to the Old West (with some futuristic technology, of course), with outside forces taking interest in the area. New California Republic's heartland is mentioned to have developed even further than back during Fallout 2, with some places returning to pre-War standards.

Despite everything the city has gone through in the last several years - including said conquest and a recent destructive earthquake - Istanbul/Constantinople is full of life, with a very similar sensation to II - while the underlying tensions in the city and the mysterious ruins everywhere have that same mystery as Brotherhood, aided by the fact that Ezio is completely unfamiliar with this land. However, unlike the oddly similar old setting, the modern-day section sees its biggest change yet: it's a Virtual Reality space that consists of an island and some paleolithic-looking structures that are all clearly CGI In-Universe, and goes straight back to the frosty palette of the first game. The structures are gates that lead to surreal-looking and abstract representations of the settings of the previous games, maintaining basic shapes with the occasional realistic addition that makes it even more unsettling.

The bleak, meandering nature of these travels highlights how overwhelmed the trio is as they face the wartorn Wizarding World as adults with no guidance. The Fantastic Beasts prequel series opens in New York City over half a century prior to the events of the original series, taking the films out of Great Britain for the first time, and focusing on adult wizards rather than adolescent students.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_76b8cb10	comment	Fallout: The first Fallout game takes place in post-apocalyptic Southern California 84 years after a nuclear war, with plenty of modest, small communities trying to eke out an existence within the ruins of civilization. Fallout 2 is set physically close but takes place a further 80 years in the future, and while it still has lots of ruins and small settlements, we also see civilization rebuilding itself in advanced communities and nations such as Vault City and New California Republic. Fallout 3 is set even further in the future, 200 years after the war, but takes place on the East Coast in the ruins of Washington D.C., which is even more inhospitable than most of the previously featured locations due to being an important, heavily bombed target during the war. Civilization is limited to small settlements built out of scrap and people just barely surviving by scavenging. The area is infested by super mutants, raiders and heavily mutated wildlife which don't help matters. There's little vegetation and almost all the water is irradiated - the plot of the game itself is based around trying to make the place more livable by purifying the water. Fallout: New Vegas, in turn, goes back west, following up on the first two games' plot points. In contrast to the Capital Wasteland, Las Vegas and the surrounding area were only mildly bombed (largely due the efforts of a super genius able to disable most nukes targeted towards it). Though most inhabitants of Las Vegas initially died out due to radiation poisoning anyway, most of the structural damage was caused by decay and disrepair rather than the immediate bomb blasts, there's plenty of vegetation and clean water (as much as there'd be in a desert, anyway), and most irradiated areas and dangerous mutated wildlife are localized. There are far more functioning communities outside of the city of New Vegas itself, with ways of life often harkening back to the Old West (with some futuristic technology, of course), with outside forces taking interest in the area. New California Republic's heartland is mentioned to have developed even further than back during Fallout 2, with some places returning to pre-War standards. Fallout 4 goes east again to the Boston Commonwealth, which is better off environmentally (except for mutations in the fauna and flora caused by the Black Rain and an irradiated wasteland where the bomb hit called the "Glowing Sea") than the Mojave Desert and New Vegas because only one missile hit it and missed the city, but doesn't have the same level of societal development because the Institute are actively suppressing any attempts at building a regional government. The contrast is best observed when comparing Diamond City to New Vegas—both are structurally intact on a level close to their pre-War counterparts, but Diamond City only has so much as a bar, a school, and a church and is much more poorly defended than New Vegas.

The sequel, while still having city locales, puts the heroes in a more exotic setting by having them visit an amusement park, a baseball stadium with a hidden fight club underneath it, and a jungle that hides the syndicate's secret robot factory. The third game tones it down slightly by having a more even mix of modern and exotic locales.

Unlike Origins, the landscape is dominated by greenery, seas, mountains, and islands, creating a stark visual contrast to all the previous games since nothing had this level of irregularity in the landscape. The massive monuments and the small, friendly, and open cities give off a sense of awe and comfort simultaneously. The modern-day section on the other hand takes place in a warehouse much like the one in II, though there are no warm colours here to make you feel comfy - instead, everything is dark and cold to give a distant feeling.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_8258e260	comment	Super Mario Bros.: Mario's first few appearances, such as Donkey Kong and Mario Bros., took place in a relatively down-to-Earth generic city setting. Super Mario Bros., the Franchise Codifier, takes place in the whimsical fantasy world of the Mushroom Kingdom inhabited by anthropormorphic mushrooms and invaded by a fire-breathing turtle-ox-dragon, which has remained the series' primary setting ever since. Super Mario Land takes place in Sarasaland, which contains four kingdoms based on real-world locations. Then Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins contrasts that by taking place in Mario's own kingdom that's never been mentioned before or since, filled with strange levels such as a giant statue of himself and a Space Zone. The settings in Super Mario Galaxy and its direct sequel are clearly distinct in its own right. The box art is especially glaring. Galaxy 1 has the nighttime sky, which occurs in the first two major galaxies: Gateway and Good Egg Galaxy. Galaxy 2 has the daytime sky, which occurs in the first galaxy: Sky Station Galaxy. The hub space in Galaxy 1 is the Comet Observatory, the home of Rosalina and Lumas made up of multiple domes (and planets) that consist of many galaxies within their vicinity that Mario (or Luigi) is launched toward. While the observatory is capable of movement, it only happens close to the game's climax in which the Mario bros. has enough power stars to power-up the observatory in taking them to Bowser's lair in the Center of the Universe. The hub space in Galaxy 2 is Starship Mario, a planetoid designed in Mario's likeness by Lubba that constantly moves around "world" to "world", each of them consisting of multiple galaxies. The secret galaxies in Galaxy 1 can be accessed via separate planets within the Comet Observatory outside of the 6 (or 7, if you count the Gate) main domes. Galaxy 2 has the hidden World S that is unlocked after beating the main game. Each of Bowser's galaxies, particularly the boss planets, differ in both games. Galaxy 1 has Mario climbing a staircase leading to a platform where Mario encounters Bowser, who is fought in the reactor planets where Mario is required to lure Bowser into pounding the glass sections, followed by spinning his scorched tail to defeat him. Galaxy 2 has Mario pounding Golden Meteors onto the three Bowser locks guarding the door leading to a massive outdoor throne room where Giant Bowser resides. Mario has to fight Giant Bowser on a small planet, ground-pounding Golden Meteors to smash him. Their final galaxies are also rather distinct as well. Bowser's Galaxy Reactor in Galaxy 1 is not featured within a dome, rather it can be accessed by talking to Rosalina at the Comet Observatory after collecting enough power stars, and is basically a portal within Peach's Castle teleporting Mario into another dimension that consist of multiple unique planets (with Bowser's massive sun in the background) leading to the typical staircase where Mario encounters Bowser: the final part of the battle is basically another reactor planetoid, after Mario defeats Bowser in two unique phases. Bowser's Galaxy Generator in Galaxy 2 is located at the end of World 6, and can be considered as an Evil Counterpart to Starship Mario: a giant fortified planet with Bowser's likeness that consists of a massive foggy hallway, with multiple planets that would be typically seen in a Bowser level; the final part of the battle takes place in a vortex where Mario has to ground-pound meteors once again at Giant Bowser to defeat him. The planets where Mario obtains the last Grand Star also differ: Mario claims the star on the Galaxy Reactor in Galaxy 1; Mario ends up on a random Garden Planet with Peach in Galaxy 2 after defeating Bowser, where the star is revealed. The very-final levels could not have been any more distinct. Grand Finale Galaxy in Galaxy 1 is unlocked after all of the Power Stars are claimed in the Mario and Luigi plots, and can be accessible by talking to a Green Luma at the back of the Planet of Trials. Grand Finale Galaxy is basically a Book Ends, where Mario or Luigi are transported back to the Mushroom Kingdom where the Star Festival took place, and is rather an incredibly simple Breather Level where they just have to collect 100 easily obtainable Purple Coins to earn the final Power Star (as a matter of fact, there's barely any hazards besides Mario or Luigi purposefully jumping onto a barbecue grill or drowning themselves at the castle's moat). Grandmaster Galaxy in Galaxy 2 is unlocked after Mario or Luigi collects all the regular Power Stars followed by all the green Power Stars in every galaxy, and is located at the very end of World S. Unlike Grand Finale Galaxy, Grandmaster Galaxy is a Brutal Bonus Level with multiple unique planets that are clearly designed to test the player's skill, but that doesn't stop there. There's a second mission under Prankster Comet conditions where Mario or Luigi has to do the entire mission again, with further additions making the galaxy even harder, and the fact that the Mario bros. have to survive without taking a single hit. The home console New Super Mario Bros. games are clearly unique in their own right (in terms of setting). In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario and co. start out at Peach's Castle, and once again having to go all the way to Bowser's Castle to defeat Bowser and save the princess. In New Super Mario Bros. U, Mario and co. are kicked out of Peach's Castle instead, and must go back to defeat Bowser and save the princess. The World Maps in Wii are completely separate; the player must go to a completely different screen to jump from world to world. If the player wants to complete the game rather quickly via shortcut, cannon mini-levels are accessed via secret exits to allow Mario and co. in skipping to a much later world. The World Maps in U are seamless (similar to Super Mario World), though there are pipes at the beginning of each world that can transport Mario and co. around the entire map rather quickly (as well as take them to the post-game Superstar Road). If the player wants to complete the game rather quickly via shortcut, secret levels are access via secret exits to allow Mario and co. in skipping to a much later world. The Final Boss levels could not have been more distinct. Wii once again takes place in Bowser's Castle, and the Final Battle against him is a chase deep inside the catacombs. U on the other hand has the corrupted Peach's Castle basically becoming an extension of Bowser's Castle, and the Final Battle against him is a full on bout (with Bowser Jr.) outside the courtyard. The fights against the Koopalings in the castle levels are also rather different. In Wii, Mario and co. goes through the hallway consisting of Bowser's likeness leading to the boss room where Kamek ramps up a rematch against the Koopalings. In U, Mario and co. is taken outside the courtyard where they must take a flight of stairs leading to a cannon launching them into a Koopaling's personal airship (where the fight takes place). The post-game World 9 of Wii and Superstar Road of U are also rather unique as well. World 9 clearly has a Rainbow Road vibe, and the setting of each level is rather randomized despite Mario and co. having to collect every star coin from the world it represents (i.e., World 9-2 takes place in a beach level that would fit in World 4 despite being unlocked after Mario and co. collect all the star coins in the desert-themed World 2; World 9-8 takes place in a sky level that would fit in World 7 despite being unlocked after Mario and co. collect all the star coins in the volcano-themed World 8). Superstar Road leans more toward the space-side with a giant yellow star in the middle, coupled with a few astroid-like platforms, and the setting of each level unlocked via star coins clearly matches with the world that it represents (i.e., Superstar Road-5 takes place in a variation of the Painted Swampland level in Soda Lake; Superstar Road-8 takes place in a variation of The Final Battle level in Peach's Castle). Superstar Road also has an additional final level that can be unlocked after all of the star coins in the first eight levels are obtained. Paper Mario 64 took place in the typical Mushroom Kingdom setting from the franchise, refitted for the RPG gameplay. Many of the areas were based on recognizable world themes from previous Mario games, and the main central area is the bright, colorful, happy Toad Town. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door takes place in and around Rogueport, a gritty, crime-ridden port town, setting the tone that it will be darker than the previous game. The chapter locations are much more unique to the Mario series, such as a fighting arena or a train mystery.

The setting is mid-Spring (May 4th); Alice accesses Wonderland through a rabbit hole; the story is largely a Random Events Plot as Alice attempts to get inside a beautiful garden behind a locked door; there is a heavy emphasis on vertical movement (best emphasized by Alice constantly changing size); and Wonderland is ruled by a suit of living cards. The sequel Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, while also featuring a world of chaotic characters and language games, is Wonderland's polar opposite. The setting is exactly six months after the first story (November 4th); Alice reaches Looking-Glass World by traveling through a mirror; there is a clearly defined goal in the story (Alice must cross the entire country to become a Queen); the movement is almost entirely lateral (Alice stays the same size throughout but constantly changes position); and the world is ruled by living chess pieces.

Sumaru City in Persona 2 is a full-blown 90s city of weirdos where rumours become reality, filled to the brim with celebrities and foreigners from all over the world, and high crime rates. Persona 3 focuses solely on Gekkougan High School and the surrounding area, the modern and high-tech Tatsumi Port Island. Persona 4 takes place in a small rural town that seems to be a Shout-Out to Morioh, and is a stark contrast to Tatsumi. Persona 5 takes place in modern-day Tokyo, a real location as opposed to the fictional ones of previous games.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_9f89a5f0	comment	PokÃ©mon does this a lot when creating new regions each generation. Johto from PokÃ©mon Gold and Silver is said to be more traditional and cultured than the Kanto region from PokÃ©mon Red and Blue, which is said to be more modern. While Kanto is a center of business, technology, and science, Johto features more cultural and historic sites. This distinction largely derives from their respective real-world inspirations, the Kansai and Kanto regions of Japan. Hoenn from PokÃ©mon Ruby and Sapphire is said to be to the south of the previous regions, and thus has a warmer, even tropical, climate. Sinnoh from PokÃ©mon Diamond and Pearl is to the north of the other regions and thus features a much colder climate. This also matches up with their real-world counterparts, Kyushu and Hokkaido, which are the southernmost and northernmost of Japan's major islands respectively. PokÃ©mon Black and White takes place in Unova, which contrasts all of the previous main series regions: it's based on New York instead of a region of Japan. As a result, it's more urbanised than Kanto, and the series' oft-parodied use of Free-Range Children is addressed; the player characters look like teenagers, and Bianca's father is hesitant to let her go on a journey. PokÃ©mon Sun and Moon take place in the tropical Alola region, which is sparsely-populated. The player's quest is the island challenge, a rite of passage that involves venturing into the wilderness. The next original games, PokÃ©mon Sword and Shield, take place in Galar, which is industrialised with many cities. The player's quest is the gym challenge as per usual, but this time it's a major spectator sport. While most PokÃ©mon games take place in a time period similar to The Present Day where people and PokÃ©mon live in harmony, PokÃ©mon Legends: Arceus takes place centuries in the past, when most people were afraid of PokÃ©mon and trainers were few and far between.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy Final Fantasy VI: The first five games took place in worlds were magic was such common place that no one ever really questioned were it came from. The world of VI has magic being a foreign power granted by the Warring Triad gods to the Espers and from them to the player characters. Prominently the technology level of the world at large is industrial compared to the medieval castles that populated prior games. Midway through the game Kefka usurps the god's power and turns the planet into a ruined husk of itself that the party must find meaning in what life is left. Final Fantasy VII: While VI was industrial, here the technology is Cyberpunk from the resident megacorp Shinra drawing the lifestream of the planet to power their technology. Shinra itself has a grip on the entire planet but has an amicable public image where the Gestallian Empire actively invaded other countries. Where magicite was a closely guarded secret of the Espers only bestowed with the death of one, here Materia grants magical powers that can be purchased at any store that sells them. Lastly Sephiroth is known to one and all before the game starts, no one knows who Kefka was until he usurped the gods power and ruined the world. Final Fantasy VIII: In contrast to the worlds of VI and VII being under one governing body that intrudes on the bounds of other countries, the world of VIII has largely stabilized in the present day and segmented into several countries without too much issue. The technology is much cleaner and smoother. Magic used by the common people is just knockoffs of the true magic used by Sorceress's. Notably the world at large does not learn of the impending apocalypse, even when it actually happens. Final Fantasy IX after the high tech sci-fi of the past two games, this one returns to medieval/steampunk technologies. While the last games had world's separate but in contact countries, the continents of IX are completely cut off from each other. While VIII had the world at large unaffected by the plot, the world of IX is damaged but reparable at the end.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX takes place in an Academy of Adventure and a number of other dimensions, including a desert one and a Dark Fantasy one. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds takes place in New Domino City, which is a futuristic metropolis... except that almost all the action occurs in the less than stellar parts of it. Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL's Heartland City is a much, much brighter place than New Domino, and we get to see various parts of it like the school (which is not an Academy of Adventure), studios, churches, construction sites and so on and forth. Subverted with Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, as it combines the settings of all the other series while giving them a more twisted spin. GX's Academy of Adventure is now an Academy of Evil under heavy surveillance. The Crapsaccharine World qualities of New Domino (now called "the City") are exaggerated, creating a much more disturbing image. The previously cheerful Heartland is now a ruined warzone. Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS once again uses a large city as its setting, but most of the series takes place in a Cyberspace, and the abundance of corporate corruption - among other things - give the setting a distinct Cyberpunk feeling.

The second campaign takes place in Wildemount, a continent drawing from different cultures and folklores (for example, the Dwendalian Empire is very German, the Menagerie Coast has a Mediterranean coast feel to it, and the Kryn Dynasty has a Romanian feel). The third campaign takes place in Marquet, a continent loosely drawing inspiration from the Middle East and northern Africa.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_c02ce5b4	comment	House of the Dragon: Contrasting "Prequel" Setting. The Westeros of this series is not in the same shape as the one featured in Game of Thrones. For one, the kingdom is much more prosperous (it wouldn't be the case under Robert Baratheon even before the War of the Five Kings and all the other awful conflicts stemming from it made things even worse). For Season 1, the focus is mainly on the places held by the Targaryens and the Velaryons, namely King's Landing, Dragonstone and Driftmark, and the Stepstones which the Velaryons aim at controlling. By contrast, Season 1 of Game of Thrones featured long stays in a wide array of places and climates in the Seven Kingdoms (King's Landing, Winterfell, the Vale, Daenerys' ordeal/odyssey in the Free Cities and the Dothraki Sea, etc). Essos is only physically featured via a stay of Daemon's family in Pentos.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_c6e9c6cc	comment	The settings in Super Mario Galaxy and its direct sequel are clearly distinct in its own right. The box art is especially glaring. Galaxy 1 has the nighttime sky, which occurs in the first two major galaxies: Gateway and Good Egg Galaxy. Galaxy 2 has the daytime sky, which occurs in the first galaxy: Sky Station Galaxy. The hub space in Galaxy 1 is the Comet Observatory, the home of Rosalina and Lumas made up of multiple domes (and planets) that consist of many galaxies within their vicinity that Mario (or Luigi) is launched toward. While the observatory is capable of movement, it only happens close to the game's climax in which the Mario bros. has enough power stars to power-up the observatory in taking them to Bowser's lair in the Center of the Universe. The hub space in Galaxy 2 is Starship Mario, a planetoid designed in Mario's likeness by Lubba that constantly moves around "world" to "world", each of them consisting of multiple galaxies. The secret galaxies in Galaxy 1 can be accessed via separate planets within the Comet Observatory outside of the 6 (or 7, if you count the Gate) main domes. Galaxy 2 has the hidden World S that is unlocked after beating the main game. Each of Bowser's galaxies, particularly the boss planets, differ in both games. Galaxy 1 has Mario climbing a staircase leading to a platform where Mario encounters Bowser, who is fought in the reactor planets where Mario is required to lure Bowser into pounding the glass sections, followed by spinning his scorched tail to defeat him. Galaxy 2 has Mario pounding Golden Meteors onto the three Bowser locks guarding the door leading to a massive outdoor throne room where Giant Bowser resides. Mario has to fight Giant Bowser on a small planet, ground-pounding Golden Meteors to smash him. Their final galaxies are also rather distinct as well. Bowser's Galaxy Reactor in Galaxy 1 is not featured within a dome, rather it can be accessed by talking to Rosalina at the Comet Observatory after collecting enough power stars, and is basically a portal within Peach's Castle teleporting Mario into another dimension that consist of multiple unique planets (with Bowser's massive sun in the background) leading to the typical staircase where Mario encounters Bowser: the final part of the battle is basically another reactor planetoid, after Mario defeats Bowser in two unique phases. Bowser's Galaxy Generator in Galaxy 2 is located at the end of World 6, and can be considered as an Evil Counterpart to Starship Mario: a giant fortified planet with Bowser's likeness that consists of a massive foggy hallway, with multiple planets that would be typically seen in a Bowser level; the final part of the battle takes place in a vortex where Mario has to ground-pound meteors once again at Giant Bowser to defeat him. The planets where Mario obtains the last Grand Star also differ: Mario claims the star on the Galaxy Reactor in Galaxy 1; Mario ends up on a random Garden Planet with Peach in Galaxy 2 after defeating Bowser, where the star is revealed. The very-final levels could not have been any more distinct. Grand Finale Galaxy in Galaxy 1 is unlocked after all of the Power Stars are claimed in the Mario and Luigi plots, and can be accessible by talking to a Green Luma at the back of the Planet of Trials. Grand Finale Galaxy is basically a Book Ends, where Mario or Luigi are transported back to the Mushroom Kingdom where the Star Festival took place, and is rather an incredibly simple Breather Level where they just have to collect 100 easily obtainable Purple Coins to earn the final Power Star (as a matter of fact, there's barely any hazards besides Mario or Luigi purposefully jumping onto a barbecue grill or drowning themselves at the castle's moat). Grandmaster Galaxy in Galaxy 2 is unlocked after Mario or Luigi collects all the regular Power Stars followed by all the green Power Stars in every galaxy, and is located at the very end of World S. Unlike Grand Finale Galaxy, Grandmaster Galaxy is a Brutal Bonus Level with multiple unique planets that are clearly designed to test the player's skill, but that doesn't stop there. There's a second mission under Prankster Comet conditions where Mario or Luigi has to do the entire mission again, with further additions making the galaxy even harder, and the fact that the Mario bros. have to survive without taking a single hit.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_cbe7f8d0	comment	Tremors: As the series is about giant man eating earthworms, the change in scenery is a decent plot point in each movie. As evading them is a different game when the locations change. Tremors is set in the middle of the American southwest in a small town called Perfection where the terrain is desert and rocks. Tremors 2: Aftershocks has a Mexican refinery where the geography is much more lush and green with far fewer people around. Without many rocks, the few buildings are the only safe areas. Tremors 3: Back to Perfection returns to the small town but the events of the first film have transformed the place into a much different town. Tremors 4: The Legend Begins is also set in the town but as its a prequel the town is called Rejection and far less populated and the townspeople have to deal with the Graboids without modern technology. The town is renamed Perfection at the end of the movie. Tremors 5: Bloodlines goes foreign, with most of the movie taking place in Africa. Tremors 6: A Cold Day in Hell, in spite of the filming locations, is set in Canada. As most of the series has been set around deserts the change in scenery is striking.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_ef4c300f	comment	Assassin's Creed III: The base game takes place during the American Revolution. Unlike the busy cities of all the previous entries, the setting here is the entire east coast of the American continent and then some, where nature is still clearly the ruler of this world, the "cities" are barely established - even the largest one give a port-town kind of feeling, and you can go for literal hours in the game barely seeing any signs of civilization. The modern-day section is startlingly different. It takes place inside a cave with advanced Precursor tech, giving it a look like TRON - complete with Tron Lines - while simultaneously having the mystery and foreboding feeling the franchise associates with the ancient. The DLC, The Tyranny of King Washington' takes the same physical location, and turns it into a horror setting. It's the dead of the winter, all the cities and other inhabitable locations are dead and ruined, there are corpses hanging everywhere and Everything Is Trying to Kill You. To top it all off, there is Mason symbolism everywhere, and THE most important elements of the franchise - aka the Assassins and the Templars are completely absent. It's dark, foreboding, and creepy as hell. There are random trinkets all over the place that look like they came straight out of the Virtual Reality mentioned in Revelations. Liberation is presented as a side-story to III, and takes place in the French colonies in the same time period. This time the atmosphere is much brighter and the cities are somewhat better established, somewhat resembling the "Ezio" entries. Interestingly, the game tries to Lampshade the difference between Liberation and III by having the protagonist Aveline visit Connor, the protagonist of III. That part of the game takes place in the middle of winter, with the only signs of civilization being the occasional bridge or outpost, in near-complete isolation.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_f4bc7cf	comment	Each of the Venus Prime books takes place on a different planet in the Solar System. The first book takes place on Venus, or rather a commercial space station in orbit around Venus. The second book takes place on the Moon, now a mining facility. The third book takes place on a Mars that has been colonized by holdovers from the Soviet Union and Communist China. The fourth book takes place in orbit around Jupiter. The fifth book takes place on a Ganymede that has been colonized by Southeast Asians. And the final book takes place on Amalthea, which is revealed to actually be a world-sized spaceship, before moving back to Earth.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_f7d93e4a	comment	Assassin's Creed uses this as part of its appeal - particularly to the part of its fanbase that is most interested in historical tourism. Assassin's Creed took place in the Holy Lands during the Crusades, which are dominated by a particularly bleak atmosphere that seems to have an ever-present grey hue. The modern-day section is in a sterile lab in an unknown location that's overwhelmingly white. The cold colour palette and bleak setting combined with the almost total animosity Desmond and Altair face make for a rather claustrophobic, foreboding, and almost hopeless atmosphere. Assassin's Creed II takes place in various north Italian cities during the Renaissance. The colour palette and atmosphere are now bright and warm, the cities are full of life and so are the people living in them, and the world design feels open completely unlike the overly crowded and claustrophobic feeling of the previous entry. The modern-day section is in a warehouse, which likewise now has a warm colour palette, large open spaces, and various people full of personality. The fact that Ezio and now Desmond are surrounded by allies only helps this. Brotherhood, the direct sequel to the previous title, takes place in Renaissance Rome, while the modern-day section moves to the basement of the manor visited in the "past" section of the previous game. While for the most part the overall feeling hasn't changed, the comparatively more archaic setting - seeing as Rome has ancient ruins everywhere and the location of the modern setting isn't modern at all - gives a somewhat colder and more mysterious feeling. Revelations takes place in the recently conquered and renamed Istanbul. Despite everything the city has gone through in the last several years - including said conquest and a recent destructive earthquake - Istanbul/Constantinople is full of life, with a very similar sensation to II - while the underlying tensions in the city and the mysterious ruins everywhere have that same mystery as Brotherhood, aided by the fact that Ezio is completely unfamiliar with this land. However, unlike the oddly similar old setting, the modern-day section sees its biggest change yet: it's a Virtual Reality space that consists of an island and some paleolithic-looking structures that are all clearly CGI In-Universe, and goes straight back to the frosty palette of the first game. The structures are gates that lead to surreal-looking and abstract representations of the settings of the previous games, maintaining basic shapes with the occasional realistic addition that makes it even more unsettling. Assassin's Creed III: The base game takes place during the American Revolution. Unlike the busy cities of all the previous entries, the setting here is the entire east coast of the American continent and then some, where nature is still clearly the ruler of this world, the "cities" are barely established - even the largest one give a port-town kind of feeling, and you can go for literal hours in the game barely seeing any signs of civilization. The modern-day section is startlingly different. It takes place inside a cave with advanced Precursor tech, giving it a look like TRON - complete with Tron Lines - while simultaneously having the mystery and foreboding feeling the franchise associates with the ancient. The DLC, The Tyranny of King Washington' takes the same physical location, and turns it into a horror setting. It's the dead of the winter, all the cities and other inhabitable locations are dead and ruined, there are corpses hanging everywhere and Everything Is Trying to Kill You. To top it all off, there is Mason symbolism everywhere, and THE most important elements of the franchise - aka the Assassins and the Templars are completely absent. It's dark, foreboding, and creepy as hell. There are random trinkets all over the place that look like they came straight out of the Virtual Reality mentioned in Revelations. Liberation is presented as a side-story to III, and takes place in the French colonies in the same time period. This time the atmosphere is much brighter and the cities are somewhat better established, somewhat resembling the "Ezio" entries. Interestingly, the game tries to Lampshade the difference between Liberation and III by having the protagonist Aveline visit Connor, the protagonist of III. That part of the game takes place in the middle of winter, with the only signs of civilization being the occasional bridge or outpost, in near-complete isolation. Black Flag takes place in the West Indies during The Golden Age of Piracy. It's a world where it's perpetually summer and dominates by pirate towns, jungles, and the occasional ancient ruin, and everything is clearly in disarray. The game hilariously Lampshades this trope when the Italian ambassador - who has the same voice actor as Ezio - goes on a long rant complaining about how different, uncivilized and barbaric this place is compared to Italy. The modern section is in a fancy office building, which only looks happy and inviting - until you get to the deeper parts of the building and suddenly it's the first game and III all over again. Rogue takes place during the French-Indian War. A good chunk of it is identical to III, taking place during that game's timeskip, but a very large part of the game is located in the Arctic circle, and is almost entirely naval, leaning heavily on the Mysterious Antarctica trope. The modern section is mostly unseen, but it once again happens in a fancy office building similar to the previous - this time in another country. Unity takes place in Paris during the French Revolution, and the city goes from beautiful to absolute anarchy and chaos extremely fast. It's jarring to see a place that was at first so similar to the Italy of the previous entries go straight into the chaos and grey despair reminiscent of the first. The modern section is well... the player stand-in playing from the comfort of their own home. The player is also forced to see Paris in other time periods when running away from the massive glitches, and the differences are also highlighted, as one moment you are outside a medieval castle, and another trying to dodge Nazi patrols while climbing the Eiffel Tower. Syndicate uses Victorian Britain London as its setting. While it's certainly busy and full of its own charm, any hints of nature present in the previous entries are completely absent and overtaken by the pollution and industrialization. The dystopian elements of the era are visible everywhere, with rampant crime, poverty and disease that were mostly absent in previous entries. Origins uses Ancient Egypt during Cleopatra's reign. The setting is an open world with an architectural and cultural mashup of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, which stands out on its own accord from the other settings, with its huge monuments and endless desert. The modern section is in the gravesite of the protagonist, which is an ancient Egyptian burial site, which is a stark contrast from every previous modern-day setting which was in the middle of modern civilization. Odyssey takes place in Greece during The Peloponnesian War. Unlike Origins, the landscape is dominated by greenery, seas, mountains, and islands, creating a stark visual contrast to all the previous games since nothing had this level of irregularity in the landscape. The massive monuments and the small, friendly, and open cities give off a sense of awe and comfort simultaneously. The modern-day section on the other hand takes place in a warehouse much like the one in II, though there are no warm colours here to make you feel comfy - instead, everything is dark and cold to give a distant feeling.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_fab472d2	comment	Dark Souls is set on Lordran, a kingdom in twilight founded on the glory of a dragon-slaying lord who keeps a tomb for giants near the royal capital. Dark Souls II has Drangleic, a fractured but more lively land with multiple kings, the most notable of which made war with Giants but has a working relationship with the local dragon descendants. Dark Souls III's setting goes back to Lordran's ruins, which have decayed even further and fallen into darkness with the First Flame flickering lower than ever before as you must now journey to take down the Lords of Cinder resurrected in a last-ditch effort to keep the flame going just a little longer.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers: The Transformers started out on Earth set during the '80s and ends in the far-flung future of 2005. After the failed attempt at reviving the franchise with Generation 2 (using edited versions of select episodes of the G1 cartoon), the next sequel series Beast Wars sets the action completely on a prehistoric Earth with the only sources of technology being the Transformers themselves. The sequel to Beast Wars, Beast Machines, took place on the dark and dreary Transformer homeworld of Cybertron. Transformers: Animated took place in an urban setting of Detroit in the future. Prime generally takes place in a rural setting around Nevada in the then-present.

The aforementioned season takes place on Planet Guling, which is primitive and prehistoric-themed compared to Planet Xing, a futuristic, robot-inhabited planet; Season 7 brings the action back to Planet Xing; and Season 8 takes place in a book filled with fantasy elements, with magic, dragons, and other stuff you wouldn't expect to find on a planet like Planet Xing.

Contrasting Sequel Setting / int_ffb43795	comment	Cobra Kai: The two main Cobra Kai dojos featured in the series are rather distinct, and that's not even counting the fact that they're clearly a physical representation of its respective Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: John Kreese and Terry Silver. The Cobra Kai dojo in Season 1-4 takes place in the poorer Reseda neighborhood of Los Angeles, and it's rather crude; confined within a strip mall and originally have to go through health inspection at first when Johnny opens it up. It actually represents John Kreese himself all too well, given his poorer background and approach to fighting consisting of natural-born fighters with a "killer instinct" (the dojo itself looks straight out of a ghetto, with inhabitants consisting of gang members in line with the Cobra Kai students being a Gang of Bullies). As a matter of fact, the dojo originally did not belong to Kreese! He simply seized it from Johnny via deal with the landlord, which actually reflects on how Kreese uses pragmatic wit to commit unfair approaches when it comes to business, very in tune with how he promotes his "No Mercy" philosophy. Terry's flagship dojo in Season 5 takes place in the wealthy Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles, and (on an architectural standpoint) looks visually stunning; having its own separate facility and consisting of the latest technology centering around karate (as Silver himself presents in his commercial). It doesn't take rocket science for the audience to view this as a representation of Terry Silver, given his background as part of a wealthy family and approach to fighting consisting of unlocking the potential of everyone eager to learn Tang So Doo (just why else would he put emphasis on high-tech to enhance fighters). It's all too clear that this dojo was simply bought out of Silver's own pocket, which reflects on his tendency to use money in bribing himself out of situations, particularly when it comes to competition bouts like the All-Valley and the Sekai Taikai qualifier.
