Law, it was pointed out to me that the description of Atticus was a lot like Dishonored, so that's mostly the kind of steampunk I was going for. The airships and gigantic beasts that ambush you as soon as you step outside were the Final Fantasy elements. Anything else is up for discussion, or you can just throw it into the story and see how it works. The only thing that's established for certain is the way that things work inside the city. We can all just work as a group to fill in the blanks for the rest of the world.
I haven't heard of the things you're talking about, but I'm looking them up at this moment!!

I guess 'magic' would also be the 'darkness' outside the city that the people are afraid of?
Or was Salone just quoting something? What even was that?

FF13 was good! ...ish.
