Game Design Survey: Choosing Perspective

[daemoth]

Also, a similar design could be to make it one story, but you switch between characters in each "chapter". Similar to how the Animorphs book series had each book from a different character's point of view (although due to there being more books than characters, it tended to cycle through them). It doesn't have the same replayability factor, but it would be an interesting way of presenting a story, if you do it properly. I'm not saying you should do this instead though, it's just a related idea that I got.

The game Odin sphere on Ps2 does exactly this. There are 5 chapter, and you control a different characters for each. The story take place in Asgard right before the ragnarok, and you see how each faction view each other. During the final chapter, there are 5 boss, and you choose who fight which. And if you choose the correct combination, you get the perfect ending.
