After that, every town is your standard RPG medieval or victorian town.

And before someone mentions “b-but robots, machines, steam!”. Well, Final Fantasy 4 also had robots, towers full of machines, flying ships, etc.

My point is that this whole “Magic has disappeared from the world, and machines are in” is not really felt throughout the whole game. That’s only emphasized in the intro and in Narshe, but then the rest of the game feels like magic is everywhere. Weapons are infused with magic effects, enemies throw magic, every character can use magic, and on and on.

While magic is part and parcel of the genre, the big “the power of magic vanished from the world” line in the prologue sets this up as something people would be surprised about.

Because players are used to seeing magic, they wanted to reinforce that magic is A Big Deal to the characters.
