My very own Zelda game

[A Black Falcon]

DJ, Grim Fandango is NOT comedy. Oh, it's not totally serious, but it's not comedy. You should know that! Monkey Island is comedy. Grim Fandango isn't. Grim has a serious story. Yes, there's funny stuff, but the overall story IS serious. And with a good bit of complexity too...

Since it's a fictional game, no matter WHAT it did it would be historically accurate as far as it's own world is.

Exactly. They could have used that excuse and dodged the realism. But they didn't. They made a serious effort to be accurate. Yes, some of it is made up like the legends and stuff. But the look of those temples? I'm sure it's based quite closely on the real artwork of those civilizations. They put so much effort into it that it's obvious they made a huge effort to be accurate... down to how in the opening they speak Latin. That should be a clue as to how serious they were. :)

Of course I wish it was ALL in the real historical languages, but most people would probably disagree... oh well. And anyway some we might not know how they were actually spoken...
