Tale Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Nothing is ever final until the Game of the Year Edition is released. I'll give the name until the official announcement, however. 2 "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lephys Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Most possibly. 8P Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipyui Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Well, they stuck with PE anyway. I'll admit to being a tad disappointed however. It lacks a certain pizzaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManifestedISO Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Love it. Finally, there's a proper handle for this endeavor.

Keyrock Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I like it, I hope it is indeed the official name. As long as it doesn't wind up being called Legends of <whatever> I'll be fine with the name.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I like it, I hope it is indeed the official name. As long as it doesn't wind up being called Legends of <whatever> I'll be fine with the name. They will name it "Legends of Eternity" or "Eternal Legends" just to spite you.

Sensuki Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Shrug. X of Y is kind of bland, but what you gonna do. I guess it worked for Age of Empires The acronym doubles up with Path of Exile too lol. Tbh plain Eternity would be better. Unless Eternity is the franchise and Pillars is just the name of the first game. Edited October 30, 2013 by Sensuki 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodiark Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Actually a very good name, the word "pillar" is rarely used and it fits the acronym "PE"And it seems we get to wreck things up. Pillars are to be knocked after all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injurai Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Shrug. X of Y is kind of bland, but what you gonna do. I guess it worked for Age of Empires The acronym doubles up with Path of Exile too lol. Tbh plain Eternity would be better. Unless Eternity is the franchise and Pillars is just the name of the first game. I found myself thinking this as well. "Project Eternity" is really ingrained in my mind so I'm glad they kept with that theme. But the X of Y format takes something out of it on first pass. The more I hear it though the more I like it. It's in the same vein as Pillars of Islam, or Pillars of Narrative which describe key tenets or elements to a concept, practice or skill. I think the name just has a lot of syllables and that is the primary reason that name seems a bit cumbersome to voice or read. Though Metal Gear Solid, or Shin Megami Tensai don't exactly win on fronts of meaning or concision either. I have to say I'm very happy with where the name stands. I wouldn't expect them to change it again at this point. There is something to be said about building the proper mind share for the title. I'm sure they have settled and will begin associating this name with their project during the remaining months of development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmanusaur Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Not bad, I can certainly envision "Pillars of Eternity" as a marketable franchise name for a series. At the very least, I like it more than the names of any of the games that inspired PE... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaSombra Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I think it's ok, though I would like to suggest "Lost in Eternity", "Engulfed by Eternity" and my personal favourite "Road to Eternity" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensuki Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Pillars could also be referring to the Pillars of Adra, which probably play an integral role in the story of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SophosTheWise Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Though I remember the campaign referring to the backers as "Pillars of Eternity" and these are screenshots of the backer portal, so... It would be a nice touch nevertheless and a friendly nod towards us backers. To add that I really like the word pillar. It's somehow really a beautiful word, soundwise and letterwise.
