Which is better?

[MobileSuitSonic]

I've been mulling my initial concept for my project (NEW FAIRY TALE, soon to be renamed) and I don't know where to go with it. I'm going to let you decide.
---
BEAR IN MIND the world in which the game is parallel to ours and what is fairy tale in our world is history in this one.
---
OPTION A
A parody of JRPGs, with all the trappings one would tend to associate with it. Knights and close-range combat are the norm. Your goal is to find nine holy gems to free a magic sword which is the only weapon that can defeat a Dark Lord sealed away inside of a can of New Coke 1,000 years ago, who has just been released, seeking to mount another attempt at imposing his Eighties fetish on the world and an ideology alien to that world.
---
OPTION B
An industrial fantasy set in a world where technology and magic coexist and is set in a world that corresponds to the turn of the 20th Century and your quest is a race against time to find the nine gems and recover the magic sword before the enemy can use to power a wonder-weapon to break the stalemate in a World War I-style conflict currently being fought. Unlike Option A, this one is played straight.
---
On one hand, Option A sounds more fun, but Option B seems to be a road less traveled. I'm having a hard time deciding.

Do what is more fun for you? Doing something just because it's not common iit's not a great idea if you get bored or overwhelmed in the middle of the proyect.

Either sound so good. Option B has a way forward in terms of continuing the narrative.

Of the two options, Option B sounds like it'd be the more difficult to develop, given the aspects of technology and comparisons to the first world war. Well, at least from an observer's point of view. As with what Astel said, originality is not always a sign that its THE choice among the two, because it often requires quite a considerable amount of work to get set up to begin with.

'General Discussion' is not for feedback on individual, specific projects. You need to post in 'Ideas and Prototypes' either with your own thread or in the general thread.

As that is a moderated forum I cannot move this so will have to close it.
