What's the matter with the last splatfest btw? Did the outcome decide what the third game was gonna be like?

Emeraldstone12:chaos: CHAOS•

Yes, both final fests decided the next game, splatoon decided who we saved in splatoon 2 and now splatoon 2s has decided the theme of splatoon 3

It just begs the question, what would the trailer look like if Order won?

111

Distopian, surely.

Different kind of dystopian, as this one can be seen as dystopian as well. Mad Max -esque anarchy vs. a futuristic police state or something like that.

Basically "The Giver" or "Fahrenheit 451"

No, it would have been a utopia, lead by Queen Marie and her Second in Command Marina.

As it should have been.

Way too early to hope this but I want the octo expansion of s3 to be an order timeline expansion

What do you mean with splatoon decided who we saved.

probably misworded it, he meant Callie vs Marie decided so Marie would enroll us

Except the last splatfest was about Stars and Schrooms

BellPepperGlass:SRL: Squid Research Participant•

Yeah but, Pearl said it was just a bonus and the Splatocalypse was still the "final" fest

I'm pretty sure it did

I heard that it was going to choose the look of the third games story mode

Imagine being an octoling with an octopus pet

What? It's no different than us having human pets.

That's cursed yet true.

I’m pretty sure it’s like having a monkey as a pet. Octarians ≠ octolings

22
etherealcross•

Octoling is one of the Octarian species... But dunno about their intelligence..

Octarians are severed Octoling tentacles

Pretty sure salmonids is a sentinent being, more like a "buddy" than a pet. So the octarian maybe like that too...

23

This.

ZorubarkI prefer the pink girls!•

I mean, salmonid are santient and not exactly barbarians, they even make music, I think, so even that could be strange if you think about it

Just noticed that Octavio got Mike Wazowski’d with the logo

"I was on TV!"

33
MrBoB511Not one, but TWO guns!•

Yknow, speaking of Octavio, he was on Chaos, while TarTar was in Order. Does this mean that TarTar is still going to be a minor villain, and that Octavio still has the story mode spotlight?

3
etherealcross•

Octavio in chaos bcoz he didn't want to be on Cuttlefish' side. And Tartar in Order, basically he just want to make earth a better place, but with wrong ways

3
OAKnAcorn•

What does that mean?

1
AngryAssHedgehog•

They put the Nintendo logo over Octavio. Similar to how the character Mike Wazowski in Monsters Inc constantly had logos put over his face when he appeared on advertisements in the movie.

i just realized that Spike and Murch are on opposite sides. interesting...

Murch wants to be better then Spike and resents him, right?

Aww man now I want both

31
FabriBE168DEFEAT...•

That's a good question

13
TheCartridgeTilter:SRL: Squid Research Participant•

It really is. I think a BETTER question could be: will Nintendo let us see both? Will there be some option or end game event of some kind that lets us see how things would've gone if order had won?

42
Atari-Dude•

Was there alternative in Splatoon 2 where Marie was kidnapped instead of Callie? Pretty sure the Final Splatfest determines which direction between two ideas that the development team has; in case of Splatoon 1 to Splatoon 2, it might not have been much of a difference. But with Splatoon 3, it seems the whole premise and context of even the multiplayer is based around "chaos", so I doubt they're gonna show the player what the opposite would've been like since it makes little sense in terms of continuity. The most I could imagine is a simple "this is what Splatsville used to look like until 2 years ago" type thing and have it be a utopia.

27
etherealcross•

Or... the DLC take place in an alternate timeline where Marina won the splatfest. So the Finalfest determines which one the base game and the DLC.

29
LordWartuskNNID: •

The Twitter talked about how Splatville is a “city of chaos,” I could see us going to the alternative “city of order” either in the story mode or DLC.

14
Gab_7137M♢DΣRN•

This could be cool

2
TYoshisaurMunchkoopa:SRL: Squid Research Participant•

Splatoon is going to become Pokémon where they release 2 games at a time.

9
TheCartridgeTilter:SRL: Squid Research Participant•

I WONDERED THE SAME THING XD

3
etherealcross•

Dang, atleast its gonna be different plot, not just different pokemon lmao

2
socktattoo•

Interesting point, but I don't really think so. Octarians/octolings had a lot of focus in the last game. I think salmonoids were always going to be the next focus, due to the mystery surrounding Grizzco.

12
trueriptideNNID: Revika•

Plus this game was in development before Splatopocalypse, I thought.

ALSO? ew. I'll keep my cute salmonid friend. UwU

1
CracticusOP:SRL: Squid Research Participant•

Nope, they confirmed in 2019 that it wasn't in development.

2
trueriptideNNID: Revika•

Wow that makes me a bit worried about the quality of development then.

0
cary1994NNID: •

They still have ~1.5 years (provided there are no delays) to work on the game, it’ll be fine.

2
Galvanlure:LilBuddy: LITTLE BUDDY•

Plus, Mr. Grizz is in the middle, implying he would be important either way

Go get the time machine, we need to change something.

SecondAttemps•

I’m still sad I fell off the bandwagon and missed so many splatfests including the last one. I should boot up the game and play later, and make an effort in splatoon 3 to not miss them. Just hope we can still see Marina and Pearl in it cause I do really like them

8
RGBeter•

Still think that if order won, splatsville would be looking like Sanctuary Fortress from Metroid Prime 2

6
moss-eater:SRL: Squid Research Participant•

I thought the same thing!

woomy365I like Clam Blitz and Sploosh. Please shut up :snoo_hug::NZap85:•

Hmmm.... maybe we get the characters that were on team chaos?

1MightyElfS+6 going for X on sticks•

Hol up why is the phone on order? They tried to destroy inkopolis square

3
ActivateGuacamole•

Phone resents the aimless direction of the current dominate species and has a very rigid idea of what they should be like

So I can see it.

6
ChrissMH•

Phone saw their current society as a chaos of consumerism and fighting over petty things, he wanted to reshape the world to bring a new evolution, a more "civilizated" race and bring order to the world. He had a very specific idea of how the world should be, that's why he is in order.

2
SomberlySober:mushroom: SUPER MUSHROOM•

I think what you get is determined by if you chose to be an octoling or squid. If squid you get the buddy we saw, if octoling you get an octarian.

In the trailer it showed an option to chose between squid and octo.

3
cary1994NNID: •

I sure hope this is true!

1
GrzakinI love both Callie and Marie equally!•

I mean, we already have octarian little buddies... they're called octolings

now I dont regret losing
