* Man vs. Self; Mai feels badly about the Cataclysm she caused. She's not sure she made the right choices, and after being betrayed by, or at least having to fight, her former agency as well as her brother, she has lost the ability to trust people. Her ''agon'' is her inner guilt and her unwillingness to trust others, but she has to learn to trust and work with the other characters in order to prevent more disasters like the one she had to bring about the last time she worked alone. Finally, she's concerned about how her Imago form will turn out (if we don't have her already at that stage when Oni 2 begins). All of these are internal struggles that weigh down on Mai's psyche. | * Man vs. Self; Mai feels badly about the Cataclysm she caused.

*Natural environments; this one could be a stumbling block for the Oni engine. We might need to re-write the 3D engine (or incorporate an open-source engine) in order to do complex outdoor scenery. If Mai and co. are supposed to be exploring the Wilderness, then this is an unavoidable issue. One specific concern I have is interactive flora. If you're in the middle of a bunch of bushes, do they actually quiver if you brush against them? Does the character push palm fronds out of their face as they walk? If the plants just sit there as static models, then we have a problem, especially because the Wilderness probably is a bit more lively than our everyday ferns and flowers and trees. | *Natural environments; this one could be a stumbling block for the Oni engine.

*Stealth; either the use of disguises, or else simply allowing Mai to sneak up to or around enemies, is a "must" in my opinion. I would like to allow players to do [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PacifistRun pacifist runs]. | *Stealth; either the use of disguises, or else simply allowing Mai to sneak up to or around enemies, is a "must" in my opinion.
