Same here, complete opposite of Beyond: Two Souls which turned into a Michael Bay film in the end. It's very Twin Peaks which is sort of a no brainer.

After the U.S.A, I'd like them to set it elsewhere, like the U.K, or France (when I see the fantastic job they did with Remember Me, and being French myself, I'd love a Season 2 set here). Maybe some of the dialogue would be a bit less cringey sometimes, if it was set in France...
Yeah, I agree, and I originally wasn't too fond of the eventual grounded reality of it all. Thinking about the plot in this way makes me appreciate the direction it's taken
Well, they are actually france based so I could see that. Some french countryside would be nice.

I want Japan simply for the chance for them to explore and show what the REAL Japan is like. The locals exaggerate the good parts and people like us celebrate the crazy parts. Seeing the day-to-day Salaryman level of Japan would be interesting. Also, imagine how creepy Japanese Jefferson would be? We would be in AUDITION territory.
A lot of countries would be cool, but I think anglophone countries are more accessible to everyone, and francophone ones to them, as a developer. But yeah, Japan could be good as well.

My main issue is that Max doesn't call the police! I know that if she did, the story beats wouldn't be able to play out like they did, but she sees Chloe take a gunsomething she's been very against so farand says nothing. Girl, you dug up the dead body of a missing person! CALL THE COPS.
I'm thinking Nathan messed up the dosage on Rachel too, hence her being the only one we know woke up.
The Prescotts basically own the town. Without concrete evidence Nathan would have been free and we wouldn't have discovered Jefferson's rule in all this.

My only fear is a potential backlash from those who think Japan = ANIME! and hate on it on that basis alone. Culture shock would be an interesting angle to explore and it could be about an American student coming to Japan for the first time. It would be hard to pull off but worth the effort.
I suppose we could go to Canada instead, just to play it safe.
Why not France? Modern France isn't very explored in games either. Or for that matter modern Germany. There are plenty of interesting locations around the world that would still be relatable. (Just don't pick the UK, everyone knows that one already).

True. It's just bugging me that they let Kate go. Why would they do that, if they wanted them dead?
australia please
Would dig a village/city in Brittany or Alsace. Or Aquitaine.

Oh, truth. Yeah, that makes sense. I can't wait for the final episode!

UK would have everyone screaming Harry Potter! But yes, France, Germany or any other country where English is secondary language would be interesting.
I could also suggest India but the school's would mostly resemble British schools since we adopted their system.
Oh come on, it would all be about the boys comparing the size of their knives and the story would be about a dingo that ate a baby!
I really don't know about the dialogs.
What a dumb, American centric thing to say.
Try again, I'm not an American and I've been to France many times more. Nothing can compete with the pervasiveness of Hollywood.

You know it's kind of sad that American media has made me to so accustomed to American town/cities that I would feel right home with no trouble adjusting if I woke up in Arcadia Bay tomorrow. Not to mention the US is all about the melting pot of people.
That said, French or German suburbia won't be THAT alien to us especially if everyone talks in English.
How can you say nobody knows when we have so many French GAF members. Very short sighted of you.
Actually America Centric just means taking a perspective that puts America on a pedestal regardless of your nationality
If a French Polynesian tribal talked about how awesome America was and how other countries are weird or awful, that would be America centric

Why do people always assume America?
That would be cool if they did France.
Got it. Processed it wrong, then.
He literally said that it should be America. So if he himself is american or not, it's america centric.
edit: oh, you answered that one already.

Okay so if Life is Strange 2 is set outside America, guns won't be common so what would character's threaten each other with? Please add to the below list:
UK: Cricket Bats
Australia: Boomerangs
Japan: Katana & Throwing Stars
India: Hockey Sticks
What are the National Weapons of your countries?

Wait, if India have the hockey sticks, what does that leave to Canada?
In all seriousness now, a S2 set in France would be great. Especially if they used French VA, but that's not gonna happen.
Yeah, if it wasn't for the influence of movies I'd disagree with you, but especially with a high school setting it's definitely easier if you can play off the American high school tropes made popular thanks to Hollywood. Though maybe that in itself is thinking too much of America, since it's not like the high school dynamic is so different everywhere elsewhere, right?
That being said, I'd still like to see them try a different setting next time, but they'd have to go for a different atmosphere with it.

Well India's national sport is Field Hockey but I'm sure we can establish a clear distinction between Field Hockey Sticks and Ice Hockey Sticks.
I wonder if the next gen consoles are powerful enough to render them accurately.
Also, Canadians threaten each other with rude words.... I think
Wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity to educate us then? That's why I suggested that they could always adopt the Culture Shock angle. It would be a brilliant way to introduce us to these so called ALIEN! cultures like France and Germany. And honestly, Euro countries are pretty tame in terms of school culture. Japan and as a whole Asia would be brutal! Investigate murders? Sorry, I have 3 exams on the same day!

Polar Bears!
Remember Me had a French VA, so why not LiS S2?
You could still let the choice between an English VA or French VA like Remember Me.

What presents? A bomb? The head of a horse? Naked Warren?
Where does this scene take place? Max can't even go in her room in EP 4

That'd be cool, and it could help with learning French. It's always nice when I can understand some of what is said.
I meant exclusively French VA. No English.
I'd be fine with that, obviously. But yeah, if exclusively French, not gonna happen I guess. But the choice may be possible.
Oh yeah it's a different episode... my bad lol. I think Nathan or someone vandalized her room.

I think UK could be good for S2. We need a decent teen school based drama since Grange Hill went off the air six years ago.
I just finished Episode 4 last night. Work and social life got in the way of finishing sooner, but whatever. Holy crap. The delivery on finding Rachel's body just messed me up. I've been listening to the soundtrack since it was released, and now "Mountains" is just going to make me a weepy mess. Kinda wasn't too distraught over Chloe getting shot, because the pacing was way off on the selfie with Warren and made it far too obviously important. But seeing Chloe drop to the ground on top of Rachel... naw, I'm not okay.
Also, "I felt my back break, and that was the last thing I ever felt." Damn.

I think so. The streamer's at the diner for the first time now.

Clearly you have never seen a Bollywood movie. Always Hockey Sticks.
We had a whole bunch of movies in the 80's that were THE WARRIORS rip offs
I think the series would be best going back & forth from High School and College.
I think it would be interesting exploring something else than the coming of age. You could address interesting themes and issues without talking about teenagers, necessarily.

So if Warren goes out with Stella in the alternate reality, why is his potential girlfriend Brooke in the original?

The butterfly effect? Maybe Warren still wasn't into Brooke?

Going by the first episode, there is prominent atmosphere of nostalgia and the good 'ol days. Max & Chloe even talk about how much fun they used to have as kids which I feel is something best explored in the final years of your schooling. You can't really be Nostalgic about adult work-life and discussing past regrets like Chloe does could get depressing.
Also, what ethnicity is Stella? She looks Indian to me, is she Hispanic?
Why not retired people? (okay, okay, I'm out)

It's obviously all connected to the Twin Peaks revival. Mystery solved!
Love all the little details that people are finding.

So Brooke can date someone else? Must of missed that.
I was thinking Indian mixed with something else.
Yeah she's in some random places, and she really isn't brought in to the forefront until ep 3 when she is with Warren.
