As I explained to Sapph earlier today, I've kind of entered a catch-22 with what I want out of this game.
Assuming Paper Jam only ever uses assets from Sticker Star (and let's face it, we all have a bad feeling it will), then at most you can say that only Sticker Star takes place in a book, which would explain why in that particular game, everybody acts like Mario's world really is made of paper.
Now if anything from the games before Sticker Star makes it in, then that would mean those games took place in a book too, even though that doesn't make much sense. I say this because the first three Paper Marios have much stronger connections to the rest of the series than Sticker Star did, plus they never really treated the paper style as anything more than just that - a style. An artistic choice.
This leaves me with two possible outcomes:
1. Either they do make references to past Paper Mario games and render them "just stories in a book" in the process.
or
2. They don't make references to past Paper Mario games, thus sparing them from being cut off, but also rendering this game every bit as boring as Sticker Star was.
I really don't know which is worse for me. :\
We all know it'll be the second outcome. -.-;
