Talk:Fog World

"Also, many doors are locked and the keys to the doors are hidden in bizarre ways; example, a key is found in a soda can inside a vending machine in Silent Hill 3."

The situation described here occured in Otherworld, not the Fog World.

I recently noticed while playing through Silent Hill: Origins, the Hints Menu refers to the Fog World as the "Misty World."
 * While Origins may have attempted to make that the real name, I don't think as many people would recognize 'Misty World' as 'Fog World', since there's really not much that's misty about that dimension. AlessaGillespie 06:53, 27 June 2009

Style
Let's try and avoid sentences like "Some fans believe", as it indicates speculation and the style doesn't really fit. --Faded-Myth 20:13, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Downpour proves this false.
Well I guess none of the games even hint at this thought. Hell even the movie which is the only itteration of multiple dimensions in the series only has "other" and "real". But even those are the same.

Wow, less than an hour later I ran into this.

 * Proof that contradicts your proof. More evidence suggesting multiple realities. More official proof.  AlessaGillespie  Talk   Contributions  05:50, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

"I don't really feel like eating and drinking stuff from an alternate reality, OK?
 * -Heather Mason, Silent Hill 3"

I think people are interpreting the word "dimension" too literally. It's similar to a dimension, which is why Heather refers to it this way. — LisaGarland ❤  22:17, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

I said something to this effect a while ago, but I guess it was deleted. :/

One of Alessa's links doesn't work and the first (a fan translation of the Koshiki Guidebook Kanzenban) uses the word "dimension" only once. There it is only a suggestion as to what happened. What it DOES say is that "the border between reality and unreality is indistinct" and that that, at least, is "certain". The Q+A does use the word "world" many times but not in any capacity that provides proof.

The second link is an image from Silent Hill 3 and 4. Heather's text uses the word "world" twice and Henry remarks, "It feels like this room is stuck in another dimension". Considering how fast and loose Silent Hill plays with the word "world" I don't find this compelling or inarguable; I echo LisaGarland's comment but replace "dimension" with "world". Silent Hill 4, I should add, DOES take place in a pocket dimension of Walter's creation, but that's not the main focus of this article, is it? Admins always get the last word, though, so if AlessaGillespie isn't convinced then this page is staying right where it is for the time being. Incidentally... has anyone ever seen so many necessary quotation marks? -PrototypeC (talk) 18:38, April 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Regardless, the series has used terms such as "world" "dimension" "alternate reality". Also from the Origins Tip menu:


 * "As Travis explores Silent Hill, he will discover what appear to be two overlapping versions of the town: the deserted streets of the Misty World, and the dark, dangerous nightmare that is the Other World."


 * I think the best thing to do is just keep it ambiguous, just like the series for the most part does, even if there's conflicting information. — Alex Shepherd   ツ  19:14, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
