There's too much potential for a deep immersive explorable experience in the proper world of Avatar for me to want a pro bending game first when they haven't succeeded in making a straight up excellent avatar game already.

That'd be like having a world as interesting as the Witcher, but you went and made Gwent first. Not to knock Gwent, but the missed potential of a deeper and more fulfilling experience would be a shame.

I think they can exist in isolation. And besides, it's much more difficult to do open world right. I'd much rather have a fun but small fighting game that represents how dynamic bending is than a half baked open world RPG.

Yeah, this is only in a weird fantasy scenario where there's only a chance for one or the other, and of course you'd always take a good game over a bad game, but I think the missed potential would sting, and I wouldn't want devs making a bunch of safe competent games in a row because they're too scared to make something more ambitious and befitting of the licensed material.

I'm just basically expressing that if I had to think of some dream games that likely may never exist an immersive role-playing Avatar game would definitely be a big one.

Yeah that's totally fair, avatar has a great world and I'd love to explore it interactively. I loved the kyoshi books because they expand on the lore while keeping it consistent (I highly recommend them) so maybe a game could do the same.
