Ether Saga Universe
From ESOpedia
Based on one of the Four Great Classics of Chinese literature, Journey to the West is the tale of four monks journeying to India. Places and towns player's pass by are based off of real locations. From the start at Pokari, all the way to India, players will encounter several NPCs which they too are based off of characters from the book. Seemingly insignificant characters, such as the Pumpkin Farmer, play key roles in the advancement of the plot. While not every character, quest, and city is straight out of the book, many of the dungeons and events are based off of the book and Chinese Mythology.

NPC
As mentioned, many characters are based off of existing characters in Wu Cheng'en's Journey to the West. While not every sing character is straight from the book, some characters do exist in small sentences. Many dungeon boss monsters do exist. While not much information is given on their combative abilities, these extra bosses can give players that extra connection to the story.

Location
The amazing about Journey to the West is that the story is a basic outline for a video game! While some aspects such as a banker or guild or clan options are missing, many of the cities are indeed straight from the text. Pokari, Gau's Fazenda, and Keop's Place are places that the four monks travel to. Even dungeons and the like are all based off of actual combative sequences that occur in the book.

Skills
While many skills have no relation whatsoever to the actual text, many are still based off of Chinese Mythology. For example, Nascent Skills or Birthday Skills are based off the Way and how there exists 365 Ways to reach the Truth.
