Re: Comparing Science Fiction, Science Fantasy, and Fantasy
I agree. Also, you see a lot of things in science fantasy that seem like traditional fantasy-type elements with a scientific spin.
Magic becomes nanobots (like in Anarchy Online).
Swords become energy swords.
Fireballs become plasma weapons.
While that is often a lot of fun, and I have no problem with it, it is a decidedly different feel than a hard science fiction theme.
