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.
