ArenaNet wants to recreate the feeling the of your twelve year old self when you found the Tolkien calendar in the back of the mall bookstore. You compared what your mind painted while reading to what the artist put on canvas, and a part of you wished to be in that painting.
The aesthetic of personally inhabiting a great fantasy painting is a clear goal of the Guild Wars 2 designers, and it's such a natural idea, it's somewhat strange so few fantasy role-playing games have explored it at all, much less to the extent ArenaNet is.
