That on the promotional poster, Stealth Elf is on the center while Spyro is standing on the side-lines?

Not stupid, just kind of strange, because Spyro is the main character, so really he should be placed into the middle, but it's not that much of a big deal to me, unless Activision are trying to get across that this game is a spinoff by doing that? Not sure.

Personally, I find it a bit gratifying that she's in a position of prominence. That's not something we see often in gaming, a non-main character female prominently displayed. Still got my fingers crossed that she's not the only girl, though.

There is a wind dragon in the game. Though not confirmed to be female, the design traits suggest that it's female, such as long eyelashes, and a chest like ANB/DotD Cynder's. We have not found out it's name yet though.

Stealth Elf is female?
Firehead010 Green Sparx Gems: 316
#14 Posted: 21:04:36 10/07/2011
Sure.
But they probably did it so that people who hate the game wouldn't go, "How dare they use Spyro! They are just using him to get money and/or they are defacing him!"
So it doesn't look like they are just using him to attract people.

Yep. It's pretty obvious, too. Most dudes don't wear midriff-bearing shirts, keep their hair in braids, have almond shaped eyes with obvious eyelashes, or have noticeably prominent busts.

Nope. The dude is Flameslinger who is just a guy from Stealth Elf's race. She's on the box and her figure is still for sale, so she's still in the game.
Kittykat33 Green Sparx Gems: 103
#19 Posted: 13:32:38 11/07/2011
I think Flameslinger is of his own race, since they are from different worlds.

I was assuming Flameslinger is from Stealth Elf's race because they look pretty similar: green skin, blue hair, same style of clothing, etc.

I don't think they'd remove a character whose figure had been made and who's been featured prominently in all of the game/toy convention display booths as well as the trailers (she's in a few of those). And she's on the box. smilie

Well strange that the title has Spyro's name. And since he's the lead, he should switch places with Stealth Elf so Spyro would be at the center.

I think he wasn't put in the middle because they wanted to show emphasis on being able to play as any of the characters, rather than the game revolving around/starring Spyro.
I'm not bothered by it, just thought it was a little bit weird at first.

Maybe the guy who did the image had little time and didn't pay attention that it was Spyro who is the emphasis of the game. It happens.

Well Spyro was just a head on the hero's tail cover and hunter was in middle and nobody complained about that so whats the fuss about stealth Elf?

well, that doesn't neccessarily mean he's the main character either. I have plenty of game cases where the "bigger" pictured character isn't the main character either.

If they don't... poor choice in design, considering the game's title.

Though I'm all for strong female characters, it's SPYRO'S game. Ergo HE should be center. If Stealth Elf is like a secondary/co star character, then by all means have her next to Spyro, but definitely have Spyro in the center, even if he does share the spotlight.

It's been confirmed that it's not Spyro's game, it's the Skylanders' game (of which Spyro is just one). Spyro himself is pretty prominent on most of the advertising and packaging for this game, but it's not just his game.
Aura24 Platinum Sparx Gems: 6561
#49 Posted: 22:50:30 14/07/2011
Yet some fans still want Spyro to be front and center. That little detail. Even in a Spyro spin-off game that's not about just him.

Yeah...

I think they put Stealth Elf in the middle because she's more on a front view when Spyro's on a side view so it looks better. But hey, it could be worse, Spyro could be at the back.

And I prefer Wind Dragoness X Red-Feather Dragon ^_^
