@Cav: True point in itself, but I still recognized enough of the old Spyro's soul (humane character, etc.) in the LoS Spyro that my brain gave me the sense of familiarity, nostalgia, recognition. I direct you to this part of my earlier post:
Quote: Silvery- When I played LoS, I was like "Oh, Spyro, I missed you!". Looking at this (lots of trailers, interviews etc), I'm like "Who is this kitten?"
@Aura: You're not looking into it from the philosophical point of view, something that is needed to understand what I'm trying to say (however simple it is). If that truly is your definition, then why do you even consider yourself a Spyro fan? Looks to me that you just like games with a heroic, adventurous dragon as its main char.
I define Spyro as someone I know, someone I'm familiar with. If say, my best friend suffered a concussion and permanently lost his memory, then he would no longer be my best friend by definition, with all of our memories and experiences together - the definitions of our friendship - gone. He might still be a fun guy, but he wouldn't be the guy I spent so much of my life with. Same with Spyro á la Skylanders: He might be a nice, fun character in a fun, innovative game, but he isn't Spyro. Yes, they can name him Spyro, but he still isn't the Spyro from before. He doesn't share the same history and is as such a different character with just the same name.
Anyway, all of this philosophical debate is making my head ache, so if I still can't get my message through to you with this then I guess we'll just have to be content with not understanding each other and agree to disagree. Sadly.

Respect for trying anyway
