It's very funny though....I honestly felt Spyro's personality was very similar to Classic Spyro in this game especially! He's so funny in it....and cute!

I kind of see why the legend of spyro wasn't a prequel, i mean like its hard to imagine who spyro would face before spyro the dragon.

Yeah, it was too different.

If Cynder is in the next game, they better confirm that Spyro and Cynder are a couple.....
I have a very personal reason for saying "they better"!

Having Spyro and Cynder as a couple is almost fanservice, don't you think?

I couldn't careless if it was fanservice(what fan doesn't like fanservice?)....I just have a very personal reason!

Yeah, I wouldn't like to see that....

If it isn't a canon couple, you could see MUCH worse shippings!

Too much fanserrvice in a Spyro game wouldn't be good. Too many fans would be asking for things they want in the game, instead of letting the ones in charge do the thinking and looking at our opinions. You probably wouldn't understand, sonicbrawler.

Yeah, but honestly....this is Activision!
And Spyro never seemed like a series to dish out too much fanservice, IMO.
On a more serious note, SpyroxCynder does make the story a bit more interesting. But they definitly shouldn't make it the main focus of the game....that should be the gameplay!

Activision isn't the kind of game company you would be wanting fanservice from.

Still, I agree with Brawler. Spyro and Cynder BETTER be confirmed a couple in this next game, pending Cynder is in it. We all know its bound to happen.

I bet if the game isn't in the legend series activision will find some way to put cynder in the game.

I'm sure they would. Cynder probably has as important a role in Spyro now as Spyro does. Besides, that is probably the single most important reason why LoS sold so well, because of Cynder.

Can't be bothered to look at the past comments. Any new info other than the spreadsheet update?

Oh and I had another idea for SK's gameplay. How about a choice system that lets you choose how to react to the obstacles set up by NPCs? By that, I mean if you talk to a character and they say 'do this and I'll help you' you can either do as they ask or maybe fight them to force them to help. It could be good becasue I know some people think it'd be dumb for Spyro to have to perform little tasks to get people's help, given his past and power and stuff. With the choice system they could choose to play in a way they think makes more sense. People like me however could choose to do what the calssic Spyro would do and perform the task.

I guess the fights would go something like the way they did in LOS already, with hoards of enemies (possibly smaller ones) and button mashing (maybe less of it though).

So, what'd you think?

about SxC: Isn't better if it's left to the imagination? That way fans of alternate shippings could enjoy thier preffered couple, and you could enjoy yours. No reason they couldn't suggest a little love between the two, if it's REALLY needed though.

Tell me, is Activision the type of company to insert much fanservice into thier games?

No, they're not. Those from Activision prefer to go by their own ideas in the games they work on instead of high demanded fan service. Usually it's the developers of the games that does the fanservice sometimes.

Even then, it rarely happens.

That's a good thing, IMO...

Still...
SpyroxCynder FOREVER!

I have no issue with ppl liking it I just don't think it should be cannon.

I do..

sigh....I meant that I thought Activision wouldn't give much fanservice, knowing them. As for SpyroxCynder, nice couple, don't mind it being canon. People will ship them with other characters anyway, and already do.... They even go beyond fiction(yes, Bolt, I'm looking at you!)

Remember yesterday? Also, Aura, what was that about me not understanding? That's a very strong statement to make about someone you don't know....

It would only be good if done right, I would honestly prefer if it were left alone and only hinted at or un-canon, but if it must be done, it must be done.

^ This...

If SxC was a couple, the game wouldn't have to revolve around the couple in the least, you know. No one had a problem with Spyro and Elora in the original games. And wouldn't the entire game be fanservice anyway? That's what a game is, afterall, isn't it?: It's made for fans of that franchise to play and enjoy. I'm kind of missing what you guys mean by fanservice here.

Quote: Bolt

I'd rather it not exist personally. I don't really want any love going through Spyro.

^ Also this.

I don't understand what people dislike about SpyroxCynder.

I have to agree with Darby.

Also, if they continue to keep Cynder as a character, there really is no other choice but for them to advance in their relationship.

Personally, I wouldn't dislike it if it weren't so rushed like it is.

And Darby, there's a huge difference between Elora x Spyro and Spyro x Cynder - There was what? One, maybe two moments between him and Elora? Cynder pretty much took over DotD with all the romance scenes.

Having said all of this, I get the feeling Acti may take the 'meh, don't care what was said in the last game, pretend that part never happened' approach.

No, and beside. SpyroxCynder occurred over the course of two games, that is more than enough time, and they don't really have any 'romantic' moments. They hug once and Cynder says "I love you," that is it.

There's a lot more than just that. Ask anyone who's not a fan of SxC, and they will point them out to you. It doesn't have to be 'romantic' to be SxC.

And those two games are about 3 weeks long. No, I don't consider that enough time. Like I said, I don't hate the pairing, but yes, I do feel as though it was rushed far too much.

Although really, I'm sick of getting into this exact same argument whenever SxC comes up. Some people (esp. teens) feel it's enough time, others don't. That's it.

^ Because teens feel as though you only need to know somebody for two days in order to love them. They want things to happen that fast. They don't seem to understand that it doesn't work that way.

And remember, I'm 14, so I'm suppose to be like that. Don't know what makes me different.

It's fanservice, but at the same time it's cannon. So they have two options:

1. Don't make them a couple, and create yet another plothole that will have people wondering why they even bothered having that line at the end of DotD.
2. Make it a couple, and try not to change the game too much to the point that even MORE people hate the pairing.

Regardless of what they do, there will be a backlash.

Personally, I don't care if they are in a couple, as long as it doesn't radically change the game.

Okay, I've been defeated.
Can we please talk about something else now?

I don't think I do. Maybe it's just because I'm out of it.

It's a Sonic X reference, relating to your post! Anyway, they can do what they want with SxC. I don't think it could ruin the game, but meh. As long as there is craic to be had.

I agree with Bolt; Cynder is replacing Sparx as Spyro's sidekick, little by little. She's cool n' all, but I honestly don't see much more development for her character... She's redeemed herself, proven her worth. There isn't much more that needs to be done regarding her character, just as Insomniac had nothing left for Spyro. (Damn, did I just compare Cynder to Insomniac?)

^ You never know what Activision will pull out of their ass.

I know it's a reference to Sonic X. But what does that have to do with my post?

Putting all the stuff about story , platholes, and fanservice aside, I just want something fun. It's be a real nice change to have in the Spyro franchise.

I thought LoS was good craic....*shot*

In all honesty, I didn't really like the gameplay as much in ANB and TEN, but mainly TEN. ANB had a bit of that repetitive fighting but there was also more unique enviroments and boss battles (such as the mine cart fight... Best part of the game!) whilst TEN was 'Die! Die! DIE!'. Call me crazy, but I find it more fun to casually play DotD then the other two, despite the things that I think went wrong about it. In other words: I'd rather SK be DotD style then ANB/TEN style. *Shot*.

I thought ANB was more repetitive. TEN had more platforming and puzzles.

We ALL hope it's good. As I said, as long as there is craic to be had!
If Activision mess up, then they can póg mo hón!

I think ANB was my least favourite. And I only got it recently.....this is gonna sound weird coming from me, but it was too much like the Classics in a weird way...

ANB focused on combat over anything else, and it was costly. It had some pieces of platforming, but not as much as TEN. Combat got repetitive. But it had some nice boss battles. It was kinda like the stepping stone for Krome. They were able to experiment and see what worked and what didn't.

TEN had more platforming and puzzles, but the end result always came to killing more monkeys. And the bad camera would result in cheap deaths that nearly killed the point of all of the platforming. Final batte with Gaul got very repetitive very fast, and had you button-mashing.

DotD was a radical change from all Spyro games, finally giving more power to elements than to simple punching/kicking/tail whipping/head butting/"HI-YA!" screaming. You had to use the elements a lot more often than in the previous games. However, they downplayed the fury, cause while it's alright, I kinda perfered the furies of TEN and ANB. Free-flight was decent, but wasn't as "free" as they promised. And being able to use 8 different elements was a great touch. Unfortunately, some of the breath attacks were similar to each other, like the tornadoes (Ice for Spyro, Wind for Cynder).

I don't have a favorite.
