I really did.....thats one of the few things....actually its the only thing that bugged me.....they took away one of the things that sorta I liked about the original ones(Heck they changed the blue gem into a purple gem!).....so why did Insomniac change both the chest and gem designs?

I don't know but I prefered the change.

I liked old chests and gems more, but I think hey, it's Avalar and stuff, it's not the Dragon Realms anymore!

I know the first time I played RR it really threw me off. These days, I don't mind. I really love the solid "TONG!" the metal vases make when you smash them.

Heh,Yeah,thats one of my favorite things now in the spyro games.Whenever I smash those vases,"TONG!"then the sound of the gem being collected is one of my favorite sounds in the spyro games.....

But I still wonder what was with the sudden design change...

It was a slight upgrade to the graphics, but also, Avalar is a different universe, so it only makes sense that some things would be different.

Yes but strangely this made a plothole in Year of the Dragon when the same chests appeared again.The only new chest that was correctly in the Forgotten Realm's was the newer locked chest.

I miss the ones where you had to flame or charge the casket and a gem would come out which made a nice sound.

Not as big a plothole as it first appears. The Forgotten Realms has a canonical tie to Avalar in the present (the Professor is actually from the Forgotten Realms and there's a portal that leads from there back to Avalar). A lot of the cultures there also resemble Avalarians.

The Dragon Realms, however, have been cut off from the Forgotten Realms for at least a thousand years. During that time, they've become somewhat insular and it makes sense that they would end up developing different ways to hold their treasures. */nerd*

From the first game? Yeah.....

I wanted the third game to be a little more unique from 2 but no....

the only thing that was different was level design. and additional characters

i miss the old design very very much

I got the spyro 1-3 games in the opposite order... I can't decide what treasure chests I like the most. I think the chests from Spyro 1 wouldn't go very well into the levels of Spyro 2 and 3. And the chests/vases/baskets would not go well in Spyro 1O.o

i miss everything about the old games. :/

But you guys have to remember, it would be a plothole if they used the same chests. but i do think that the forgotten worlds should have differant chests than, too. but i did miss it...
