Personally I enjoy the familiar faces/places/items it's like seeing an old friend. Name to me a single game that doesn't recycle at least some ideas(Yeah even Final Fantasy recycles it all the god damned time) Reusing good ideas isn't a bad thing in fact every game does it if it doesn't suck so bad to never get a 2nd and 3rd.
I was a little pissed about the whole revisiting the same dungeon but there was a logistical reason for that. One it added playtime, two saved on developing multiple dungeons three allowed them to focus on other areas instead and four I guess saved space(are some DS games coming close to capacity yet? I know they're making bigger carts already.)
Is it me though or did he not seem as mean to it as some other games(Halo 3, Bioshock etc.)
