Heya everyone, Cloudman here. Back with another thread. It`s been a lil while, but there was something I wanted to discuss, which I don`t think has been brought up, so I wanted to do that! : ) So yeah, let`s get into it.

 

So recently, I got Splatoon and even beat the single player campaign! (By the way, everyone who has the game should play the SP just for the final boss. It`s so great! Actually, the whole thing is great. Just play it! x ) ) Surprisingly, the campaign was really great, having a sort of Mario feel to it, which each stage having its own gimmick to overcome. While I played through it all, there was a question that kept coming back to me:

 

Why aren`t the Octopus girl characters playable too?

 

(And why are they only girls for that matter? o: But that`s another topic.) I know the game is about playing as the squids, which is cool! I love those characters. But so are the Octolings. They definitely give off a tough, cool vibe for them. And they have shown to work well as functional characters. So why not have them as a selectable?

Squid? Kid? Naw bro, it`s all about those Octolings ; )

Thinking on it now, having them selectable would be kinda odd, since they are the bad guys of the game, and having them mixed with the inklings in the main hub area would be weird, but maybe if there is a 2nd game, they could be made as a 2nd selectable group to choose? : ) At least it would make this more sensable...

I thought we were all good guys...? : (


So what do you think? Would you like to be an octo too? Or are squids where it`s at???? : D

As always, thanks for reading. : )

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I'm still waiting on Dogelings myself!



But yes, playing at the Octarians would be awesome. They're so sassy!



They aren't playable because the "you're an octopus now, you're a kid now" doesn't roll off the tongue as well

Judging by how this game is structured, I'm sure it'll be free DLC sometime down the line anyway, but I agree. The Octarians honestly have way better designs than the Squidlings. If the octopus boys have dreads, I'll be sold.



I have to vote octopus. Squid are squidderific, but don't go underestimating those octupi.

I was feeling the same way when I was writing this up. Likely due to time, it wasn`t possible to have them as playable characters, and I was hoping too they could be free dlc added later..? I suppose also the drive of the game are the inkling characters, so the Octarians would sort of impose on that.

Also, I agree on their designs. ; ) They are also really great. The team did a good job on designs.
