claude, even in castle town when its full of people?

That's just it - Castle Town is bustling with life. I hear people complain that  not everyone talks to you, but the town has like 3 times the population of OoT's market place...

 


That actually felt to me more realistic!! I mean think about it.. everyone's doing their daily stuff not bothered about you... seriously when was the last time we went to town and talked to everyone?

It is a hardcore game through and through. You will get your ass kicked by bosses. You will be stumped by the sometimes complex, but never overbearing, exploration.

And I don't think it needs any reinventions except more towns, bigger world, voice acting and ochestrated music. I love the gameplay as it is.

Temple of Time in TP is my favourite temple in the series. It is so reminiscent of The Tower of the Gods in WW it's unbelievable.. and I always wanted to see that in realistic 3D lol. Plus the intro chamber [the cathedral-esque room] is just MAGNIFICENT.

Agree with you. My biggest dissapointment with TP was the lack of personality in towns and the lack of side-missions (poes and such were boring and with no real reward).

I'd like orchestrated music (though TP's music was gorgeous), but I really hope they don't ever add voice acting. I like to read the text and use my imagination. I think most Hollywood movies are cheesy, and Zelda is better off without dramatic voice acting. "TONIGHT... WE DINE IN HYYYYYRUUUUULE!!!" "NOOOOOOOOO...."

No thanks.


Currently playing: NSMB (Wii)

... and of course Zelda (Wii)

The series lacks something, it can't stand with the big boys of gaming, the sound stands no chance with games like FF, it lacks the graphics, it lacks replay value, and the fact that they have no voice's for the people is a major downfall.

They need to totally re-invent this series to save it. Make it darker and more of a dark story to it, toss in a adult link and just get rid of the whole kiddy feel of it.

Of course this is just what i feel about the series and some of you may feel that they should go back to the GC style one they had. This is not a flame on the series i just want something more from it.

 

I actually think it's the other way. I have played TP three times now, and never finished a FF. FF is just too boring, especially with the turnbased fighting
