    It’s so cool to me that someone who has a passion for classical operatic music can listen to this soundtrack and basically nail the plot just based on the music. I don’t have the background you have, but I loved these games my whole childhood, and I had no idea how succinct the soundtrack was.

    Following the events of the Eternal Night, Spyro defeated Gaul though nearly loosing to the dark powers that he used to defeat him. The Mountain of Malefore collapsed around Spyro, Sparx and Cynder. Unable to escape, Spyro encases himself along with Sparx and Cynder in an amber crystal to protect against the collapsing mountain.
    Three years later they are awoken from the amber to a world where Malefore is gaining control again and amassed an army of dark creatures he created. Spyro must journey to find the other elders that sent him on the quest in the Eternal Night and eventually face Malefore.
    I think you hit the nail on the head. Its amazing to listen to you talk about this music. It makes me happy. I hope you've enjoyed the journey thus far.

      @@Golems_victory besides plot armour, Spyro would've never naturally been eaten by the golem if cynder wasn't there. And cynder wouldn't have been captured by the golem because she wasn't talking to Spyro. Also I forgot about the horn at the beginning, you do need cynder for that, and the electric wall stuff too. But besides all of that. And you need Spyro's fire if you're playing the normal way but cynder can run the entire game without Spyro, except for the horn at the beginning. Absolutely everything else though, you can get around

    I agree. It's sad that _"The Legen of Spyro"_ were lost to time. They are quite meeningfull and quite deep. I still reminece to these days of how dark and impactful these games felt when I first played them. Kinda sad. Would love to see a reboot of them like the original 3 did. The funny ones.

    @jurtheorc8117 Год назад +4

    Quite a delight to see this pop up in my recommended! Someone else said this in the comments already, but you've got it down very well regarding this game's/series' theme, from what i remember.
    The Legend of Spyro trilogy specifically is its own continuity and story from the PS1 (and other) Spyro games. Imagine Avatar: The Last Airbender by way of Dragons instead, where different dragons can have different elemental alignments based on their color. Red is fire, Blue is ice, Yellow is lightning and Green is earth. Thus, Purple Dragons are unique, capable of learning to control all four elements.
    But! And this is from what i remember a kind of spoiler-ish revelation late in the game, one that doesn't get capitalized on much, :
    Purple dragons are not by necessity a force of good, *or* evil. Their very existence is an exceptional one that, in time, the entire world will take notice of.
    So indeed, like you say, Spyro's very presence is one that has an immense effect on the world. And the question is, if he can truly choose his path, or if one has already been laid out for him.

    if I recall correctly, this is actually a theme from ANB that went unused in that game. it's funny how well it fits as a title theme for Dawn of the Dragon
    and honestly, it really does feel like this trilogy got lost to time. I will admit that A New Beginning and The Eternal Night did not have the best gameplay, and while Dawn of the Dragon is the best game of the trilogy imo, it does fumble in some areas, but all of the games have a lot of love and passion put into them. I would really love to see some kind of reimagining for them someday which revises the gameplay of ANB and TEN and makes them less monotonous as well as story expansion as there are so many scenes that got cut out which would've fleshed out the characters etc
    I know it will never happen but I still dream of it

They already had one successful Spiro trilogy, they didn't care about this one. So the only real fans of this trilogy are those who played this one first. While there are a few people here and there who accepted it, most who played the ps1 trilogy first became full on elitists who buried this trilogy and mocked it.
