Official Spirit Tracks Hype Thread

Why do they need Zelda's body to house a demon anyways? Why not someone less important?

I beg to differ.

Only TP was bad in my eyes.

Probably something to do with the magic power that Tetra had in PH- It was most likely passed down to the new Zelda, and it might be important for the Demon to be resurrected. (Light Force, perhaps?)

And PH.

^Okay. I only thought it was because Zelda, being the princess and all, would hold an enormous influence over what happens in the country.

Haven't played PH. Just saying that ST won't be better than PH in my eyes if the gameplay hasn't improved.

My god. You're complaining about a game you haven't even played?
You just love being negative, don'cha?

I know what he was saying (that to him it can't be better than PH, however good that is, if the gameplay isn't any better), but I can't resist:

Not complaining. Just saying that there had better be better gameplay to balance out the deeper story.

That sounds like a threat. I can just picture you standing over Aonuma with a crowbar yelling: YOU FAILED TO MEET MY PERSONAL RATHER SPECIFIC IDEALS OF A GOOD GAME! NOW DIE!

Well, considering you haven't even played Phantom Hourglass and as such do not know how well the game plays, how is this a bad thing? I mean, as far as you know, PH plays like a dream, and as such, Spirit Tracks will too.
Nothing you say makes sense.

And I thought that PH had great gameplay- the level design, however, was rather mediocre. If ST keeps the same gameplay but has better dungeons and side quests, it will be much better then PH in my eyes.

You hold the stylus over the pipe you want to play and blow over the mic. To change notes, simply path the stylus to a different flute. Sounds about as good as it could be.

I know the picture with Zelda / Link / Locomo guy has been posted before, but it really reminds me of Forest Meadow playing Ocarina with Saria. Nostalgia most welcome!

Kinda late, but there were some extra footage shown in the GTTV episode while they talked about ST. I went ahead and took some screenshots for you who didn't bother watching the entire episode.



^Is that castle town? Hmm. Well I'm glad they didn't reuse a model from PH for that woman, while the style is pretty much the same.


^Not very interesting. From the forest dungeon I guess.



^Nice looking interior. People seem to be talking a lot about the tracks appearing and disappearing. Again, new character model. (I think)


^Cool looking train boss in what seems to be some kind of an ice cavern.

That last one looks like the spider thing seen in previous trailers.

Ice cavern you say? And that boss creature looks like it could be considered as a Ghoma. Hmmm... On the ST Map it shows a crab creature on the southern portion near the coastline. In FSA we have "Frozen Hyrule", which is roughly around that portion of the map. Could this be a hint?

^Hmm. Coal..

^What.. is that?

^BADASS.

You know, I liked the idea of trains in Zelda, but the whole "race of people on wheels" thing is really taking it too far.

EDIT: Is that a rocket train?

Could it be? NPCs that are actually aware of the bad things that are happening?

And... why do Link and Alfonzo(?) have cuccos on thier heads?

EDIT: Thanks for the pics, guys.

Sweet, new pics. Thanks.

Aw, Link looks cute. ;D

^What.. is that?

That's the almighty something of almightyness! Duh!
Though it does look angry. I'd back away.

^BADASS.

Indeed it is bad ass. He looks pissed...

Anyone else find it funny that they recycled characters for important roles (like Gonzo, who looks to be Link's mentor), but didn't recycle any NPCs? (Well, so far.)

Also, Doomtrain there looks awesome. But I'm still wondering about that vehicle with the rocket thruster sticking out of the rear.
