Poll
Question:
What's your favorite minigame? (Diabolical Box version)
Option 1: Hamster
Option 2: Camera
Option 3: Tea Set
First of all. THIS TOPIC SHOULD REMAIN SPOILER FREE UNLESS YOU MARK SPOILERS AT THE TOP OF YOUR POST.
So I know not many people play these games, but I love them. Let's start out with a poll, which game fit you like best? I think for me probably Diabolical Box, but it's pretty even with Unwound Future.
Really looking forward to the Last Specter on 10-17 and the movie, Eternal Diva, on 11-8.
My vote goes to Unwound Future, but I like a lot Diabolical Box too. Oh! And the movie is gonna be released in English? Great! Didn't know! :D
Unwound Future all the way. Ugh dat ending...
Over here, in Australia, the 'Diabolical box' is named 'Pandora's Box' and it is exactly the same except for the title.
My vote would be for 'the Diabolical/Pandora's box because it is the only one I have actually played.

Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney Trailer

"this time the puzzles are filled with contradictions"
^It's going to be so amazing. And apparently it may be released in English... don't know if it's America or England yet.

I certainly hope it's released in America... it really looks amazing. And someone posted two tracks from that game, and man, they sounded fantastic.

o_O OH MY GOD BETTER THAN THE LIVE VERSION ON THE SOUNDTRACK *resists urge to squeal*
IT SOUNDS GOOD OMG I KNOW
When I first heard it I was just all "hsdksajhsfs need game now"
Eargasm all over the place...omg...wow... That part at 0:50...just...what...speechless...and that piano part...
I love Layton music.... so ridiculously good...
I know omg
I can't wait to hear the rest of the soundtrack!
Actually, that song is from the movie, Eternal Diva: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8qOKz2pzwI
Oh, you haven't heard the Eternal Diva soundtrack yet, have you? Hmm...Most of it is arranged music from the first several games. Listen:

The Phoenix Wright's theme is the Gyakuten Saiban Orchestra song, so it's not like it's a new song, but it still is amazing. Love Gyakuten Saiban Orchestra <3
Prof Layton's theme is really nice too.

GWAH HA HAH!! XD That's priceless...
I've played them all, and they were the best games ever- besides Pokemon, of course. The Unwound Future was my favorite, because the music was so much catchier. That helps, when you're listening to the puzzling theme and absentmindedly completing a challenge.

Really? I think Unwound Future's music was good, but the Puzzle theme from Diabolical Box was best. The London 3 (Live) theme is also good from UF but the in game version is annoying...all that goddamn accordion! XD the only theme in game I thought was fantastic was the Puzzle Battle theme... and of course the Unwound Future main theme as well as the research facility and mobile fortress. All the others are either sort of good or just okay.
The music from Diabolical box and Curious Village was just too... lonely for me. XD

Getting the game today! really excited.
ASFSKDJ I CANT GET IT UNTIL TOMMOROW :\
I want to get the game but I need my money for Skyward Sword D:
So IGN gave it a score of 9.0 and called it the best Layton game thus far.
I know this sounds really geeky, but I cannot WAIT for layton on 3DS's cutscenes.
frig I'm gonna have to wait until the holidays /broke
Quote from: shadowkirby on October 18, 2011, 09:46:59 AMI know this sounds really geeky, but I cannot WAIT for layton on 3DS's cutscenes.
According to IGN, Mask of Miracle still has classic 2D cutscenes (really happy). The characters have 3D models or something though and the backgrounds are 3D. You would think cartoonish things would be awkward in 3D, but it sounds like it was done well.
Quote from: SlowPokemon on October 18, 2011, 12:47:02 PMYou would think cartoonish things would be awkward in 3D, but it sounds like it was done well.
Look at the dialogues, the models are in 3D and they are cartoonish, and they did a pretty good job there. Still, full 3D cutscenes would be better.
Game is amazing so far. Typical Layton air of mystery and such. And when I first turned on the game, I sat there for literally three minutes listening to the title screen music. XD it's pretty awesome.

Well I just had no idea who the villain in the fourth game was until you said that. -_- so that's just me.
So I finished the game.
MY REVIEW.
Professor Layton and the Last Specter is a phenomenal game. It's Professor Layton, after all. He's back with a VENGEANCE. Same basic format used in Unwound Future. It's a great formula, and it hasn't been messed with at all since practically the first game.
Main points of the game:
THE PUZZLES: 9/10
The puzzles are as great as ever, and perhaps a little more challenging towards the beginning than in previous games. Despite this, I encountered only one puzzle the entire game that I could not solve. As opposed to previous games, where I found the need multiple times to take a break from a puzzle, then come back later. So although the puzzles towards the beginning might have been a little tougher, overall they weren't as hard as other games. There isn't even a "final stage" level filled with ridiculous puzzles as there was in previous games. I also finished the game with 50 or so hint coins. However, these proved to be good use in the post-game puzzle challenges, which are ridiculously tough in their own right.
THE SOUND: 9/10
The music is possibly at an all time high for the Layton series. The title screen music, "The Last Specter's Theme," is a live version and extremely jazzy (like other main themes for the series). The rest of the music in the game turns out somewhat whimsical and wistful. The most prominent theme, "Misthallery's Many Canals," is extraordinary in its simple lonely beauty. The new puzzles theme is quite lackluster, turning out more annoying than anything, though. It's definitely the low point of all puzzle themes. The "Puzzle Deductions" theme, however is really jazzy and catchy (but is only heard sparsely). Overall, the music is pretty awesome. Some themes are bland and get old really quickly, but mostly the music is wonderful. And it's all high quality.
THE PRESENTATION: 10/10
Graphics, art, voice acting, cutscenes...everything's the same as in previous games, or better.
THE STORY: 8/10
The story (that of a giant monster attacking a small rural town) is original and compelling...but... it will disappoint those familiar with the Layton games. Those insane, bizarre plot twists that we've come to expect from Layton games? They're here, but they're not so incredible, and I think only once in the entire game did I say to myself, "Wow...that was crazy." The secret behind the specter was not so unexpected or crazy. Of course, this is the beginning of the second trilogy, so maybe it's trying to mimic the simplistic style of Curious Village? That being said, it's interesting to see Layton's first meeting with Luke. And after the credits, the final two cutscenes should really bring two smiles to your face--the first one of pure happiness, the second a bit malicious.
OVERALL: 9/10
Consensus: Not as good as Unwound Future, but with all the appeal of Diabolical Box,
Professor Layton and the Last Specter is a gaming treat that puzzle-lovers and Layton fans alike will warmly receive.
Lol I like trying to mimic professional sites' review styles.

That scene was so freaking hilarious though. I <3 Puzzlette.
I've heard good stories and reviews on this series, what is it about though, exactly?
New poll! Vote, guys. :P
There's a 3ds Prof. Layton coming?! Sorry, I always feel as though I've been living under a rock. DX
When I got the last Specter and the title screen music started, I was blown away. It's by far the best Layton music I've heard since the Unwound Future challenge puzzle theme.
Hahaha, yeah there's Mask of Miracle coming this year, and an as yet to be announced date for the release of Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney...both of which, I'm guessing, will be awesome.
I loved this series! i cant wait for the next one on the 3ds!
if i added it up together...i finished all 3 games in less than 2 days! D:
i loved the ending for the unwounded future...i cried...was soo sad...:P

No love for Flora or Emmy.
Alright new poll and also a note about the movie, Eternal Diva. I went back and watched it for the first time since I first saw it and noticed a TON of cameos and game references. Here's what I noticed:
During the first scene showing Layton and Luke in their seats at the theater, Beluga, the owner of the Molentary Express, walks past them through the aisle.
During Janice's flashback, when she speaks to the little girl in the street, a man similar to Stachenscarfen walks past her.
When Janice and the young girl are at the restaurant, you can see Granny Riddleton at the table next to theirs.
When Layton and Luke get out of the Laytonmobile to enter the theater, Babette, the woman on the Molentary Express who lost Tom, walks past them.
When the puppet on stage is addressing the audience, the camera pans across the audience and you can see Beluga once more.
When Emmy interrogates the family in London, Claudia the cat is on their couch.
In Dr. Schrader's office, the Elysian Box is on the table next to the television, and Babette and Beluga are once more visible on the beach that the television shows.
If anyone else notices other cameos like that, let me know!
I lost my copy of the Last Specter. ;_; I need to buy a new one...
Inspector Chelmey TO THE TOP XD
Actually I think they're all great characters but I voted for Grosky because I think he's hilarious. "I'll just run all the way to misthallery, nbd"

New poll! I think I have to vote for Professor Layton's Theme, it's just classic. Although the intro to Last Specter's Theme is totally badass. And the Unwound Future is brilliant. And that part where the accordion kicks in during the jazzy part of Elysian Box gets me every time.
Aw man, you're making me choose?! All of them are great! D: But I think I might go with Layton's Theme. Because Layton.
That's indeed a very hard choice...
I think I will have to go with The Elysian Box Theme.
Last Specter came close, though, due its overall awesomeness.
Quote from: Nebbles on July 27, 2012, 11:32:15 AMAw man, you're making me choose?! All of them are great! D: But I think I might go with Layton's Theme. Because Layton.
^^^this. I honestly can't decide, but I did notice that although the beginnings of each song are different, they all seem to morph into the same style jazzy accordion. Not that it doesn't sound AMAZING, but I think it kind of seems like it's all one song. That's why I'm choosing professor laytons theme...it doesn't do that.

You must have missed this part (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=dFBKHSitIjo#t=48s) then.
Yeah if you'll notice, the beginning of Elysian Box uses the same chord progression from the beginning of Layton's theme. In addition, the overall style of them are quite similar.
I love how the specter's flute melody was incorporated into the main theme of Last Specter.
i still got the last specter's main theme in my head...soo catchy! xD
but i also like curious village too. but last specter is still a winner for me
Professer Layton games are the best! I played the first one for one specific puzzle that I love (that happened to be at the veeery end lol) and fell in love. My fav has to be Last Specter. little Luke is sooo cute xD
Which game has the best main theme?
Professor Layton's Theme (Professor Layton and the Curious Village)

Wow, I expected to see more love for Unwound Future! New poll up in a moment.
All right, this poll is for your favorite town of the games.
I love the feel of St. Mystere, with its quirky inhabitants and air of mystery. I'm also fond of the quiet beauty of Misthallery. And of course, Layton and Luke seem most at home in London and Future London. But in the end, I had to vote for Folsense, because the lonely secret behind the town is the most sad and beautiful thing in the entire series--the bright lights of the town, the lonely air about it....I just love the feel of Folsense.
Also, I noticed something today. SPOILER ALERT FOR CURIOUS VILLAGE AHEAD

In Granny Riddleton's profile in Curious Village, it says she "is further proof of Bruno's bizarre sense of humor." This would imply that she's a clockwork robot and Bruno created her. But, she appears in all the later games too, including Last Specter which takes place BEFORE Curious Village. Weird.
Yeah, I am quite shocked that The Unwound Future didn't get a vote. :o
(Quick split my vote in half.)
Hmmm... now what village to vote for. (This is going to be a hard one too.)
Oh and... Spoiler ALERT!
hold down the left mouse button and drag down here to see it.
---> :I noticed that too, maybe Bruno made Granny Riddleton that long ago. (How long has Flora been waiting in that village?)
That was tough to choose from....
I liked all towns...but i think i would say the future london appealed to me more
My vote goes with Folsense. It stuck with me, for some reason.
"London, baby!"
-Joey Tribbiani
Ok, I am voting for future London,
it was just a perfect setting. (Not to mention it had great music.)
Folsense would be my second choice.

Haha, I have done something kinda similar to that before. XD
Though as Layton would say it. "Critical thinking is the key to success."
Yeah, it's going to be pretty sad to see the series go,
at least we still got two more games.
Oh wait, did they really just say it's the last game for Layton. (As in, the series might keep going?)
As much as it would't be the same without Layton,
I wouldn't mind playing a game with Luke as the main character. (especially if he somehow ended up like future Luke.)
I just don't get how they're going to end the series NOW...At the end of Unwound Future, Luke mailed Layton a letter that he had a mystery to solve over in America...O.o
There's gotta be more. There's no way they're just gonna leave the series hanging with a Cliffhanger like that. No way.
I thought of that too,
maybe that was to show that the Professor and Luke had many more adventures together even after the games.
(Well, who knows what Level 5 is going to do after the sixth game.)
Okay, so for those who have played Diabolical Box, here's something I'm wondering.
Sammy Thunder is Beluga's NEPHEW, according to the profiles. Beluga only had one brother, Anton.
Did Anton have more kids he didn't know about or something?!?!?

Wifey's side of the family...?
oh wow didn't even think about that
Beluga is married? :O
I started the Curious Village, and I like it because it makes me feel smart :P Im not going to read the rest of this thread just in case of spoilers, so bear with me if I say something that has already been said. I like the idea of the multiple large-scale mysteries at once, but I feel bad for Layton since he has to handle so much at once and everyones so rude to him. If I was him Id just leave the village, but I guess hes too absorbed in the puzzles and that would kinda ruin the game
A gentleman never leaves a mystery unsolved.
But he has to draw the line somewhere
Nope. Not in his nature. Prof. Layton takes a lot of crap, but keeps a calm facade... that's what a gentleman does.
prof layton always thinks of all the possible outcomes that could happen. Always prepared for whatever is going to show up.
that's why he is a true gentleman :P
Actually, I'm pretty sure it's his hat.
oh yes. totally XD
A true gentleman indeed. :D
(Oh I just noticed it has been a while, should we start another poll?)
To all you fans, does Professor Layton have logical puzzles like this!?!:
My friend has two children. One of them is a girl born on Thursday. What is the probability of him [my friend] having two daughters?
I guess it depends (though Im not a good person to inform you on Professor Layton). If the answer is a trick question, then probably. (Im guessing its 50% but Im probably horribly wrong :P)
I think you know my response. :P
Professor Layton makes me want to be as guy just so I could develop a sexy british accent and tell people how to be proper gentlemen
Holy ETFing shit. Has anyone beaten the game yet O_O
Miracle Mask? Nope. I'm getting my copy tomorrow after I see Wreck it Ralph though!
I'm seeing that tomorrow too!
YAY!
I beat it. I cried. Then I stared in awe at the epilogue.
god dammit miracle mask is gonna make me cry too???
I played Miracle Mask for 4 hours until my headache prevented me from completing puzzles. Seriously my favorite 3rd party series.
Beat all the puzzles in the game.
The Bunny minigame is the most adorable thing ever, no exceptions.
Got Miracle Mask earlier!! :D
I don't know much about Prof. Layton games, but I really wanted to play the Prof. vs. Ace Attorney in Labyrinth City. Is it out yet? Sorry for my lack of knowledge. :-\
awwww when's miracle's mask coming out in aus!! TT^TT
Ugh I cant find the Diabolical Box ANYWHERE! I should've just bought it at the same time as the Curious village :( I was going to buy them all off of Amazon but I wasnt allowed to because Christmas is soon and my mom has no idea what to get me. Theres so many spoilers online I cant even look up the music -.-
Wow that is a problem. Hmm. Ask for it for Christmas or something XD
So you finished Curious Village then?
But I cant wait that long :P And yea, it was great. I havent completely finished all the puzzles because I cant find them all and I dont wanna cheat just yet
Just wondering, are they supposed to be calling the box the "Elysian Box"? I heard it was different in different countries and Im gonna be really pissed off if this isnt the american version
That's the actual name. It's the same in all countries, just the name of the game is different. In Japan the name is "Devil's Box" and in Europe it's "Pandora's Box".
Ok. Thats better then :D
I'm pretty sure that the UK version is named the Diabolical Box. That's 3 names!
Quote from: BonusPwnage on November 17, 2012, 11:36:33 AMI'm pretty sure that the UK version is named the Diabolical Box. That's 3 names!
*slaps head*
EUROPE is Pandora's Box, as is Australia. Diabolical Box is America only.
*Whimpers in the corner due to hurtful feedback
Well, I finished Miracle Mask. My feels. All of them.
I don't have a 3ds, can't get it.
I finished the Diabolical Box and.. :'( It was beautiful.
Spoiler:
They really like plot twists where every person you interact with is fake, dont they?
Yeah the layton games are notorious for really complicated, very improbable plots. I really like that though. Diabolical Box made me cry the last time I played it. Also, replay the ending and listen to the credits music.
Layton games are just good at confusing you to no end with the plot twists at the end. Just wait until Unwound Future, hoo boy...
I felt like Last Specter and Miracle Mask were more formulaic in their plot twists. Particularly Miracle Mask. But everything about MM was so beautiful, didn't you think?
Oh yes, MM was amazing. So many feels from everything ever in that game...
Yup, I cried :D It was just so sweet, especially how he told Sophia to wait for him, but I still think Anton is secretly a girl. What about the ending song?
Be prepared for me requesting these songs, since they seem playable but no one did them yet
Again, wait until Unwound Future.
We need a bigger Professor Layton section. We really do. :C
I cant get it until Christmas :( Thats way too much waiting.
Also I just realized how quickly I finished this game XD I have a problem
The only way to get its own section is for us to arrange more songs for the series. I've already submitted one, and I plan to do more.
Yes, and I... tried to start something from Last Specter but I still can't arrange (well like at all) without help hahaha sob
What part of arranging do you find hard? If you need help, I'm here...
...all of it?? I'm an arranging newbie. I did ONE song that I haven't submitted yet, and only because Spit sat with me for two hours and helped me out.
Do you not have the right software? Or is it just hearing and identifying notes? Or something else? Where do you gfind the most trouble?
The notes yes, and just putting it all together.
One thing that helps me is listening to individual parts of a song again and again, and trying to hear every note. Every time I hear a note I didn't before, I hum it (so I don't forget it) while navigating back to the software I use to plonk it into place.
That's what I did, but eh, I'm not very good.
This is the song in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcCQaKHmhdY
Is your problem getting the rhythm of the notes down?
That too? I'm just not good with arranging :c
If something doesn't sound right, just erase that part and try it again. If you still can't get it right, then ask around for help. Usually, I'm very busy, but it's Thanksgiving break and I can help you this Mon.-Thu. (Not at 5pm. and later) and next Sat. (also not 5 or later)
I've arranged a bit of Layton music, more than anyone on the site I think. I just finished an ensemble arrangement of "Monte d'Or: Carnival Night" but idk if I should put it up.
I think the problem with "The Toy Train" is that it would really require three hands to sound perfect. I might try to arrange it though, it's an interesting piece.
Go for it!
Put up ALL the Layton music! Seriously, it needs a section of its own and we gotta build it.
And if you tried Slow I'd love you forever ok
Okay, I'll see what I can do. Right now I'm arranging "The One-Stop Shop" from Miracle Mask, which you probably know is the most adorable little waltz theme ever, so I think I'll try to finish that first. I doubt it will take me long. XD It actually reminds me a bit of the Swapnote theme in structure.
Yeah, we do need more Layton music on the site. :/ Hm.
Goodness, I'm listening to the arrangement now and screw studying, I wanna waltz with someone!! It's so cute!
An experienced dance partner reporting for duty.
SlowPokemon, that arrangement is awesome. I'll play it later today. :D
Thanks!
As for "The Toy Train"... it really won't be a good piano arrangement. I figured out some of the chords, but it's too difficult a project for what it will become. I'd have to have the piano bouncing in the left hand while the right hand plays the melody, which is really quite difficult and most likely wouldn't sound as good. I think that's why I dropped that project in the first place (I had considered arranging it before).
I'm working on "Descole's Theme" instead. Sorry Nebbles!
Oh and I claim the Iris Music Box song. Who is Iris anyway? :P
Iris is just the name of the song. It doesn't really have a meaning. There's a full version that plays over the credits that I tried to have you listen to. :P It's so beautiful. The Japanese version has lyrics and it's even better.
No I heard the credits song, and it was great. I just dont think I could arrange it, so I picked the music box one. And I feel this is worthy of the english vocals, even though it isnt official. I though Iris was Sophia's alternate name or something

OMG THE FEELS.
Wait a second, was Iris~Shiawase no Hako an actual song before the game came out, or did she sing it for the game specifically?
It was written for the game, like all of the Layton end themes.
Interestingly enough, though, Tomohito Nishiura (the composer for the Layton games) only wrote the credits music for one game: Curious Village ("End Theme"). This is the only credits music with no lyrics (in Japanese).
"Iris" (Diabolical Box), "Time Travel" (Unwound Future), "Paxmaveiti" (Last Specter), and "Mysterious Flower" (Miracle Mask) were all written and performed by other artists and not included on the original soundtracks, besides the Iris music box theme and Time Travel piano theme. I like all of them, Iris being my favorite and Mysterious Flower being my least favorite (Layton song of all time).
Also, I arranged Descole's Theme.
Thats pretty cool that they get real artists to sing songs for them :D
I have a few questions about the game that have been bugging me:
(sorry about the small font but if someone gets their game ruined by these spoilers I'd feel really bad)
If Beluga was Anton's brother, his only sibling, then how is Sammy his nephew? Does he have a wife that they never mention? He doesnt seem like the type who would be called "uncle" by a family friend, comsidering he seems to hate Sammy
Was Chelmey, Beluga, and the other people even at Folsense at all, or were they just hallucinations as well? If they were, then how did an imaginary dog rip open his pocket. If they werent there, then how did Layton's mind know what the ripped up picture looked like?
Nigel was a hallucination as well, and Im under the impression that Anton was the only actual person in the village. How did he ge food then? I doubt someone of his status would have a farm, but if he believed that Nigel was serving him dinner each night, how did he survive for 50 years on nothing?
Sorry if I ruined the game with my over analyzing :D
Oh and is Iris in 3/4 or 4/4 time? Im pretty sure its 4/4 but some of the measures seem weird
It's all in 4/4.
SPOILERS AHEAD.
1. Beluga likely has a wife. He and Anton have no other siblings.
2. Chelmey and Barton also hallucinated the village, but they were definitely actually there.
3. Nigel was real, he was there at the end. Some of the others in the village, like Pavel and Stahcenscarfen (and I'm assuming Joseph) were also real.
SPOILERS
But if Chelmey was there, how did the dog rip his coat? If the dog was real, then how did the fake grocer give Layton a steak to give him? Nigel and the other people were real, but they all left and went to Dropstone. You can see in the ending credits Nigel going to say hello to Anton when he goes back with the group to Dropstone, so he was real but the one that Layton met in the castle was a hallucination. Pavel and Stahcenscarfen were actually there? I just thought that they were placed there since Layton and Luke remembered them from the Curious Village, and that Joseph was Layton's subconcious telling him that something wasnt right about the town

The village did exist, it was just extremely run-down due to the fact of people hallucinating, thinking it was still a hey-day place...I'd pretty much agree with Slow, except perhaps they were all there, just really really REALLY old, kinda like Anton? Idk. But yeah, there's plot holes here and there...
And don't even get us started on The Unwound Future's HUGE cliffhanger.
OMG.
No, Bubbles. Not everyone was a hallucination. Kman is right, it only makes sense if most people were actually there. Just, they weren't there as Layton was imagining them.
The Layton games are so underrated, and I think that's only because so little people in America know about it. Layton is hardly iconic, compared to other characters, like Mario or Sonic, yet I love his games just as much (if not more) then theirs.
Part of that love, for me, would be that the Layton games have the most dynamic plot lines out of any game I've ever played. And I just can't resist an intriguing story in a video game.
I love how the plot twists always throw me off guard!

Hmm. You need 999.
Also, Layton games aren't underrated, they're just not well-known. Their ratings are actually pretty good.
Well, I guess that's what I meant. Still, I've seen some harsh reviews...

^this! I do hope they bring this game out in the west, it brings together two of my favourite franchises. There are already some videos up on YouTube of the Japanese version - I sneaked a peak and I definitely want it even more now!
I ink my favourite professor Layton game has to be the curious village, just because it was a real mystery to me, I had no idea what to expect! Now that I know something is always fantastical with the Layton series, I kinda know to expect something out of the ordinary!

Me too :) the are some videos up on YouTube showing the first two hours of gameplay.
Trying.to.resist...! Lol
Uhm, no that's not even close.
Yeah. You're way off. WAY OFF.
Ok good :D I was really dissapointed

Tissue?
yes plz
Theres only two more games then I'm all caught up? I thought I had more :'(
And I really hope the Last Specter makes me cry again. Also that Luke moves back with Layton
I didn't cry at Last Specter but several people I know did. I cried at Miracle Mask.
I cried at Last Specter, but didn't cry at Miracle Mask.
Which means Ill cry at both :3 These PMD and Layton games are softening me
I beat Miracle Mask last night, after I got it for Christmas. It was a great game, almost made me cry...
...something I notched was that it was extremely shorter than the other games in the series...either that, or the 8 chapters were much longer than those of other games.

There were seven chapters just like Diabolical Box: like last specter had the same amount as curious village and likely the sixth game will have as many as unwound future. It wasn't that much shorter--though there were far fewer puzzles than all the other games except curious village (though the daily puzzles are phenomenal)
Oh, goodness, all this talk of Professor Layton really makes me wish I had a 3ds. I can't wait to get my hands on Miracle Mask, and judging by everyone's reactions to it, it'll be worth the wait.
Is anyone else absolutely loving the daily puzzles?
Quote from: SlowPokemon on December 30, 2012, 09:04:45 PMIs anyone else absolutely loving the daily puzzles?
From what my friends tell me, they're really fun!
Was the Eternal Diva only dubbed in the European voices? Honestly I cant stand Luke's European voice, even if it is more authentic
It's less authentic actually and very annoying. No American dub unfortunately.
Ugh oh well. Are there any other differences in voice actors? I know Layton is the same.
And how many chapters are in the Last Specter? Im hoping to finish it tonight but I dont want to look it up and get spoiled
Emma's different. Grosky maybe?
10 chapters, plus epilogue and prologue I think
Got the game and finished it. I wasn't that impressed with it in some aspects, unfortunately. I don't know if I just am getting used to the Layton-esque plots, but I knew who the Masked Gentleman was almost immediately, which left little mystery to what was happening. It also missed some sort of whoomph? I guess the game didn't really hold any danger or mystery.
And I agree, it seemed much shorter than the other games, and there were less puzzles that I got stumped on. That might be because of the episodes in the past, though - they took up time without progressing the current plot forwards.
However, the music was fantastic. I was also incredibly pleased with the 3D effects - while I didn't like them based on the trailers, they turned out fantastic and gorgeous. Exploring the areas was a joy, too! And of course, we can't forget the past events and the character design.
But oh my, that little clip after the credits had me bouncing around in my seat :D I can't wait for the next game!

I agree, everything happening in Monte d'Or was incredibly predictable and a bit tired especially compared to the older Layton plots (particularly Last Specter). The Stansbury chapters were interesting but added little to the story other than the Randall / Henry / Angela / Alphonse character development -- the story in those chapters was already revealed to you by present-day Layton so there were very few surprises. And I hated the Akbadain Ruins level -- it was new, but very boring and repetitive. Really interrupted the flow. The plot was too Laytonesque to surprise series veterans. However, the entire last chapter was a pure delight, Layton at its best. Moved me to tears, despite the plot being a bit sappy and contrived even for Layton.
Quote from: November on January 01, 2013, 07:17:50 PMHowever, the music was fantastic.
Totally agree. I see you've read my review of the soundtrack. (My personal favorite track is "Monte d'Or: City of Miracles")

Same thoughts, I was violently against the 3D character models at first but after seeing how beautiful they looked and how gorgeous the 2D backdrops and puzzles were I really enjoyed the visual aspects. I still prefer the 2D style though. ;P

Crazy right?! It set the stage for what could easily be the greatest Layton caper ever!
How could you not cry at that ending TTATT That poor baby
Forever naming all my aquatic Pokemon after her
nfviafngnlkdfnfds I KNEW IT
CLARK TRITON AND DR. STAHNGUN ARE THE SAME VOICE ACTORS
WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS
Actually that guy voices a ton of other characters too but he uses the EXACT SAME VOICE for those two which made it incredibly distracting.
That guy also voiced Dio in Zero Escape Virtue's Last Reward, for any fans of that game.
The singer in the Eternal Diva sound awfully familiar too. Im thinking Mikazaki, but it may be something else
It's no one you've ever heard of (and I'm assuming you're thinking of Hayao Miyazaki, the co-founder of Studio Ghibli and director of several of their films?). It is, however, the Japanese voice of Janice.
Yeah, I mean it sounds like one of the Studio Ghibli films' songs. I have the song in my head and Im searching for it right now
And whoops I swear I typed a y instead of a k
I'm going to guess "the promise of the world (sekai no yakusoku)" from howl's moving castle, but that may not be it
Oh my god thats it. Does even my subconcious run on HMC -.-
I was switching back and forth, it was mainly when she hit powerful sounding notes
I finished Miracles Mask in like 12 hours...XD Is it just me or I always finish PL games around 12 hours.
However...I thought this story was alright...the ending didnt really...blow me away...I could tell who the mask gentleman was before it was revealed. Of course...not gonna say who it was...:D
But I thought the gameplay was really good! There was a new style in this game when it was Layton and Randall's flashback. It was like a...legend of zelda style...on ze DS...LOL
But yeah those were my opinions on that game. Looking forward to the next one though! I THINK IT WII BE THE VERY LAST ONE....NOOOOOO~
^yep, agreed on all accounts
I think today I'm going to go through my older Layton games and do all the puzzles I missed and try and get more collectibles, etc...
Beat all of the puzzles and then you get the extra character profiles which are pretty fun.
Oh I just beat the new game two days ago,
oddly enough... it took me 25 hours... (I normally do beat it in around 12 or more with around a 100 puzzles completed. XD)
though I was sick, so the puzzles did take my brain quite a bit longer this time round. :P
Though yes, that clip after credits. Epic. ;D
So now I have to wait a whole year for the next game...
(At least there are daily puzzles. ;D)
I also noticed that they changed Descole's theme a bit,
and it sounds amazing. :o
Going back through Curious Village again. Oh man, how the games have evolved...

SINCE AUGUST. AND ITS COMING OUT AT THE END OF NEXT MONTH.
OMG DID YOU GUYS SEE THIS?
Professor Layton and the Azran Legacies Trailer!
But in japanese...of course ;)
Apparently the game will come out late this year....oct or nov
I'm sure Nintendo wants to keep releasing a game a year.... Maybe they'll release ace attorney game this year in lieu of the game Japan gets.
Yeah true. but this is gonna be professor layton's last game. TT^TT
(soz the link didn't really work...just fixed it.)
But after listening to the music again, theme song sounds really good! I really wanna play it
HOLD ON A SECOND
I dont speak Japanese, but does it sound to anyone else like at the very end of the video that Emmy says something like "sayonara, Layton"
You cant leave Emmy :(
Well she has to leave at some point, as she isn't there for Curious Village.
But T^T
And yeah I looked at the translation. Hurr de durr
That game looks ridiculously great.
I think it will be the most epic Layton yet.
Maybe we'll get a simultaneous Japanese / North America release, like Pokemon X and Y? They might be starting to do that with all first-party Nintendo games (they've been doing it with Mario for quite a while).

I figured out what the next layton game will be
It will be set in the future
Where robots battle aliens
but one robot believes in peace for both groups, which can only be achieved by solving puzzles!
This robot is called...
PROFESSOR LAYTRON
I'm gonna be heartbroken when Emmy leaves. D:
I'm really curious why Emmy has to leave...
Maybe she has to leave to sacrifice something?
That's the only twisted suggestion I can think of.
Maybe she's behind it all. Doubt it. Maybe she goes off exploring or something.
My guess is (*preparing for rage*) that she'll be killed off. Classic Layton.
That better not happen. I don't think I could handle that.
She says goodbye, so unless shes sacrificing herself (which I can actually see happening :/) I dont think shell die. Maybe she becomes the foster mom of that mummy?
Speaking of that I dont get Flora's whole thing. Who does she belong to? I doubt the law enforcement would just let Layton have her, and she randomly appeared on the train in the Diabolical Box telling them not to leave her anymore. So did layton go through that whole adventure in the Curious village, proving himself as a good replacement father for her, only to not even take care of her?
Quote from: SlowPokemon on January 15, 2013, 04:47:48 AMMaybe she's behind it all. Doubt it. Maybe she goes off exploring or something.
But thast no fun
She's not sacrificing herself lol.
Also Layton told Flora to stay behind and she snuck ahead anyway. She's not a child, she's a young adult, probably 18 or so.
Well Layton's probably trying to keep her safe, so it's out of care.
But I mean where is she? Does layton have an apartment or does he live in the university?
And wow Flora's that old @_@
I think he has an apartment?
Probably an apartment, he sleeps in his office a lot though XD
Indeed he does.
I also started learning your Folsense arrangement, Slow. It sounds lovely.

About time for another poll. I'm surprised the Longons were the most popular, Folsense is my favorite, followed closely by St. Mystere and Misthallery. Anyway, the next poll will be about favorite games (I may have done this before, but before Miracle Mask came out). I'm voting Diabolical Box.
My fav has gotta be Unwounded future all the way :D
Quote from: SlowPokemon on January 15, 2013, 05:55:21 PMYes
Oh ok.
So really...I don't think Flora was that important for the rest. I thought she would be like a big help in unwounded future...but looks like not
Im sorry but Unwound Future wins XD
Flora was in it (omg Im already forgetting this is bad) but it seemed like they kind of just shoved her in there because they had to. I cant remember if she actually did anything substantial except apparently make things worse according to the Layton wikia? I cant remember D: But if I replay it Ill cry again
Yeah, I need to go back and 100 percent UF, but I can't go through that ending without being a gross, sobbing mess.
I'll finish it when no one else is awake so I can cry in peace.
Thats exactly what I did :P I knew i was close to finishing so I didnt want to play it during the day so I had to wait allllllldayyy until people went to sleep so I could curl up and die
Hey, just pointing it out as a little factoid, but have you guys noticed that the top hat in Layton's logo has a curled brim, whereas his actual hat is perfectly flat. Why on earth would they do that?
...it looks fancier??
Thats probably why XD

I'd be best friends with him :D What age barrier? He's actually alot smarter than people give him credit for, since he figured out the pattern in the Last Specter (careful not to add spoilers for blue :D)
It's funny how I actually cosplay as Luke...LOL
So blueflower thinks he wont get hooked on the series
I never said that. I said that it's hard to get me hooked on a series. :P
And I also said that I may or may not cry considering that I didn't during PMD.
Well it's way sadder than PMD, and a lot less juvenile in story
Im crying
Why would they do this
No he cant move on

Most likely a one time thing. You have to remember this game takes place BEFORE curious village.
Oh. Right. XD
It says he's getting married XD I cant believe myself
Im sorry
And the trailer shows him in normal garb.
That's for Miracle Mask plus though, ain't it?
And that was part of a dance, I believe... but I am curious as to why the hat isn't on, even if it's a one time thing!
I want miracle mask +....
So theres two packages hidden on top of my parent's desk. One is directly from amazon, and shakes around like something square and thin. And the other is from a toy store in Kentucky, and when it shakes it doesnt make a sound or move anything inside. If its what I think it is Im gonna be so happy :DD
ooooh :D
Im so clever it hurts (the shady figure from the Curious Village, but dont tell blue anything ;) )

Yes, please don't spoil!
THESE HINTS DON'T HELP AT ALL. I ALREADY KNOW THIS.
Bahaha I hated that XD The third one is the one that actually helps, but I dont like spending that much. If I'm going to waste a hint coin you know I've tried my best to figure out the puzzle
There are only 300 hint coins throughout the game, and some are only available for a limited time, so be careful not to waste them :P
Im restarting Curious Village too :D Lets see if I remember any of these puzzles
dude spoil that please! don't ruin it for anyone else!
Omg please delete it you basically said everything all in one sentence >.<
OMG IM SOO SORRY! I COMPLETELY FORGOT! I deleted it right away.
So sorry!! *bows to the ground* =___= I feel stupid...
No it's okay, at least no one else saw anything.
Its okay :D just protecting the youngins
Haha yep! phewwww~ for those who didn't see.
Lol Curious Village XD The amusement park scene is so great
Also, I never noticed this before--when you talk to Pavel in the sewers, he asks where the train station is. Coincidence...?
I am pretty much skimming over everything you say that I don't understand to avoid spoilers. ::)
If we post spoilers at all, we'll mark them with a very big spoiler warning. I outlined that in the first post (before Pit gave away the entire plot of the third game yesterday XD)

Good boy
Foreshadowing the next game, where they all ride a train.
Idk, theres trains in just about all of them (London Life counts for Last Specter, right? :P)
I love Pavel though. He's seriously one of my favorite characters
He's hilarious. "Konnichiwa amigos, location sil vous plait?"
So many languages XD
And I meant that in Diabolical Box, the entire game was based around a train.

You've played Unowound future right? Its basically foreshadowing the ending XD

The third trivia point. It's the secret of the third game.
I need to stop reading this thread. You guys are tempting me.
DON'T GIVE IN. You must play the games without looking up anything about them!
...which I am currently doing. :P
Maybe not having internet access is a good thing after all...
How far are you in the Curious Village? Once you get to a certain point you wont be tempted anymore because you won't want to spoil it for yourself no matter what
And if you're going to spoil any game, PLEASE don't make it Unwound Future. PLEASE
Ninja'd: SERIOUSLY STOP RIGHT NOW ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY
DONT EVEN GO ON THE WIKI THEY HAVE SPOILERS IN THEIR NON-SPOILER SECTION
Yeah, definitely don't spoil Unwound Future. Don't go to any Layton fan site.
Also after replaying Curious Village the story is way more simplistic, you need to start with this one. Not only does it acquaint you with the Layton style and story, it will seem so unpolished after you play the other ones.
Which means that I have to be able to ask questions in this thread without you guys giving me any "Let me Google that for you" crap. :P
Yes. Also, dont read any other pages in the thread. I dont think I even have yet, for fear of Miracle Mask spoilers from before it came out ::)
Like I said already, all spoilers are clearly marked, but I don't blame you anyhow.
As much as I dont want to see the spoilers, my eyes do >.< To prevent that if I ever see the words "Henry", "Miracle Mask", or "Randall" I have to literally glaze my eyes over and scroll down or I will accidentaly read it XD
Lol well luckily those are just the names of characters in the Miracle Mask, revealed really early in the game.
The true villain is that rapscallion the Masked Gentleman!!!!
Yeah, well they are main character -.- I got loads of spoilers which I hope are fake but I dont want to look it up just in case I get the real ones
MAJOR SPOILERS FOR DIABOLICAL BOX AHEAD
I cannot BELIEVE I didn't get the foreshadowing with the town's name. Folsense = False sense = hallucination. I feel like a moron now.
Luke: Free train ride for 3! now who should I take... Professor. And.....
Flora: :D
Luke: Barton.
Barton: Cool.
Flora: D: <
I love those jokes.
Barton is the best
But Barton isnt in the second trilogy D: (right?)
And Slow I saw that before and facepalmed too XD I love how the endings seem so ridiculous but when you look back they give you sooo many hints
Especially in unwound future. Lol.
I always feel like a doof for never getting those silly plot twists. Oh well.
UNWOUND FUTURESPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERS
In the beginning I was thinking "no way is time travel real. This is layton. Its all a hoax" then when I was just starting to believe it, they show future luke's plot. "damn, I guess I was right from the beginning" Then the ending with Claire "OK IM DONE JUST STAHP DX"
same with the "solved" stamps on mysteries that weren't solved lol
ughhh I wish these games would never end
When is that app coming out in the US? I just realized that its probably not free XD
What app?
Fantastic line in Last Specter (no spoilers, when you touch an object to get commentary):
Emmy: I stepped on a nut!
Luke: I stepped on a bolt!
Professor Layton: Oh dear. I seem to have stepped on a hexagonal spanner.
And there's one in either Last Specter or Miracle Mask where you touch a candle three times.
Luke: Hot!
Luke: Hot! Hot!
Luke: Hot! Hot! Hot!
Emmy: I don't think you should touch that, Luke...
I posted both those on my tumblr (cant stop the advertising) :D
Theyre both from Last specter, though the second one might be in the Miracle Mask too since its slightly different wording:

That's probably what I was thinking of, maybe it's a different one that Emmy says something.
There is one in Miracle Mask where there's a mirror in the hotel room--
Luke: Professor, your star apprentice is reflected in the mirror!
Emmy: Professor, your star assistant is reflected in the mirror!
Layton: Oh! I spy a refined gentleman reflected in the mirror!
I swear, the interactions between them really make exploring the towns 10 times more fun.

Oh that. I doubt it'll be localized.
But its his son :<
If its localized for the 3DS, I will literally cry
I hope it isn't localized. Layton having a son is stupid and I like to pretend they never made that a thing.
Well, it would mean more Layton games. As long as he's not dead. Oh my god what if hes dead. Or what if, with some crazy turn of events SPOILERS the son is somehow Claire's baby? ::) Thats the only thing I would approve of. Or if hes adopted or something, and Layton grew him to be a true gentleman

hey you guys seen the professor layton movie? the eternal diva or something...
You can actually watched it on youtube XD
I have it on DVD, much higher quality.
And the trailers on the DVD are for the games and it shows their cutscenes in super high quality
It's the ultimate amazement
WOW! lucky!!!!
I think the movie comes after the last specter...if I can remember
Yep.
I want to draw Layton but I dont know whattttthis is troubling
Haha thought so, but I thought it was really clever how they show the puzzles the same way as the games and you can see how layton and the other 2 solve them. :D

My friend's attempt of Prof. Layton and Luke at the SMASH festival in sydney! It was the place where we cosplay has layton and Luke. XD
A young adult that we met drew emmy. Quite good XD
Quote from: Bubbles7689 on January 20, 2013, 09:46:25 PMI want to draw Layton but I dont know whattttthis is troubling
Hmmm. Draw Anton-- Wait you did. Draw Anton and Sophia? They're my favorite characters. Actually, anything from Diabolical Box would be awesome.
Hmm.. I gotta make something with Sammy in it too XD
I wish I could figure out the drawing style of the games so my art looks less Pokemon and more Layton. I think its no shadows with hand-inked lines, but idk
I just watched the ending of The Last Specter again,
SPOILERS
When Arianna threw the rock at Loosha and said "I don't want to be your friend anymore!" I lost it. It was sad enough the first time, but now I know the whole reason she was trying to break the dam down and it hurts TT^TT
Don't remind of Last Specter's ending. That hurt. ;A;
D: That was such an ending for Last Specter! I didnt expect any of that to happen!
I loved Curious Village's ending!
I'm not really sure if this is a spoiler or not due to my lack of knowledge about future (no pun intended) games in the series, but I have a question:
There was this weird explorer guy (I forget his name) that appeared in a few scenes towards the end of Curious Village, but he didn't seem to play any role in the plot. Is he significant in later games?
PAVEL
<3
and no we're not answering any questions :P
GRAAAAAHH, fine.
Quote from: blueflower999 on January 23, 2013, 02:11:25 PMGRAAAAAHH
Not what I took it from, but I noticed on my most recent playthrough that Pauly says that too
Pauly was amusing. XD
Pauley creeped me out, if he's the one I'm thinking of. He didnt really have any memorable lines/plot signifigance (though Ibrealy remember this game :P)
Also, I'm having a problem. Im trying to find my absolute favorite version of Layton's theme (blue, no peeking at things to come!) and I can't :( I know its a live version, and it wouldn't be from Miracle Mask since I haven't listened to those yet. Live also includes Eternal Diva. I'm positive that its not his live theme from Curious Village, nor Cold Open from Eternal Diva. What other remakes of his theme are there? The only way I can really explain it is that it has a very "emotional" violin
...anything from Unwound Future?
Are there any live versions of it on that game? I know its live. I just checked a few others, and its not The Great Escape from Eternal Diva either
Try the "Press Start" symphony version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXl18rKj3fA
It starts after the puzzle theme, it's very good.
Nope :( I've heard the song before, but now I can't find it again. I tried the Ace attourney crossover one too. Its a single violin playing the main tune (along with the accordian), and it just uses dynamics and other techniques really well I guess. Specifically, I remember for one powerful note played on the violin (a really high one), but I doubt thats much help :P
If it isn't "Record of Memories" (second half) then look at the other main themes from the games. They're quite similar, and that's all the versions of the theme beside "The Mystery Explained" (basically a carbon copy of Cold Open and The Great Escape).
My favorite is the original, personally.
AHHH IT WAS THE ORIGINAL (but the live version)
I CAN NOW BE COMPLETE
I love the curious village live version, but I thought you said that wasn't it XD
I could've sworn it wasn't :P When the song repeats it doesnt have the same emotion so maybe that got me confused
I love when the flute takes the main melody. Haha.

Blue don't look this guy up
Holy crap the arranged Layton music in Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney is just flawless. Amazing ones:
"About Town"
"A Calm Afternoon"
"More Puzzles"
"The Town's Past"
"Quiet Moments"
"The Professor's Deductions"
"Misgivings" <--sadly the only one from Miracle Mask :( Probably because they use the same soundfonts.
Also, I remember finding this out a couple years ago and having my mind blown:
In the North American games, Layton, Chelmey, and Don Paolo are all voiced by the same person. The guy also voices Layton in the European games. And btw, he's American.
DDD:::: he's a legend XD
Also the lady who voices Luke in the North American dubs also does Flora, Katia, Sophia, Celeste, Puzzlette, Emmy, Arianna, Tony, and Angela XD
SO MANY
Sophia had a voice? XD
I can kinda see Flora, Arianna and Puzzlette being the same person, but I'm usually better with recognizing voice actors D:
EDIT: Oh and you forgot Celeste ::)
Well I definitely recognized Luke, Flora, and Emmy as having the same voice actors, as well as Celeste and Angela, but I kind of missed the others lol
Sorry to bring this back up, but...

I like the sound of that.
We could make it a parody title topic in the games section, and we just replace titles with silly things. Not just that. It can work...
Lol oh wow XD I can see that actually....
What the heck, Bubbles. That puzzle has EVERYTHING to do with looking at a keyboard. :P
Nuh uh :P was the answer what I said it was?
The text me one? Yeah it's figured out by looking at a keyboard.
So I was just wondering how far I've gotten in Miracle Mask. I'm in the Reunion Hotel (Thats what its called, right?) and I'm about to go into the last room. Do you think if I start it now I could finish it tonight?
Reunion Inn, but close enough. Yes, you definitely can, but you'll probably be playing for at least an hour (that's my estimate, I don't remember exactly). Also make sure tissues are nearby, it's pretty moving.
Oh, I forgot it was Inn. An hour is fine :3
So Miracle Mask
Spoilers (obviously ::))
First of all, DAWWWWW. For many reasons too. I predicted literally everything once I realized that Henry wasnt the Masked Gentleman. But what I dont get is that after 18 years of Hershel living with the guilt of letting his friend die, he just leaves? After the ending they all just got in the Latonmobile and left Monte d'Or. Wouldn't he spend a little time with his friend? Sure, he could've and they just skipped time to when they left, but still.
Flying Masked Gentleman? They explained everything but left that hanging. Also, how did Randall get so dark skinned? At first I thought it was from 18 years of living in the desert, but in the flashbacks they showed him like that a month or so after he was found by the village. Also Henry and Angela were the same tone while they were living in Monte d'Or the whole time.
Yes, I cried. But if I has to rank the series on which games made me cry the most, this would be at the bottom, just above Curious Village. It was really sweet, but the only times I cried was a tear or two at the flashback with the robot and in the credits when they showed the artwork of Dalston crying when he saw Randall. How could you not cry at that :3
Also now I finally understand the Azran legacies trailers :DD

Spoliers...YESS XDWell yeah...that's why I thought MM wasn't really completed yet. I also thought it was strange when layton just left. Like whaat? XD I would like...stay with him for a few days or even months! But remember the credits? When they show you the pictures of the past and now the future...They did show how they were spending time together after the case was solved and how the cut randell's hair back to it's original style. So i assumed that went for a few days....The flying part...I assume it was like some stunt thing...LOL

Oh, to answer some of your comments if you want...
Spoiler
Normally at the end of these games they show that takes places after the game in the credits pictures.
(Like when the Professor was having tea with everyone, and that was after Randall's haircut. Who knows how long they were there.))
As for the Masked Gentleman flying... well, they found a way to make people look like they were floating,
I think something close to that was done. (it would also explain how he disappeared.)
As for Randall having dark skin, I recall a picture (in the top secret menu) of the village Randall lives in after falling,
explained that the people there spent a lot of time outside working. (Which means a lot of sun time.)
While Henry and Angela probably spent most of their time indoors, in the ruins, or/and outside at night.
Though I did noticed in the credits Randall's skin does get much lighter after or before his haircut.
(I just noticed we got this awesome Spoiler button now! Thanks!) :))

Me trying to get my parents to watch Eternal Diva with me:

Me: Its a beautiful movie.
Parents: oh now i really want to watch it
Me: It made me cry. Itll make DAD cry. And he'll hug me afterwards
Mom: does a dad's daughter die or something?
Me:.....no
I actually think we might watch it though :D
you: ....no
BAHAHAHA XD
watch it with them! But it's definitely best for people who have played Layton and can get all the references.
Try to spot:
Beluga
Babette
The Elysian Box
Spring
Cogg
I think there's more but can't remember :/
I hope they like it!
I need to rewatch it, because I only spotted the Elysian Box in there...
Basically whenever there's a scene with a ton of extras just pause it and look at the references XD
But man I hope I didnt give away anything ::)
Theyre tied between watching that with me or the Music Man with my little sister. Or, they claim to be "tied-so-oh-maybe-give-us-another-week-or-month-or-year-to-decide-which"
Why not both? I mean watch 'em both over the weekend?

So apparently I have a close friend who's a Layton and Ace Attorney fan, and she has an older brother that teaches middle school math. He makes his students solve a Layton puzzle at the beginning of every period. :o

If anyone cares the Layton I played and didn't like was Last Specter.
People say that it's the worst Layton so that might mean something.
...really? I enjoyed Last Specter...
I liked the Last Specter as well,
I am not really sure what is to dislike.
Well firstly he didn't play the whole thing. But aside from that, while Last Specter's setting is probably the loveliest, prettiest of the games and the gameplay is the most polished of all the Nintendo DS titles, its plot is lacking in terms of realism and development, seeming more like a simple fairy tale than a complex mystery.
Seriously, some parts of the plot had me a bit annoyed:

It's one thing to slip Luke's talking to animals in as an inside joke, but it's quite another to have it be a major plot point. I found it a bit too ridiculous, even for this series. While the plot was gripping, its conclusion (save for the death of Loosha) just wasn't as satisfying as previous (and later) installments. I think the game's best moment didn't come until the introduction of Descole, which was just great. Up to that, it was Laytonesque without being very complicated.
Oh ok,
that does makes sense.
I can officially say that I know all the Japanese lyrics to the ending theme from Unwound Future and can sing along 8)
I still have no idea what they mean though
but everyone knows that diabolical box's ending theme is better
No seriously that's really cool! I only know the lyrics to the ending of Diabolical Box and Eternal Diva (Unwound Future's is SO FREAKING LONG! I'm impressed)
Eternal Diva is seven minutes long O_O What are you talking about
And I had to type them out in the way that I heard them, so I have a whole document filled with random non-words XD. I was going to do Iris next though
^but in eternal diva's, the first two and a half minutes are just her singing with no lyrics. And the last minute or so is only instrumental.
Still. Thats alot XD
edit: I like at the 4 min mark how it sounds like shes saying "hollywood" :3 (not really)
AHH WAIT
Before when I said that I heard children in Paxmaveiti, I WASNT CRAZY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=9As_RFwFKyM#t=172s
I didnt put the player in because I linked it directly to the part of the song where it happens. Its more of the common sounds of a park, but at least I know I wasnt crazy :P
So apparently there was supposed to be "dark" versions of Layton and Pheonix in their crossover game, BUT IT NEVER MADE IT THROUGH
LOOK AT THESE

dark layton oh my goodness
why can't this be a real thing
Has anyone else noticed the multiple examples of extremely flawed logic displayed in Eternal Diva?
for example, Layton says that the opera is based off of the legend of the eternal kingdom of ambrosia, yet he also states hat their only knowledge of the kingdom comes from the seal! How much can you learn just from that one little piece of stone??
It was probably a legend based on that. Word of mouth. It's not actual history--it's kind of like how we make up legends about Atlantis.
YEAH KMAN DONT SPEAK AGAINST LAYTON
But I dont think Layton considered the story "knowledge" of the Ambrosia civilization because it was pretty farfetched, with living forever and all that stuff
So we watched the movie!
Spoiler
...well, sort of. My dad fell asleep within the first 5 minutes, so it was just my mom and sister then. At the end, my sister kept asking things like "WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO GO. WHERES DEENA". And they both conplained about it being confusing. When I asked my mom which parts were confusing, she said "The parts when I had my eyes closed". She secretly liked it though ;)
So yeah. Also, another thing I noticed. Whistler said that he wrote the opera, so does that mean he wrote the music or the story, or both? If he wrote the story, the whole thing could just be made up as an excuse for the "eternal life" that Ambrosia was said to have.
I feel like I always double post here :P
Has anyone heard the ending song for Azran Legacies yet? I promised myself I wouldnt spoil anything, but the Japanese lyrics arent in the English versions anyway so I decided it was ok
im literally crying, and if this is just the ending song i dont think i can handle the actual game
I haven't heard and I'm resisting temptation ugh
do itttt
Im arranging it right now :3 Its basically piano and violin, which is my absolute favorite paring ever
But I don't wanna spoil any of the game 'cept what I saw from the trailers...
Unless you understand japanese, I dont see how it could spoil you. The song you hear when you finish it will be different but familiar in a cute sort of way. At least I hope so :P
Theres no going back for me, but I dont feel like I ruined anything, just fully realized the fact that this game will probably be sadder than Unwound Future
But will it be sadder than mother 3? that is the true question.
I think she's talking about spoiling the MUSIC. Which is why I won't be listening to it.
Exactly. I can't ruin anything for Azran Legacies. If this is Latyon's last game, I need it to be genuine.
Now I feel like I'm...cheating or something :-\ I promise that's all I'm spoiling. I even downloaded Chrome so I could download Tumblr Savior to blacklist all the spoiler tags :P
I've finally started playing this series.
Conclusion: I suck at puzzles.
Yes, PL has really hard puzzles sometimes. But it's still fun!
:D More people to Layton with
:D Exactly! I'm part of a Layton group on skype and they're all such wonderful people.

Conclusion: I suck at puzzles.
Haha I remember the times when I was playing the first Layton with my friend and we used to get really scared if we got the puzzle wrong. ;D
I felt like an idiot when I played Layton for the first time and missed that puzzle about the mouse's reproduction rate.
Oh gosh, I remember that one. XD
Quote from: SlowPokemon on March 03, 2013, 06:19:42 AMI felt like an idiot when I played Layton for the first time and missed that puzzle about the mouse's reproduction rate.
Story time! I spent like, 10-15 minutes trying to figure it out and do math unless I looked it up and realized I didn't read between the lines enough.
Oh god, I was so angry.
I remember that one :3
Is there a website like Serebii where you can get reliable information fast but for Layton news? I want to know exactly when PLvsAA or Azran Legacies gets a release date
...good question. I really don't know. I just want Azran ugh
Well the good news is that Azran Legacies is as good as guaranteed. Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney? Maybe not.
I have high hopes that both will. Maybe that way they could continue to release one per year. Localizations are seemingly faster and faster with Nintendo.
I'll be so heartbroken if we don't get PL vs AA, though...
OMG that mouse reproduction one really trolled my friend and I XD
I feel as if the reason why I don't remeber this notorious mouse puzzle is because I might have gotten it my first try, resulting in little stress that you all seem to be suffering from.
I honestly don't remember this one. Can someone post a picture or something to refresh my memory?

scroll a bit down
So today as I was on the bus ride to school, I looked outside the window and saw a street called "Barton Run". So being myself, I immediately thought of Chelmey yelling at Barton for something he did wrong, and Barton hustling away (in that cute little backwards-leaning run I imagine he does).
We kept driving when I saw a shop called "Shrayder's Barber". Of course Dr. Schrader owns a barber shop
Just when I thought my day couldn't get any better, I passed a place called "Dove's Funeral Home". Not only was it Dove, but it was a FUNERAL HOME
I cant tell if Layton really is everywhere or I am slowly being overtaken by these games
So I've finally introduced this series to myself. I've now played the first three and the Lost Future is surely the best so far. I like how original the games' music is although I usually don't like accordion at all. Now gotta get the fourth game, I haven't heard that much good stuff about it but let's see...
I was going to compare PL to Ace Attorney but I came to conclusion that they're not that comparable after all.
Last Specter wasn't that bad... it had the best music in the series IMO. That opening theme, man.
^and the Misthallery theme <333
Gary, Last Specter had the best gameplay of the NDS entries, but the story is the worst of the lot. Still, it's Layton, worst doesn't mean bad.
And the toy train minigame theme!! But god, yes, Misthallery's music...
The town themes are all great, I really love Monte d'Or's themes too.
I look at Last Specter like I do Twilight Princess. When I play it its not overly amazing (like UF) but listening to the music and thinking about the story and everything else makes me really love it
Spoiler
plus loosha
Spoiler
Tbh I didn't feel any connection to loosha
Spoiler
:o But Loosha! When Arianna threw the rock my heart broke
Spoiler
i cried when loosha died ._. that hurt, man. a lot.
I love it when I see post after post of just spoiler tags. It's an entire conversation that I can't read. XD
Anyway, I really like this song:

Have you heard the live version on the album? It's wonderful. Look it up if you haven't ^^

Ahh, Barton. I hope he comes back in future games. He was amusing.
He's great in Unwound Future.
On a side note, the official CD album for Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney has just been released. At three discs, 93 tracks, it's gorgeous and everyone should find it.

The YouTube Channel GilvaSunner has it already loaded onto his channel, and from listening to a few of the tracks, it's incredible. It's on my booty list. (If ya know what I mean ;))

I'll take a listen later on... since we'll probably never get the game here... :C I'm losing hope
I wonder what would happen if someone decided to make a Professor Layton/Doctor Who crossover live-action movie...?
;)
I really want to play Iris on the piano, but the only website I can find it on is in Japanese. IT'S SUCH A GOOD SONG WHY CAN'T I PLAY YOU
^What do you mean its in Japanese? Isn't it still sheet music?
I'll just leave this here

I,m pretty sure they're waiting to see how AA5 will do here. Hopefully it sells enough copies to make Capcom release AA vs. PL in NA.
Yeah I agree.
Everyone download it from the eShop!!! $20 is not a bad price at all.
As of today, Level-5's Professor Layton spinoff, "Layton Brothers: Mystery Room," is available on the US App Store for iPhone, iPod, and iPad. I usually dislike spinoffs, but hey it's Professor Layton for crying out loud and it is made by Level-5.
The app is free, but part of the game does require purchasing. I think I read that total, the in-app purchases are about $5 which isn't bad. I hope this game is great.

Oh my god
I just finished the last case (I bought the extra ones) and the PLOT TWISTS
im still crying this game was great

Just in case someone is interested.
UGH I WANT IT
Well, me too! But can't afford it atm... :'(
I'm fucking crying why is it so expensive... Lets agree that if anyone buys this, they scan for us. I will literally buy you something if someone does that.
I'm going to buy that book. I'll scan it for you guys.

Shadowkirby..just don't make promises you won't keep.
I finished Layton Brothers: Mystery Room 2 days ago.
It was B-E-A-UTIFUL! >< I want more mystery case files :<
Did you buy all the extra cases too? The way the last one ended leaves it open for more cases or even a sequel.
But yeah it was amazing, especially since I wasn't really expecting much.
Yeah...I think the last one opens for another sequel or case files.
Knowing Level 5 who is very good at that :p
Yeah I bought files 3-9
Tbh I didn't like the first two cases enough to buy the other ones. It's okay, but it's not Professor Layton.
Quote from: DonValentino on July 04, 2013, 08:55:22 AMhttp://otaku.com/products/36626
Just in case someone is interested.
I have translated the list of pieces in this book, based on the table of contents shown:
1. Theme of Professor Layton
2. Theme of the Diabolical Box
3. Theme of the Last Time Travel
4. Theme of the Devil's Flute
5. Theme of the Mask of Miracle
6. Theme of the Legacy of Supercivilization A
7. London 3
8. Walking in the Town*
The last one says "Walking in the Town ~ (Japanese stuff)" and I'm not quite sure what it means. As far as what those are in English:
1. Professor Layton's Theme
2. The Elysian Box Theme
3. The Unwound Future
4. The Last Specter's Theme
5. Mask of Miracles Theme
6. Unknown, but likely "The Azran Legacy Theme" or something similar
7. More London Streets
8. About Town (again, idk the second part)
Oh man, the Last Specter's Theme is my favorite. I'd love to learn that on piano one day...
I hope the sheets are identical to the songs. I bought the official Zelda one, and the songs had the basic tune in it but whoever arranged it added their own little flairs to the pieces. I just wanted to play the song I knew, and ended up just taking the sheets off of here instead :P
Well they're pieces, not songs (I know it sounds pretentious but music teachers will yell at you xD) and in addition that was published by Nintendo and this has a different publisher.
That site also has as a sample a page of the diabolical box theme, so you can play that and see how you like it. I would imagine they'd have to be decent arrangements.
Quote from: SlowPokemon on July 15, 2013, 07:24:48 AMTbh I didn't like the first two cases enough to buy the other ones. It's okay, but it's not Professor Layton.
Well...I thought the way of game play and novel suited very well to each other.
Yeah of course it's not Professor Layton...it's a murder case style ;)
"LAYTON 7 is a puzzle game for the new generation that follows in the footsteps of the PROFESSOR LAYTON series, which has now shipped over 15 million units worldwide. Players take on various character roles; you may be a taxi driver, a young boy, a dog, a fine lady, a philanthropist, an elderly man, or even a zombie. The player will earn points as they fulfill a given role. But, what is the role of these characters? And what is the greater meaning of these roles to begin with? The latest title in the LAYTON series is shrouded in mystery and is about to begin! The game is being developed for Nintendo 3DS and iOS / Android devices as part of our UNIPLAY line-up. Release date has yet to be determined."

Meh... I'm not as excited as I imagined. New Layton games are not a big announcement for me anymore. Still, I'm eager to see what they will do with the series after the two trilogies.
EDIT: A zombie. WTF (http://nintendoeverything.com/layton-7-screenshotsart/)
...I don't know what to think about this.
It'll probably be more like Mystery Room :P but hey it's bound to at least be good if not as good as the first seven games.
Last Specter had a gorgeous ending. Not quite Diabolical Box or Unwound Future, but better than Curious Village, and I thought that it was justified because it was the first game in the trilogy and they put a ton of effort into the puzzles and London Life. I'm impressed.
Fun Fact, Last Specter was the game I was severely underwhelmed by.
That's because it's the 4th game in the series and you didn't play through it until the end.
It still made me cry, plus it introduced one of my favorite characters (Descole)
Jean Descole seems really interesting, curious to find out what his connection to Layton is.
Although to be honest I think Grosky is going to end up being my favorite prequel trilogy character XD
Oh, hes my number two

Yaaaaay! :D
Descole and Grosky are both awesome characters, but you forgot the best one:
Spoiler
Aldus
I like Goosey more actually XD
Is he in Miracle Mask?
Nooo it's so sad. Only Aldus and Hanna as far as NPCs go, I think.
Fun fact: only the North American and Japanese versions have London Life. Ironically, London doesn't get London Life.
Where do I find Don Paolo in London Life?
You need to advance the story quite a bit before he shows up I believe.
preordered Azran Legacy today.
It's coming out on the 7th of Nov in Australia :D
DAFUQ NINTENDO IT BETTER BE HERE SOON
I want Azran legacies already... even if it'll destroy my heart.
I don't have money for this ;_;
I will find money for Azran legacy no matter what lol
XD In aus, it's about...$60 aus...
Okay, so next semester in my video productions class, I've decided that I'm going to make a Professor Layton film, with me being the Professor, and a freshman being Luke (he'll do just fine for the part, I'm honestly more worried about the costume than casting), but I'm having a hard time thinking of a cool plot to work with as we are a little restricted with shooting locations and props. Since we're really only allowed to shoot at school, do any of you have some cool suggestions of plots that I could elaborate into a short film? If it goes well, I'll post it here on the thread.
Thank you!!
Ohh! How exciting! :D
hmmm...there are not plots popping up in my head atm...
bump!
i got it!! :D I picked up Azran Legacy!!! :DDDD
I havent' touched it yet coz I got an instrument exam coming up next tue...=_= But imma play on it tonight! >:D
Lucky! It doesn't come out in the US until 2014...
wow really?! unluckyyy :<
Serves you right for that whole PMD thing.

No we already got Dream Team late too, plus PMD was not a good game so I am still not happy about this -.-
It's not about PMD being that good, it's about what my feelings were when I had to wait to play a new PMD game :(

Professor Layton

Stephen Fry

Now you know how it feels.
Ahaha thanks Clanker, but some of those are a bit...extreme for what I had in mind.
Instead, I've come up with a basic plot summary. Tell me What you think, and if you have any suggestions following this basic outline, go ahead and shoot me a pm or just post below. Considering the Professor Layton series as a whole, almost nothing is out of the question plot wise, it's probability wise (considering it's for school, so nothing too extreme like Mobile Fortresses or anything) that is where my concern lies.
"Professor Layton has come to America to visit his apprentice, Luke Triton, for Christmas, however something is afoot in Luke's new boarding school. Teachers have gone missing, students are acting strangely, and Luke's substitute teacher is a bit...eccentric. When a sudden snowstorm puts the school into lockdown, and rumors of a magical snow stone spread, can Luke and the Professor get to the bottom of this mystery before they're out in the snowbank?"
Thanks again, and I hope this becomes reality next semester!

My guess is that it won't stay this price for long, Waddle. It's just a pre-release thing.
That's like 40% off of the European price. Wait, nvm, the dollars are worth less than euros
We have no sexy discounts.
Oohh, I should just pre-order it then. Beats having to take a trip to Gamestop.

I would like to join you with that
Whoa, I'm surprised the Professor Layton fans on here haven't gone crazy over Azran Legacy yet. I 100%ed the game a couple days ago (even finding every hint coin for the first time!) so I'll be posting a review in my thread soon :) It is a fantastic game and everyone should play it.
As far as music goes... is anyone else just totally hypnotized by the music in Kodh? Absolutely beautiful, especially when the accordions kick in.
I've barely had any time to play it and its driving me crazy
Spoiler
iirc I've gotten two eggs, one from the mushroom place and the other from the paradise island
No spoilers for Bubbles here, just for everyone else's sake!
Spoiler
San Grio was basically the best location in the game for me. I'm not sure why but I just found the scenery beautiful and the little story about the happy islanders was really really cute.
San Grio's got some of my favorite music. Gosh, it's beautiful. The game's music is amazing.

Okay, new poll coming soon.
Where's all the love for Don Paolo?! :'(
It was never a fair fight. Don Paolo is great, but there's no competition when paired with Descole
I finished Azran Legacy. Hoo boy... so many good, good things...
only read this if youve finished azran legacy
I'm at the top of the Obsidian Tower right now, just about to go into Bronev's room. Without any spoilerly or not details (just a simple yes or no) will I be able to finish the game in ~2-3 hours, or should I get a little bit further first? im planning on playing it tonight and crying myself to sleep lmao
Yeah, you have roughly two hours left. I'd allow yourself three though just in case.
My most recent cosplays, as Professor Hershel Layton and Luke Triton, respectively. I know not everything is perfect on one or the other, but I'm satisfied with the quality I have here.

wow that's pretty cool! :D hair styles as well! noticing the fringes xD
I miss cosplaying as Luke xD
Anyone playing PL VS PW too? I started it yesterday and it's way better than I expected! I never tried a Phoenix Wright game, but after playing the first chapter I think I might give Nick a try. :J
Ace Attorney is actually better than Professor Layton, much as I love them both. Definitely try the series out.
So I played a bit of mystery room at the athletics carnival today.
Consider me a fan of it.
Mystery Room is nowhere near the level of anything else in the series though

I loved that game. I want another sequel actually. It was very cleverly done and the mysteries just got better and better
Descole beat Don Paolo 6 to 2, and it's time for a new poll.
My favorite towns of this game are Froenborg, Kodh, and San Grio, so I'll vote for one of those! ^^
San Grio's got the best music out of them all... well no, that's hard to say, all the music is excellent. But San Grio is beautiful.
Yeah! That was my vote too. I only added The Nest on a whim and someone actually voted for it :o
Hoogland is a close second, though.

I haven't played azran legacy in a while so I literally had to go search them up again xD
Yoooooooo Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is finally coming to America tomorrow!
I have it preordered so I most likely won't get it until next week, and even so I'm probably going to wait to play it until I've played Danganronpa 2 (I have a friend who is just absolutely adamant about talking about it with me).
This game looks sweet though! I can't wait to play it!
I think the music in it is one of the best ones in a 3DS game yet and the story is pretty fantastically twisty as well, although a little disappointingly short(or more like I'd die for more content)!
But god the music just made the game for me.

Heh well there are six other layton games and six other ace attorney games so you've got a lot of content ahead of you xD even though you've played some of the Layton ones I think
Edit: also wow that puzzle theme is nice. Sounds a bit like a mix of the puzzle themes from Miracle Mask and Azran Legacy

Heh...
^ ha...i see what u did there (smirk)
I GOT TO THE VERY LAST EVIDENCE PRESENTATION OF THE CHAPTER 2 TRIAL OF LAYTON VS WRIGHT
AND I LOST ALL MY HEALTH
AND I FORGOT THIS ISNT DUAL DESTINIES SO I HAVE TO REPLAY FROM THE LAST TIME I SAVED
IE THE TRIAL CHECKPOINT
I LOST TWO HOURS OF TRIAL SOBS WHY DIDNT I SAVE
Thank God you can skip text in this game unlike most Ace Attorney ones because some similar things (albeit much less time wasted) things have happened to me.
Actually I replayed it letting the text just play out. It feels like it works so much better and it was so entertaining I didn't mind playing it twice xD
I actually hate speeding up text in any game, even Pokémon. Just a pet peeve.
Lol, whenever I present correct evidence...I save xD
So, how good is this series? :P If I'm interested, what should I start with/is there a good demo?
Well, my motto is always to start from the beginning (Professor Layton and the Curious Village for DS), but it's true that you won't really miss anything if you start with the 3DS games. The two 3DS Professor Layton games are the 5th game (Miracle Mask) and the 6th game (Azran Legacy), and I'd recommend getting Miracle Mask if you'd like to try it out. Azran Legacy is good too but if you haven't played Miracle Mask you likely won't understand a large part of the story.
The other option is to get Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney, since you know you like Ace Attorney and that can at least introduce you to the Layton style to see if you like it. That one's also $10 cheaper than the others.
As far as is the series good, I mean it's my personal favorite video game series. I can't say that they'd be good for everyone (Olimar12345 played the first game and hated it), but the entire series has stood the test of time for me and I've played them all several times.
Are there demos on the eshop?
Hmm, I don't think so? I'm not sure.
As far as what the series is, though, they all follow some sort of simple formula: Layton gets a letter from an old acquaintance, he goes with his apprentice Luke (and depending on the game, his assistant Emmy) to visit the town this acquaintance lives in, and proceeds to work to solve all the mysteries the town holds. There are also a lot of random NPCs milling around that will throw puzzles at you, which can be anything from a maze to navigate to a math problem to a logic problem.
The stories are usually really entertaining even though the endings are always totally out of left field and usually completely unguessable. Oh, also, you know those anime cutscenes that they use every so often in Dual Destinies? Layton did that first, and they're about twice as frequent as they are in Dual Destinies.
If you like puzzle games, I don't think there's a better one than this just because it offers so much variety.
Also, the music is really, really amazing.
heck yeah

I never realized this until just now. It's true in EVERY GAME. Except Vs. Ace Attorney
EDIT: NO, I'M WRONG, EVEN THEN.

Weirdly, the only exception is in the very first game, Curious Village. Layton's never met Dahlia before.
yoooooo I made this thread three years ago today
Wow! :D Awesome sauce!
And I finished PL VS PW! :D It 'twas a great game! But I didn't cry like other professor layton games though (yes I'll admit...i cried in every single PL game except curious village xD)

Really goooooooooood~
It might be best to start with the chronological order, because the more modern and detailed 3DS games are
really alluring and easier to acquire imo, and if you decide that you like the series, you could continue on to the DS era. Downside of this is that you have to play at least 5 other games until you get to Unwound Future, which has probably one of the most interesting and heart-crushing stories.
Professor Layton and the Last Specter (DS, you should watch
Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva) after that, it's a nice movie!)
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask (3DS)
Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy (3DS)
Professor Layton and the Curious Village (DS)
Professor Layton and Pandora's Box/the Diabolical Box (DS)
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (DS)
PLvsAA goes between Curious Village/Diabolical Box or Diabolical Box/Unwound Future, not sure. But it's still playable imo at any point as it's a spin-off.
Honestly just play them whatever order you want as long as Miracle Mask comes before Azran Legacy. I'd still recommend starting with the oldest game if you can but it's not something to get worked up about.
Also waddle Last Specter is definitely DS not 3DS.
derp for some reason I had a thought in my head that the prequel era was 3DS era

I feel like I'm the only person who cried in Curious Village lol
The only game I didn't cry at was Miracle Mask, actually.
PLvsAA and Miracle Mask made me tear up a little bit.

Quote from: SlowPokemon on September 14, 2014, 11:32:54 AMYou have no heart
I mean, it was touching, but I didn't cry. Mostly because something about the ending bothered me :P
Spoiler
I felt like Layton got completely shafted at the end, I know Henry and Angela had much importance to Randall, and it was more focused on them, but Layton shared the burden of all that trauma for years and never got to come to terms with it I felt like? If he and Randall had more a meaningful reunion in the end I might have cried...
truuuue okay I feel that but
Spoiler
When you realize that the game isn't about Layton and Randall as much as it is Henry and Randall then the game becomes so much more beautiful. We have this tendency to put layton and the center of everything because he's the protag, but it was actually Henry's reunion with Randall that got me to cry. And interestingly that's the only game of the series that makes me cry every time I play it.
Spoiler
I'll give the game that, but I dunno, I feel like Layton still burdens a lot of guilt that needs to be nullified... I guess I just feel bad for how shitty it made his life for a while that it needed some closure.
Spoiler
I've never cried as the result of a Layton game.

Sigh...my brain is exhausted.
Never before has a Layton game made me do THAT. Ever. I hope you enjoyed that. I know I did.
Say what you want, Slow, but this is my absolute favorite of the Professor Layton Franchise.
Oh I adored the game. Blueflower is the one who didn't care for it. In regard to the spoilers you're talking about:
Spoiler
I HAVE BEEN GUESSING MASS HYPNOSIS AS THE SOLUTION FOR EVERY GAME SINCE DIABOLICAL BOX AND THEY DID IT THEY FINALLY DID I WILL BE ABSOLUTELY FINE IF THEY NEVER MAKE ANY MORE GAMES BECAUSE THEY FINALLY DID MASS HYPNOSIS.
And yeah it's like the game that just won't quit, it just keeps throwing curveballs and keeps going on long after you thought it would end xD Prepare yourself, because the second part of the epilogue is even better than the first part and it might be the first Layton game to make you tear up.

Ugh. Now I have to play it tonight. I'm at a comedy stand up thing right now, so I'll do it when I get home.
It is the weakest Layton and the weakest Ace Attorney though. I still loved the hell out of it. What Layton games did you think weren't better than it? xD
kman why are you not fangirling about the ending here don't leave me hanging

Oh, I beat PL vs AA! We can talk about the ending.
This is just sort of a random tidbit that doesn't have much to do with anything, but I thought I'd point out that today marks two years since Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask was released outside of Japan! I bought it on release day, and I have a weirdly specific memory of playing it for the first time. That was back when I still had a normal-sized Nintendo 3DS, so I got to re-experience it totally on my XL the following summer which was a lot of fun.
Guys. What if I told you that one of my friends called Professer Layton Professer Gayton?
I wouldn't give a shit.

Every puzzle has an answer. And that answer is glitter! :DDD
Layton looks like the type of game I'd be interested in but I don't know if it's worth retail price
It's definitely worth retail price.
Dude if you don't want to pay for a newer one, just track down a used copy of one of the DS games (Curious Village and Last Specter are both good starting points). You can get the DS cards pretty cheap and the second and third games are only like $15ish for even a brand new copy.
Okay. I guess I'll look for Curious Village and see if I like it :D
Yeah!! But if you don't, just don't make the mistake of getting any of the other ones haha. It's like Pokemon in that every entry is basically the same.

Level-5 will announce multiple titles on April 7th including, Yokai Watch 3, Fantasy Life 2, and the next instalment in the Professor Layton series.
IM HYPERVENTILATING IM GOING TO DIE BYE
IT'S HAPPENING
I just told my girlfriend and now I'm worried that she's planning to steal my 3DS lol
um but you're lying?? holy SHIT
Isn't this just Layton 7 though? That weird game that doesn't star Layton and we don't really know anything else about?
I don't freakin' care if it's Layton 7. If it has the Professor Layton name on it, it will be incredible and nothing can make me lose faith in it. Level-5 has only ever shown me that they know exactly what they're doing.
I'll buy it either way of course but I'd like them to confirm if this is some weird spinoff or if we're getting a third trilogy.
True well I guess we'll find out on April 7 in any case. Since we haven't heard anything on Layton 7 since its announcement, I'm inclined to believe/hope that the game they're announcing may be different? Because of course I'd be clamoring for another trilogy most of all. I kind of doubt it though; I don't really see them going anywhere after Unwound Future in the timeline and they wrote themselves into a corner as far as doing anything prior to Last Specter. I have a track record of being wrong about game announcements though so we'll see.
OMG ANOTHER LAYTON GAME?!?!!? OMG IM GONNA DIE!!! DDDDDDDDD:
I can't wait!
Oh yeah, remember that new Layton game?
It's been announced for iOS.
Not the 3DS.
edit: And 6 new Yo-Kai Watch games for iOS and the 3DS
yeah! I'm pretty shocked...
but the president of Level 5 also said that he would like to bring Layton 7 to Wii U...which is a plus XD
The thing is, it's not even a Layton game.
It is. They announced this back in 2013, but they stated at the time that it wasn't going to feature the professor (Azran Legacy was confirmed as his last adventure). The thing I'm surprised about is that at the time they announced it for smart phones as well as 3DS, but I guess they gave up on the 3DS? Which is odd.
Its a ****ing card game. And I just happened to see a screenshot with a layton card. Idk why.
Nah the card thing is only one aspect of the game. It is a Layton game it is literally called Layton 7 and just because it isn't exactly the same formula or even similar doesn't mean it's not a Layton game?? This constant "different is bad and wrong" attitude from everyone in the gaming community is really gross how are you supposed to know this game is bad before you've even played it or seen more than a screenshot?

Because sticking names on unrelated product lines is completely acceptable.

Quote from: Maelstrom on April 08, 2015, 08:06:23 AMBecause sticking names on unrelated product lines is completely acceptable.
They're not "sticking names" on anything. This is developed by the same team that produced the original Professor Layton games. They're just doing something different with the series after they officially ended the old style of Layton games with Azran Legacy.
Why are you trying to argue is the real question you've never even played a layton game why do you care what they're giving us in the future if you don't even play what's already there
Quote from: Dude on April 08, 2015, 08:11:56 AMIt's a spinoff though, isn't it?
It's called Layton 7.
All I can think of is Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.
It may have been a decent game, but the branding killed it.
There's trying new things, then there's being able to recognize a shitty idea.
I'm with slow on this. So they're doing something different. Let them do what they want imo. Like Slow kinda said, Azran Legacy is supposed to be last original Layton game.
True I would be way more excited about another classic type of game, but I don't like shunning things from one of my favorite game developers before I even try them. All of Level-5's titles I've played are really good. And Olimar you don't even like layton lmao
Lol so? At least I completed the game and formed that opinion on my own d:

No what I mean is why would you care if it's different from the formula that you don't like xD
Oh, so that's what you meant. Well, I never said I really cared about any new iterations of the game, I was just commenting on their "sell-out" kind of idea for their new one. I wouldn't get it either way, but I can see why people who appreciate these games would not be enthusiastic about this change.
If there's effort put into the plot of the game I won't have a problem with it. But if it's some stupid card game with Layton slapped on it for no reason other than for marketing, I probably won't get it.
Yeah, if the card thing is the only aspect of it I'll be a little disappointed. Ive never seen card games as a type of puzzle since they rely heavily on chance
I'm hoping that this at least shows that they're becoming a little more interested in apps...like maybe they'll actually fix the Layton Bros crashing bug?
I finished replaying Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and as I've completed the game twice now I really feel like writing up a long analysis of what's good and bad about it. Kinda like a review, but maybe with spoilers. Is that something anyone would be interested in reading? Idk if that'll affect whether I write it, but I'll be more likely to if someone would like something like that.
I'd love to hear it! I never got the game, but I'd be interested to hear your thoughts and whether or not it's worth the buy ahead of other stuff on my list.
I would too. I'd just like to hear another fan's opinion of it.
Okay! I might try to do that this week.
I'd love to read it! Also, I need to know whether anyone else died laughing at the Phoenix Wright bakery thing. None of my friends seemed impressed when I showed it to them, but I thought it was amazing.
Yes, I would love to read it. I enjoyed that game a lot.
I'm very, very sorry about the length. (http://forum.ninsheetmusic.org/index.php?topic=4986.msg295475#msg295475) I had a lot to say.
Great review! I would have given the plot score lower though...coz it left so many questions unanswered...
But then again when I played it for the first time...I did always have this constant urge to just know more and reveal more of the truth.
I played the ending of Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box tonight (I replayed most of the game over the summer but stopped at the very end for some reason) and I
always tell myself I'm not going to cry, but for some reason, even though I've played it countless times before, even though I've been distanced from the story for well over two months, even though it's really not that sad to begin with, tonight I absolutely lost it and was just crying over the end of this game.
Spoiler
For some reason I'm always absolutely fine through everything until Sophia's letter to Anton--and then something about the way it's worded just gets me a little choked up, and by the time the credits are rolling I'm always crying. I really don't get it.
Diabolical box's ending is sad but not NEARLY as sad as Unwound Future's ending :'( :'( :'( :'(
That's the thing, Diabolical Box always makes me cry no matter how many times I've played it, while Unwound Future's ending made me cry the first few times I played it but doesn't so much anymore. The main reason I like the ending of Unwound Future (and Azran Legacy) is because it presents Layton as more of a human, flawed character, rather than the stoic near-perfect gentleman he's usually portrayed as.
Tbh though the one with the most tear-worthy ending, and one I can't remember getting through without crying, is Miracle Mask.
I haven't got around to the Prequel trilogy but one day I will. Ive been playing Persona 4 which is REALLY good.

The successor to the Professor Layton series, perhaps...? The phrase "sequel to a series" implies that it's an entire new series, not a new entry in an existing one. At least, that's my interpretation. It'd be nice to get some news about Professor Layton, since the way things look currently it's completely dead. Layton 7 hasn't gone over well with crowds so far, so they may be trying a more direct sequel to the series.
Oooh, I'd be down for a direct sequel.
Yoooo
I'd recommend everyone go watch the 43rd episode of Yo-Kai Watch

I'm so sad... Tago loved the Layton games and helped create so many puzzles for them.
Aww, I was hoping for Professor Layton: The Force Awakens... =P
I already know how most Layton games end even though I've never beaten one. I've been playing Lost/Unwound Future recently - do you think I'll still cry?
Speaking of which, that game's Japanese title, The Last Time Travel, doesn't really make grammatical sense. Is it an awkwardly literal translation?
I'm so excited for Lady Layton. I literally cannot wait.
^ For some reason, that didn't appear in my "Show new replies to your posts" list. =/
To answer your questions, I actually consider Unwound Future to be the weakest Professor Layton game by a pretty big margin. The pacing is all wrong and it has long stretches in the middle where not much is happening--also, the really awesome immersive atmosphere of the other games from St. Mystere, Folsense, Misthallery, and the others just isn't present in Future London. At least, it's not for me. I'm not sure which one I'd rank as the best, but I'd definitely put Unwound Future at the bottom.
Maybe you could write a plot analysis? I don't know why, but sometimes I like looking at criticisms for things I like, provided that the criticism is reasonable (I've seen people call Spirit Tracks an "abomination" in earnest), and said thing isn't the legendary lowest-ranked platformer.
I literally would like nothing more. I'll try to get to that sometime soon.
On an unrelated note, I saw someone on a YouTube comment saying the dog in Lady Layton should be voiced by Danny Devito.
omg!! I need a translation of this. This looks so cute
I don't really know if I like the idea of a talking dog but I'm holding off any negative comments until I fully know what this is bc I can't understand japanese

I saw someone comment that Lady Layton should be voiced by Danny DeVito.
I now declare that everyone in the English dub of any video game should be voiced by Danny DeVito.
The internet quietly rejoices.
I also saw someone else on a YouTube comment say that she should get a crossover with Apollo Justice.
I AM READY FOR LADY LAYTON
I can't wait, I'm really looking forward to it, I just hope the plot is good too.

I totally forgot about this, but I'll still do it at some point.
What's your favorite minigame in the Professor's Trunk? I skipped over Curious Village because one of them is just collecting gizmos, the second is just putting a single puzzle together, and the last is trying to decorate the inn rooms to the protagonists' likings--none of which are really any fun. Diabolical Box is where the minigames started to become more fun or at least require more thought, and my personal favorite (and possibly my favorite of the entire series) is the Tea Set. I can't think of anything more Professor Layton than collecting tea ingredients, brewing different blends of tea, and then serving them to people who are stressed out or sick.
The reason I love this game is the same reason I enjoy the Dress Up game from Azran Legacy--it's rooted in character and charm. This gives you an appreciated chance to learn a little bit about the NPCs (Diabolical Box features 36 different requests, no less) and interact with them more than the game would allow you to normally. The early Laytons are especially notorious for having tons of NPCs who only ever give you one puzzle or a couple lines of dialogue.
However, I expect the Hamster game will be more popular as it is the one that really caught my attention when I first played the game, and it's a tad more interactive as you have to figure out a potential layout that will allow the hamster to travel a lot of steps. I don't really expect the Camera game and its subtle "spot the difference" puzzles to be really popular.
What do you guys think?
I was thinking about Professor Layton earlier on today, and how it's considered one of the best series on DS even though it's for "casuals". Then it hit me - Nintendo had lost most of their third-party support in the fifth generation, and appealing to casual gamers got it back. Not to mention, since the DS was a handheld, it gave them more room to experiment without burning down the internet.
Layton isn't a casual game. It has something for everybody.
That's why I typed "casual" in quotation marks.
EDIT: Here's an interesting video.
Aww that's a cute video.
In what way?
It didn't have anything thought provoking or clever, it just lifted facts
I've 100%ed Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy. I was going to wait for the 3DS version, but it's coming out in October (aka the month that everything else I want is coming out). So I'll still get that version, but for now I've finished it on iOS after about 36 hours.
I'll write up a review, but more importantly, is anyone else playing? Have any thoughts?
The Nintendo 3DS version of Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy (launching October 6) will be playable only in 2D. I know I'm in the minority as someone who actually enjoys and uses the 3D feature, but I'm still heavily disappointed about this. The other Layton games used it SO WELL, and this means that one of my main reasons for purchasing both versions is now gone.
Not to mention, between Pokémon, Hey! Pikmin, and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions (and the release of the New Nintendo 2DS XL), it kind of feels like Nintendo are completely abandoning this feature and disappointing fans like me who actually love it. Idk does anyone else care about this?
