You and I are similar Spyrothedragon. Except I get very angry and upset when I am not left alone. People at my old shool and neighbourhood were very mean to me, and I never did anything!smiliesmilie

I think i'm nice to Spyrothedragon! I am also naive...

I think this is Spyro's mother.

This game is non linear, meaning that you can go back, possibly using a map, a revisit areas, and presumably cut scenes and boss battles.

That's a good idea Spyro LUVA, but what if u can't continue the game when you're finished? U know how the previous games would just reset u to the beginning of the game? What if this game does the same?

I have an idea. Since this game features Spyro's final confrontation with the DM the game should have a dark look, right? So I'm thinking that maybe after you defeat the DM the world becomes a sunnyer place. It would make sense, since the DM is the source of the darkness. Also, maybe the producers didn't want to give away surprises, so they released pics of the world at the end of the game, instead of the actual setting.

One more peice of evidence: During the demo, Spyro and Cynder were in an Enchanted Forest, which was really dark. This pic looks like the same place, but it is bright and sunny.
