And Darth Vader! I think if anyone dies, it will be Ignitus, since he is old. Also, I am torn between saying it would be a Star Wars rip off, and saying it is appropriate since Malefor is voiced by the man behind the infamous Darth Vader, Space Lord of darkness and conquest.

As for how Spyro will defeat Malefor, I don't want it to be like Cynder or Gaul where you either wait for some thing stupid, like a weapon being stuck in the ground, or just attack relentlessly.

I have a bad feeling that one of them Spyro or Cynder and yeah..Maybe ignitus is going to die in this game... but that's right, he better not! but seriously spyro shall not die anyway! ;O

all though I don't want him to die, I have a strong feeling Ignitus is going to die. He's like a father figure to spyro and so it'll be really dramatic if he dies.

Who's going to take there time collecting everything for the final battle before passing the game? or. Rush through all of it to start collecting afther passing the game once?

Also, Ignitus said in ANB that his days for fighting were over, so I don't think he will intervene in the final battle. However, he and the other Guardians still have enough fight in them to escape the DM and hold off his army. You all saw Ignitus kicking ape @$$ in TEN! >smilie

smilie Just a thought...
Probably just stating the obvious but didn't everyone notice in the very first game in the very begging of it all. It was infact Ignitus who gaves us the intro to Spyro he narated it right up to were he and Spyro first met. Could it be that Ignitus's character is the story teller of TLS I dont see him dieing as who would tell the story... Ingitus is a perfect character to tell old tales being an old grand father like figure in the game it just makes sence that he is the story teller of Spyro "The Legend Of Spyro"... Just my thoughs on it you cant kill the narrator or story tellor rightsmilie

Just a note I may be going insane waiting for the game so if it does not make sence dont worry...
