OMG... for the last time, Spyro doesn't die! There is a Spyro movie yet to come out... AND I explained in a post long long ago on this site all the reasons why exactly it would make not make any sense for that to happen.

This is the last Spyro Game for Sierra, not the world. I think someone had mentioned to me before, that this is a "rebooted" version of the game.

I am soo looking forward to DotD does Cynder just follow you around and do some fighting or does she only appear if there is 2 controllers on?

I do hope it continues. I dont mean the trilogy, but continue from it, like in a series. Anyways how do we even know its gonna be a trilogy..... wait good point. But i still want it to carry on but bring back classic characters.... i prefer the new sparx and spyro. and it would just be saying 'lets go back, fire Ejjiah Wood and Bily West, and get the old guys back in! Oh! and get rid of Cynder!' that would be upsetting

=-O. oh no!!!!!!!!!!! if its spyro's final battle than that might mean spyro dies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope not. I would rather have spyro end at dotd alive than have him be killed!

Is there going to be a game after this one? I hope there is and I agree with Malefor coz they should continue where Dawn of the Dragon leaves off coz then it would be strange going back when Spyro was younger and confusing! smilie
