I looooooooved how Spyro looked in ANB and TEN, and this game too. But flying at any time was a relief, I remember in the first games (which I adore btw) you could hardly get off the ground without a minigame. THANK you for allowing us to fly! But poor Cynder. Her elements were all evil ._.

It's just kind of like an older Spyro in this game other than the design in the older games.

I hated Spyro's new design in this game aswell, but I never cried over it
