Yeah, I think they'd die with the world too if it was destroyed?
There also were lots of people/species that weren't in those tunnels, weren't there (I'm not sure, as I haven't played this in a while)?

I don't think it sounds "gay" (I hate that insult), I think it sounded a bit selfish (had he not thought it would save Cynder) and cliche.
But that's cool if you like it! Like what you're going to like.

He still had the whole entire world to fight for (besides, what about Malefor?). And when he said it, he probably meant it, since Cynder seriously turned back. I doubt Spyro really planned that to happen.

If the world ended, wouldn't they die with it too?...
I think it sounded cliche, but that's my opinion.

Why Spyro said " you left me nothing to figth for" was becouse he was there alone to fight with Malefor and + Cynder, wich he wouldn't fight with. So he thought that all hope was lost. But what happened next smilie Cynder turned to normal Cynder and and they got another change to save the world.
What about Sparx and the others? They was alredy safe in the endless tunnels. So the answer for why Spyro said so was becouse he lost his hope... To me that didn't suond dumb or not either gay. It sound to me very cute.

I agree, that was a real wuss move.

And I also agree, SxC was quite predictable. It makes the game worse for me. I don't like the thought of them together.
But that's just me.

I agree, that was just pure stupidity saying he had nothing to fight for when he had the whole world and his best friend/brother and friends to fight for. He wussed out.

As for SxC, I've seen way better ships then that predictable mess. But okay, like what you like.

When he said "I have nothing left to fight for" I wanted to punch him in the face.
What about the guardians? Ignitus? Sparx? The world? There's plenty to fight for.

I don't think it's the best couple in fantasy. There's plenty other good ones that make sense, in my opinion.

not the best couple... but im pretty sure that he loved her, just didnt show it until, well, you guess it in the game.
But thats just my opinion. smilie

And Spyro and Cynder is a very cute couple. Best couple in the world / fantasy!

I just love the thought of Spyro and Cynder together! It makes the game's ending very happy. smilie

#9635 ZachHD 13:51:20 09/01/2012
To me, i think they love each other and i think that he did secretly love her, the signs are there but he shuld of sed i love you too or somat, like heres a nother sign at the scene in Malafors Lair, he turns cynder o bad and she says "why wont you fight back!", then he says, "cause ill have nothing to fight for" smilie.... I knw it souns gay but i think the lyrics are suppose to be Spyro to cynder, tht might just be me haha smilieD

Once again, that's only a hint.
If they wanted to imply it canon, they should've made Spyro say "I love you" back.

Well it was quite ovbious when ignitus tells cynder that the chains were on spyro and herself because it was their destinies.After that spyro and cynder met eyes and that seemed to be a loving glance.

If they really wanted to imply it canon, then they should've made Spyro said " love you" back. Wouldn't be hard.
