SNAPE KILLS DUMBELDOR!

*Ahem* Now, on to business. Do any of you think that they might change the boxart for the international release? Because it would be sad for them to replace such fancy boxart....

Oh, sorry, I didn't think it would be interpreted like that. I was just meant to be teasing. :( I've removed what I assume was the spoiler from my post and quotes of it.

Are you sure? I've never seen them. If we have a rule about that, then we'll need to write it down.

We still have GK2 discussion rules. It was in one of our earlier discussions that AA spoilers are required to be put in spoiler tags for unreleased games and games that only have a limited release time in the western hemisphere. We probably need to make a new global announcement thread about those two titles.

Ghost Trick isn't exactly an AA game...

But what am I saying? GET HYPE FOR PL VS AA!

The Professor Layton series is about a brilliant archaeologist/professor/puzzle solver/treasure hunter/fencer/everything else you can possibly imagine and his apprentice, Luke, going on adventures. The stories generally revolve around a big mystery that becomes clearer as time goes on, usually ending in an epic scene and a major plot twist or two. The gameplay is divided into two main parts- exploration and puzzles. The puzzles are the focus of the game- you can talk to people and examine the environment and find all sorts of puzzles, ranging from sliding block puzzles to mazes to logic problems. The music has a very distinct flavor- it uses strings and accordion heavily. There is a great deal of voiced dialogue in important scenes, and scattered across the games are gorgeous hand-drawn cutscenes. There have been four games released in America so far, with the fifth schedules for release this November and the sixth and final game having just been announced for a Japanese release probably sometime next year. The first three games (Curious Village, Diabolical Box, and Unwound Future) are known as the "original trilogy" and the latter three games (Last Specter, the upcoming Miracle Mask, and the recently announced sixth game known in Japan as The Legacy of Super Civilization A) and the movie (Eternal Diva) are a prequel trilogy to the original trilogy and take place several years beforehand. The games as a whole are known for their deep, engaging storylines, large and quirky casts, beautiful music, gorgeous cutscenes, and tear-jerker endings.

So yeah. That's my summary of the Layton series. They get my highest recommendation- go buy them IMMEDIATELY.

No it's not... Though it kinda is...
Spoiler : :
Looking at the final trailer, it seems that the new girl gets burned alive even when Phoenix wins, but that's my take on it.
Like the creator of Final Fantasy, I'm better at telling a story.

Well it's too late anyway. They'll have already started on the localisation, and 3DS sales might be better in the US (someone will need to confirm that for me :P ).

But I haven't been keeping in the loop lately. Are the tracks that Bolt uploaded just music rips or the OST? If it's the former, when does the OST come out?
