Phantom Hourglass (SPOILERS)

I am nobody · 04-04-2008, 06:49 PM

Like:
Unlimited Cannon Ammo (Fun to shot the seagulls)
Hidden Islands (Even more than WW because it isn't obvious where they are)
Controlling Gongoron
Compliment Card
"Hero's New Clothes" (Funniest part of the game)
Getting Ambushed By Jolene/The Miniblin Warship
Salvage Arm
Customizing The Ship
Eok (One of the most fun boss fights in the series)
Salvatore (Not as great as WW, but the Cannon Game and his intro are still high points)
Linebeck
Upgrading Faries
Biggoron (146 rupee registration fee = best scam ever)
Dee Ess Island

Do Not Like:
Celia (Better than Navi, but not by much)
The Difficulty Level (All the times I died were due to not being used to the controls)
The Length (I beat it in 5 days)
Harrow Island (Ugh. 4 Maps and 75% of it is rupoors >_<.)
Maze Game
The Archery Game (Why is 1090 not worth anything?)
Getting Stuck At 9,999 Rupees With Nothing To Buy

Overall, I'd put it at 4th in the series, behind TP, WW and aLttP.

EDIT: Forogt having to repeat the Temple of the Ocean King over and over again as something I didn't like.

...I need to get this game, very soon. Luckily, I have a good amount of money(In my youngster eyes atleast), so I'll have to pick it up...eventually.

Here's hoping I don't forget.

I got it $6 off since it was used, even though the previous owner was at most 5 minutes into it.

Didn't like:

Temple of the Ocean King gragh
MAJOR plot predictability
Bellum. :/
"Does 43214902148021348204 rupees sound fair?"
Ciela... WHY MUST THE NAVI VOICE RETURN????

I luuuuurve this game. I swear it's addictive, and I have very fond memories with it in Health class.

I like the ending mainly because it has 2 of my 3 favorite tracks from the game. (Staff Credits, the theme for Linebeck sailing away, and one of the Goron Isle themes) I'm kind of dissapointed that they went from WW (Far too many great tracks to list) to having mostly generic music. Still, they at least gave Goron Isle 3-4 different tracks, all of which are one of, if not the best Goron theme in the series.

The prices were strange. Sometime Beetle would sell me things 300 rupees off (Zora Scale. Beetle's Price = 500. Collector's Price = 800) Somtimes he would overcharge seconds after claiming he would stop doing that.

The plot was very predictable. Even some of the minor events were. Mainly when you unfreeze Tetra. While I was watching it, I knew exactly what was going to happen because it was so much like MC. (Collapse of Final Bosse's lair, person being unfrozen to say they dreamed about you, final boss not being dead and coming back through a warp to fight you)

I'm still spoiling these because they're major spoilers, even though it says SPOILERS in the title.

When I said "major plot predictability" I meant

Spoiler Below

OSHUS IS THE OCEAN KING LIEK OMG??

CIELA IS A SPIRIT WOW I NEVER GUESSED

OH, LOOK, THEY'RE TAKING TWENTY MINUTES TO TOUCH HANDS, I'D NEVER EXPECT SOMETHING TO SWOOP DOWN AND GRAB TETRA OMG

And yes, the soundtrack was kind of a letdown from WW's KICKASS soundtrack... ah well. Treasure hunting was fun. :]
