      Absolutely, some moments in this video almost feel like early Jadusable stuff, like the weird early uploads before bad stuff actually happens

      @@jojogape Personally I always thought Ember's weird vanishing
      after her "Don't go into the Swamp Spyro! If you do I might Never
      see you Again!" line, was a tad unnerving. Like, if you never
      played Shadow Legacy, that'd be her Canonical final Appearance!

    I thought it might have something to do with that since it's the same spot Spyro takes when speaking to him, but it's nice to finally see it clearly!

    Are you saying that the mystery entity was Spyro the whole time?
    It's honestly amazing this way of loading characters when one is used while the other isn't, and quite funny how this oversight tells a lot about development.
    It's really cool.

    Very sneaky, glad they got it to work, strange it's the only place where this occurs but I guess it makes sense they probably refined the whole thing elsewhere.

    Let me guess. Spyro a hero’s tail is your favourite game ever right? I love it! It’s a big childhood favourite of mine as well. It’s very underrated I think. It’s definitely not perfect but it’s certainly a very interesting game despite its flawed execution. I just wish it wasn’t so overlooked and people gave it a second chance too. I often replay it every couple of years on my PS2 as well. The game definitely could’ve been far better however, than what we initially got.

  • @Wandergirl108
    @Wandergirl108 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    From what (admittedly little) I understand of the subject, there's a chance that removing the code for that NPC entirely could have broken the whole game and forced them to rewrite the full code from scratch, so they left it in and just made it permanently invisible. That said, shouldn't the invisible Spyro be in front of Hunter's areas, in that case? Is it? I've never noticed anything like this anywhere in the game, but then again, I am pretty asinine about playing games as intended…

    • @EbbeAHT
      @EbbeAHT  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      The invisible NPC is also in front of Hunter, it's just hard to notice because you get pulled into the cutscene as soon as you get close.
      And yeah, for large development teams it's often better to deactivate stuff rather than delete it outright. It's how games end up with huge amounts of test stuff which could've easily been deleted. The dev has to account for even the slightest chance that it's essential for something somewhere to not crash and burn down.

    I have to ask because you seem like the most likely person to know this, but somewhere in Coastal Remains there's a little side cave with gems (and i want to say a blue starry Sgt. Bird egg but i could be wrong) that has a big crack in the wall, almost like it's breakable but not quite, and obvs it doesnt break.
    This crack has bothered me since I was a kid, because when you look through it you can see a huge 'volcano/ colosseum' looking thing with a green light shining out the top, just sitting out in the ocean. I searched through your videos but can't find mention of it. What is that thing?

      There is! It's just hard to notice, because as soon as you get close, you get pulled into the cutscene.
