So it's come to this, after months of using codes from Nintendo games that I actually purchased, in a mix of skewered codes amongst various shelves in Gamestop that I raided the leaflets for free coins, and the bullions of surveys that came afterward, I'm finally platinum. Does this mean anything? Aside from a gift I could always purchase on eBay for more than twice its actual retail value, then no.
The Mocking J: What really sold it for me was the reveal about that split.
Larkwings & Sicomba & Maict: Alfendi's mother is never mentioned in the game.
Imagine Worlds: Heh, yeah, my theories were like that too!
DriftedDaisy: Lesson learned, don't judge a book by its cover.
Seventh Sunset: The first time it happened I kind of spouted some comical profanities and took pleasure in the dark-mood music. That's another thing, the music is gold int hat game. Where's the soundtrack CD?
As always a review is appreciated no matter how obscene or obnoxious it is, a reply is guaranteed, complete with a transaction that'll sell a smile on any sap's face, provided they send a smile of the same caliber back my way.
Spoilers?: No.
Location: Unknown.
Timeline: After Curious Village, before Unwound Future.
Track Listened to While Writing: Festival from Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney
Word Count: 429 words.
Tip NO. 054: Misdirections
"Luke my boy, there is no such thing as getting lost."
"So...wheech way would London be in then, eh hombre?!"
Layton politely takes the explorer's map, and then compares it to the fork-in-the-road from whence he came, the path with the hill to be specific. He then compares it to the fork-in-the-road behind them, that Luke and he emerged from.
The latter fork is the explorer's next target.
"I would have to say that taking the left path is your best bet, that's the way we came from, and given that we walked here from London, it seems to be just the route you're looking for."
Pavel nods frantically and takes the map, "Si, si! Un map de explorer aficionado! Mein arigatos again, travelers! Gracias, muchos! Here's hopes that we see each other again soon! Yes?"
Layton nods and accepts the man's hasty handshake, "My thoughts exactly, I hope you eventually find whatever it is you're seeking."
Pavel pockets his map and heads off into the opposite direction, "Indeed, si si! Adios, amigos! Heil! Kunochiwa! Bonjour! Gomensai! Good luck on your viaje misterio de nazo!"
With that, Pavel disappears into the route that Layton and Luke just came from, continuing his never-ending journey to a treasure that might not even exist to begin with, and serving as a reminder for the duo to continue on their own quest.
Layton has the odd feeling that the explorer didn't use one of those words in the correct context, but shrugs it off.
They take the path that Pavel came from.
"Professor, do you think he'll ever find what he's looking for?"
Layton rubs his chin, "Perhaps, but it's none of our business. Shall we continue on our own expedition?"
Luke pouts, "I'm kind of tired... Why couldn't we have taken the Laytonmobile again?"
"You can't drive a vehicle into the bottom of a canyon, my boy."
"Oh...right. But how do you even know we're going the right way?"
As they finally approach the top of the hill, both the professor and Luke find themselves astonished to see an awe-inspiring sight, a seemingly endless grassy frontier that spans for miles, with thriving fauna and plant-life to boot.
A dirt path cutting in-between the mass land seems to be the only way through the area, and the presence of rugged rocks just far off into the distance imply that their destination isn't too far away.
"Wow! It's beautiful, isn't it professor?"
The professor tips his hat with a smile, "Indeed. It is quite a sight to behold, now come along, we'll have all the time to admire it on the way there."
