There was still a chance for them. I like them (except phyco Geyndal).

And? It's obvious that you like them, derp

I'm just saying that if there's a chance of the twins returning based on Amanda's post, there's also as big a chance of Gyendal returning because she mentioned them around the same time (and me bugging her didn't really help the situation either, but that's beside the point). If YOU can be excited about the twins, I can be excited about Gyendal.

Also, if any of them are indeed returning, it still doesn't mean that they're going to be playable. Galahad and Te'ijal reappeared in Aveyond 2 but they're just random passerby standing around doing nothing important.

Like Mopiece said, it's too early to be excited about anything. See the Gyenda-in Mel's-party example. That came up in development/brainstorming stage, but didn't actually appear in the released build. If Uma and Nox reappearing/being involved didn't make sense to the main plot, then they could be ditched. Don't bring your hopes up for your own sake. It'll only disappoint you when it didn't happen.

Maybe we'll see Uma and Nox as the grandmothers of the playable characters of AV4. Won't that be a riot, second cousins in the same party arguing like the world will never end. Better yet, Uma ends up the ruler of Acropolis and Nox of Underfall, being the famed twin cities of light and darkness connected by Ashera's Tomb and all.

(The opinion of the writer does not in any way hint about the outcome of AV4. Aisling is just a fan, not a staff member )

Uma/Acropolis and Nox/Underfall would be VERY cool! (I still don't know anything)

That would be awesome too. Still can't imagine old lady Uma and Nox though. And fans would probably prefer to not see that

I beg to differ. I want to see Nox old with kids.
While Uma can be forever alone xD

Yeah, Nox should totally be made to realise how plagued Mel felt when she had to deal with her twins arguing over her like she's not even there XD

But Uma is nice! Not in a Stella-ish-sickly-sweet-I'm-getting-a-toothache-I-can't-stand-her kinda way, but really nice. I think she deserves some kids too, and she'd be a way better mother than Nox XD. Just saying.

I really want to see Acropolis and Underfall again, and I hope that, if they do return, their tilesets are simply updated but generally similar. I was disappointed when we got to Sedona in TDP because it did not have any of the same spirit as the original Sedona. It was not horrible, but it felt like a completely different place. Acropolis and Underfall are both so beautiful and well done, and I would be especially saddened to see Acropolis changed so that it is recognizable only in name. I also hope to return to that China-inspired place whose name I can never remember.

Okay, maybe it's just me, then. I don't want to see them old and gray yet. I want to see their personalities develop on-screen. I'm sure they HAVE changed somehow. I like to think that their going back in time changed their "original" timeline. Their childhood experience, and probably memories, would have changed after Mel figured out that the crazy girls she met in her teenage years was her daughters from the future. Mel would either be extra harsh on them, or find the situation funny once it's well done and over with and actually encourage their weirdness.

I agree that I don't want to see Uma being together with anyone yet. If she's gonna get with anyone, I like to see it happen on screen. In my head Uma is very sneaky about her evilness. She's just as twisted and evil like Nox, but puts on a goody-two-shoes act in front of everyone. I want to see her interacting with the guy on screen so I can see for myself what the relationship dynamic is like. Nox.. Well, she's just like Mel, but more "lol I r evilz trololololol" instead of being all bitter about the evilness like Mel was (or at least I think Mel was bitter). I think her approach to relationships would be like Te'ijal and I'm fine with not seeing it on screen.

Ditto. In AV1 both Sedona and Clearwater had this rustic feel to it. Like an antique European countryside. While Sedona was a bit more city-like than Clearwater, it still has this antique and forest-y look to it. In AV3 I feel like I just entered a second Thais or something. Almost. It just has a bit more green and dirt to it, but still looks like Thais sort of. And then Clearwater has an entirely different mood to it

Veldarah had been AWESOME! It still kept its Chinese-inspired architecture from AV1 era. Why can't the same be done to Sedona? Well, okay, AV1-era Vedarah was actually a cultural-mashup of Chinese and Indian (just look at Shadwood's and the Veldarah castle's interior) style and they got rid of the Indian parts in AV3, but still. (fun fact: Veldarah castle looks almost exactly the same in Av1 and Av3 )

It's more Japan than China, considering the people are named "Shiro", "Kasumi" and "Takeshi". And some decor inside the houses look like shoji screens. The place's name is Shoal Lieu. I remember because it sounded similar to Sheian Lyr. Oh, bad... I just gave myself a weird idea. Why do I do this to myself?

Aveyond 4
Butterfly Adventure !!!!

Um, Butterfly Adventure is a separate game.

I want to see Storybook Island again

Candar, city of love could have return in Aveyond 4

Okey, I must say it, i must say it in the name of many Aveyond fans, I would love if one of the playable characters of Aveyond (maybe not in Aveyond 4) would be truly evil, a bad boy (it should be a boy to be more impressive), and he should take the game's heroine and leave the good fool who loved her crying. (I think that 90% it is chance that the game's hero will be a girl)

Quote:
Unlikely. We don't see a trace of Candar even though the focus of LOT was the very area where Candar was

Quote:
*raises eyebrows* Really now? The whole Spook-is-Gyendal in Aveyond 3-TLO didn't count?

Guess Amanda really should've kept Gyendal in Mel's party for TDP. It would've make everything all the more interesting. Imagine Mel in Demon Realm being helped by people she didn't want help from, especially someone she reaaally hates. That would make funny interaction.

@theone: In AV1 none of the Mainland was around. In AV3, the extra islands from the previous game were not around. We can only access story-relevant areas in each game. Candar is likely still around, we just didn't see it in AV3. I personally hope that we do see it again.

Well Old Uma and Nox sounds a little creepy.
But young adult Uma and Nox sounds fair.

Quote:
Wait, whut? Have you forgotten that "Blasted Lands" IS Mainland? It's so small because the rest of the land got destroyed by Ahriman. That's why quite a number of people were all "WHUT HOW DID THE LAND GROW BIG SO FAST?" when they see AV2. Unless you meant "the rest of the Mainland area doesn't exist in AV1". To that I say "duh". They don't exist because they're blasted and ruined.

Quote:
See the reply above. Consider the possibility of it being ruined off screen. Places that got ruined/destroyed will of course disappear off the map. Have you seen the world map? Because I am nitpicky, let me illustrate.

To be serious, Gyendal was pathetic, he wasn't either evil nor strong. He only knew some spells and tricks, his strength was his dark servants and he was Mordred's minion. In TDP he was a minor character, that was really pathetic. Gyendal is only a fool who really thought that he could rule the world. He wasn't truly evil.
