I think you're right.creid said:
Sorry artwalknoon. They still go by very quickly.
I just finished the main game. Awesome game as usual. The puzzles were great, some new and some old. The story was good, but the reveals were a little bit disappointing mainly because of the
And I can't wait to learn more about the
in later games. Also, I will admit that I teared up a little at the ending. This is the second time this has happened to me in Layton games, with the UF ending being the other one.
misleading shape of the specter presented early on in the game. The Golden Garden reveal was fantastic though.

Just finished it. SPOILERS INCOMING! Is there no password from Unwound Future to use on this one or something? The hidden door just says to look for the password in Layton 5. I thought the game was pretty good. I thought the town was really nice looking and the characters were pretty good. I thought Loosha was really bad though. I mean I laughed out loud at how sappy and predictable her death was. Was I supposed to be sad when the cute Nessi thing that had been getting beat on for the last 30 minutes died? 'Cmon.
I have to admit that I'm kind of getting burned out on the puzzles. I don't play the games for the puzzles, I just want to watch the story. I'd be perfectly fine just watching Layton anime movies. Speaking of which, my Eternal Diva DVD just shipped from Amazon.
I just think it would be better if more puzzles had more to do with the story or maybe if it was more like a traditional adventure game where you collect and combine items to solve puzzles. I'm definitely looking forward to the next game though.
I guess I'll try London Life now.

I love how Layton stories always start with some strange mystery and then balloon into complete batshit insanity by the end.

Did anyone else encounter a game-breaking bug on puzzle 141? It's required to beat to beat the game, and I swear I'm inputting the right answer (I've triple checked all over the internet), but the game is saying I'm wrong.
So close to the end too!! So disappointing.

I had a problem with that one too. I'd say it's more of script mistake than a bug though. You don't have to connect them to the same color. You can connect greens to blues. If you look online you should be able to find a photo of the solution.

No, I definitely have the right answer. It matches exactly with the guide I'm looking at as well. I think I did something in some kind of weird order that freaked the game out.

Finally beat the game! Turns out what I thought was a bug was me not realizing that I actually had to drag the pieces onto the top rectangle in the puzzle. I was just rotating them on the bottom rectangle.
In any case, consider me very impressed. This was my first Layton game to play, and now I'm definitely interested in playing the past 3 games (sometime after this expensive holiday season).
How much of the game do you guys have completed? Here's mine:
Puzzles Solved: 119
Puzzles Found: 119
Picarats: 4074
Hint Coins: 162/257
Time Played: 16 hr. 29 min.
Trains Completed: 8/10
Fish Tanks Completed: 7/10
Collection: 16/24

Finished LL. It was amazing to see actual animation there, for a few seconds. The quests continue long after the ending, apparently.
The main game is quite good. So far the minigames are pathetically easy compared to earlier ones, though.
I put a Proper Apple Pie out in LL, if anybody connects and cares. The whole money-item-storage model is totally broken. But, whatever, it's free.

Just beat the main game and man did this have some hard puzzles lol.
Right now I'm trying to find the last Episode so I can unlock the last puzzles, and tonight I'll watch the animated movie and such be as up to date as possible with the Layton series, lol.
Emmy <3 she's now my fav. Layton character after the good professor. I personally didn't like how the story resolved before the epilogue, but was surprised that Don Paulo didn't magically disguise himself as anyone in this game, let alone not be in it.

Hehe, the shop had the US version so I can also enjoy the Gentlemanery London Life!jgkspsx said:Did you beat LL? That resolves one of your concerns. Unless you're EU, in which case, sorry
When can we expect the 3DS game to be released in English? Late 2012 or 2013?
EDIT: BTW anyone know where I can get good quality videos of
Layton's swordfight from the 2nd game, and of Emmy's deadly roundhouse kicks

I just watched the Eternal Diva movie today and I thought it was pretty good. Most of the characters have different voices so, that's kind of weird at first, but it's a pretty good Laytonesque story. It would have worked as a game too. It takes place right after The Last Specter in the timeline so, I recommend watching it after beating The Last Specter.

US version.
Just reading a review, absolutely unbelievable that the European (and thus UK release) doesn't have the 100+ hour long 'London Life' RPG game.
I mean seriously, if they didn't want to translate it, could they not have at least thrown in the English version, apologise to the non-English speaking Europeans and at least give the rest of us a chance?
Sorry if this is close minded, and it's easy to say as I'm English, but from experience of playing online games and using web forums, many people speak English incredibly well, so that option would surely be preferable over just leaving it out.

Its a negative spiral. The only real way to let NOE know is via the post play survey (over here they are limited, not a bonus you get for registering the game like NOA) and the "what aspects didn't you like part" but at the same time if you felt strongly about it you imported the game from America anyway meaning you have no voice.
You now feel the pain North American players have when it comes to Xenoblade Chronicles and the two other games that feature English but will not be released there.
At least you have a game to play from your region, even if you're missing a mode. If all else fails, import the NA copy?
Lol, I didn't even beat the game. It was way too boring. It's pretty easy to get tons of Happiness though, just convert money into happiness by buying lots of expensive stuff.
This is a pretty lame question, but does London Life have any spoilers for Last Specter in it? I noticed famous puzzles from past games in the museum and a character has already referenced Misthallery, is it pretty much safe to play through if I don't think too hard about anything that's not familiar? I'd rather not stumble upon a secret villain or something is what I'm basically saying.
Don't know if it's necessarily the cheapest, but I always use:

I also used VGPlus.

They are great, because you definitely don't have to deal with customs when you order from them.
But VG+ is a fine shop, too.
Shipping times are around one week for both sites.
I started London Life, definitely charming and cute as an "extra", could work as a digital delivery title for about 5-6 too.
So basically the starting day in the adventure is the real life day (iirc), but then the time itself is not in real time (...) like Animal Crossing, right?
I will post my fc as soon as i get to online functionality.
There's also a streetpass like feature... that no one will ever use.
