There's also a big fish-like monster leaping out of the water seen in the teaser trailer, destroying a vessel.

He has to be a better swimmer than Nier himself.

Lol, let's just hope that they don't simply drown like Altair did in his game. xD

1. It won't be mandatory. (Some characters are fire-type.)
2. You won't be able to dive underwater.
As in, you'll just swim on the surface like in the shallow areas in Spyro 2 and 3. Having stuff underwater wouldn't be fair to non-swimming characters unless there was some secret location for fire-characters only to balance it out.

They say that you can use any character at any time, but I bet they are leaving out situations that allow some characters to do something others can't. On the contrary, it would makes sense if the three starter pack characters are able to do all of the things required for game completion, and anything after that is gravy. Just my guess, though.

All those times I drowned to death in Spyro The Dragon, why didn't he float! He has to!

The only way swimming will be in the game is if it is required for the completion of a level or task. Any time Spyro has ever been able to swim, he kind of has to.

As long as there are no temples down there you should be fine.

Am I the only one who hopes that they never have to go into water areas?

I still have nightmares from OoT

Maybe, after all some of the characters can walk throue lava!

They have Gill Grunt, Spyro, and probably a few others they can use to have them swim underwater. They would be cool. :3

Spyro should swim, Aura24. He hasn't done so since AHT and LOS did not have underwater levels.
