Just imagine if they got Spyro into the quality of facial detail and such of today's games, even if they (For those of you who know about the Final Fantasy 10 and 10.2 Remaster) got it into the graphics stage of the newer Final Fantasy games for example. It would be pretty different than before.

I beg to differ...

Went on a rant about humans actually for Spyro fanfictions and their cliches....

Let me direct quote it:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I swear to god if I see anothre story where a human comes through some magical star gate and lands in the dragon world as a dragon I'm going to start flipping tables. More often than not, this is just the writer self-inserting. More often than not, it is not done well. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, THEY ARE THE HERO OF THE NETHERLANDS OR WHATEVER.

Seriously, don't do it. If you can't think of anything in a gigantic world given to you and must add in humans...ugh

If my series ever becomes a thing and people start doing this I will scream.

TL;DR edition; you have run out of idea when you bring in humans. No exception.

Handel and Greta didn't feel out of place in those games, actually, but is the "futuristic universe" a reference to the Spyro games or to the movie?

Oh god, those ETD farmers. Stuff of nightmares right there.

I guess I never noticed the number of humans in the original Spyro trilogy. So I suppose it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing as long as it fits into the overall theme of the world/level

I was always under the impression that the Balloonists were kind of like undercover resistance gnorcs that rebelled from Gnasty or something, haha. But they are pretty mysterious; it's entirely possible they could be human.

Oh yeah, those were shepherds. I was thinking of the wizards in magic crafters.

There's also the children in Shady Oasis out of Ripto's Rage, though.

Then there are the balloonists, and the enemies in Gnorc Cove. They might not be human, but do look a lot like it, and either way, they still work, because their faces are hidden behind scarves. Oh, and the cavemen in Skelos Badlands and Crystal Glacier.

The farmers in ETD probably originated from those in YotD. But these, like the cavemen were more like silly little creatures, rather than the gross things we got in ETD.

^Kinda cute.

^Oh, that face and bouncing belly

It seems to me humans still work in Spyro games when they are disguised or presented in a way that doesn't scream out "human".

actually those were just shepherds. those guys didn't use magic like the ones in Magic Crafters. still mostly covered up though, true.

Those are wizards, though, they make sense in a fantasy/medieval universe such as that, and they're mostly covered up.
