Seeing how the Legend series is a rehaul and they've continually said it has no relation to the original Spyro storyline, I don't think Elora or many of the others will return.

SpyroxElora fans or SpyroxEmber fans are most likely shot down now that Spyro pretty much has a real girlfriend without speculation xD
They might bring Ember back to give some comedic clashing over who gets Spyro, but I doubt they'll deviate from the current SpyroxCynder relationship.
It would be interesting to see Ripto return as a possible catalyst for Malefor's return or something xD
As for dragonfly or fairy characters...pretty sure they're out there, with such a large fanbase it's very likely. Just not common, since the main focus is dragons xD

This is true, sadly-
It is a shame though, because I think Elora would look so awesome with modern console graphics and if she suddenly just appeared in a game again it would bring back some of the classic magic of the first games. I was suprised to see Hunter in DOTD, and how different he was- but it did give me hope that maybe Elora would be in this or later games also. I guess I can only hope.

Also, where did Zoey go? lol... would like to see her come back to. And Gnasty Gnorc! He is legendary.

I would like to see the return of Alora, as far as I know she was only in the second Spyro game. More classic characters should come back.

It would help to have some sort of background history from the movie in the game somewhere so everyone is on the same page. Maybe in a prologue or a written biography form.

As for a fan-character movie/game... I don't know if that would work out. One's character personality might cause a conflict with another so some things would have to be tweaked and it might cause some unsettling arguments to erupt. I just have difficulty seeing it working...then again it's more like a shot in the dark since I haven't the slightest idea who these characters are.

Hm... has anyone came up with a dragonfly or male fairy character yet? I'm just curious.

I'm not keen on game-based movies, there's too much chance for error and messing something up. It'd be good publicity if done right, but if it presents something that players need to know for future games, there are some people who can't see the movie but can get the games, so they'd be in the dark (kinda like how the BIONICLE comics almost mandate that readers see the movies in order to understand the new storylines)

A relationship movie would be great but they would have to reiterate the movie in games that come after that, for people unable to see/buy the movie for whatever reasons (parents, location, discontinued production of the movie after several years, etc)
problem with a canonical movie that introduces events between the games is that in five or so years people will still be playing the games, but the movie might not be in production/distribution anymore, and even die-hard fans might not want to bother hunting copies of the movie just to fill in a few "'tween-game" pieces.

a fan-character movie? XD interesting idea but I can't see that happening, too much fighting among fans xD

I think they should just do a movie to do with the relationship between Spyro and Cynder and by that I do NOT mean mating xD

my idea is they should make another movie after when this upcoming one comes out this christman

it should include a handful of Fan-dragons and they fight along side with Spyro and Cynder

Comedy and emotion are probably Sierra's next step now that Spyro's overcome a major crisis and now has a verified love interest XD
There were some attempts at humor in DotD, like Sparx referring to the fact that his voice has changed significantly in each game, but the next games should work harder on something more directly funny. DotD's mood was too serious to really allow for much humor without ruining the end-of-the-world sense it conveyed.

I can kinda foresee some awkward moments and a lot of jokes aimed at Spyro & Cynder's relationship in coming games xD

I think everyone knows you don't like TLOS...? I agree though, they should do the next game like what they did with DOTD.

WEll The first stop would not to go back a step. All the things improved on in DOTD should be kept, apart from free flight (one game was more than enough). And not disbanding the TLOS method altogether (and You know that otherwise i'd say just go back to original formula), some improvements could be more platforming, a non linear game choosing levels) and more creative ideas (Challenges such as Getting rafts and putting out fires are boring). I dunno what could improve TLOS, I dont care. But The way it is i will never like. I just dont like those kind of games, fullstop, Whether its TLOS or not.

@Spyro.Lover:
Yeah, sorry about that, I tend to get really wordy ^^; bit of a habit from my hobby as a writer.
Puzzles would really help lengthen the game; less focus on combat, since combat keeps the player in one spot more or less while puzzle-solving uses large parts of the map.

@Akon:
Thanks! Yeah it does seem a bit RPGish...hmmm
And thanks, I hope someday I can make my way onto the team @@
Spyro was the first game I ever played and has been fairly influential for me.
