Professor Layton/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: Professor Layton is one half of a [http://3ds.nintendolife.com/news/2010/10/phoenix_wright_and_professor_layton_team_up_on_3ds crossover] with the ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' franchise. [[Crazy Awesome]] doesn't begin to describe this scenario. [http://layton-vs-gyakuten.jp/index.html It must be seen to be believed].

* [[Crazy Awesome]]: There's a bit of an ongoing tradition that the ending portion of the game tends to become absolutely ''insane'' further in. It becomes especially funny after Layton determines that the "secrets" of wherever they happen to be exploring at the time turn out to be relatively mundane and then he proceeds to {{spoiler|build a hang glider out of curtains and a giant globe to escape a tower under assault from a rudimentary helicopter equipped with a wrecking ball}}, {{spoiler|swordfight with an old man in a decomposing mansion while high on illusion fumes}}, or {{spoiler|drive up the side of a twenty-story walking robot tank in the Laytonmobile}}.

** Then starting with ''Last Specter'', things already seem crazy enough with a potential rogue specter and a witch, {{spoiler|but both of those don't hold a candle to an actual ''dinosaur'' appearing out of a lake, which the so-called witch and her little brother ''have kept as a pet for their whole lives''.}}

** Luke gets one near the end of ''Eternal Diva'', and a minor one in ''Unwound Future''.

* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: Likewise, the series has its own folder on the [[Video Games/Heartwarming|Video Games]] page.

** ''The Eternal Diva'': [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm4A7lWf238&feature=PlayList&p=C8D4794D7A85AC74&index=9 ''The third key is the Song of the Sun!'']

** The main themes for each of the games count. It seems to be getting even better actually, with this live version of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UznEZUIy5UA&feature=PlayList&p=7994D4AB68DF663D&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=89 Unwound Future main theme].

** Also the chess puzzles. "Here, this is a 10x10 chess board. Jump on every single space, and you can only move as a knight. Also, there is only one known way to solve this puzzle, and only one correct direction to jump for every single jump. [[Complete Monster|To top it off, we've replaced your hints with random chess trivia that is no help whatsoever.]] Oh, quit crying, you wuss."

*** ''Unwound Future'' actually taunts the player like this in its [[Old Save Bonus]] [[Block Puzzle]]:

** The Chocolate Code in the English version of ''Curious Village''. This one wouldn't be so bad if the translators hadn't changed the hints so that they didn't reference the most significant part of the clue's illustration.

** One of the [[Brutal Bonus Level|bonus puzzles]] in ''Diabolical Box'' asks you to multiply a three-digit number by a two-digit number to get a four-digit number... and you can only use each of the numbers 1-9 once. There are only two possible answers. Solving this puzzle without using hints is virtually impossible without [[Luck-Based Mission|random guesswork]] (even consciously avoiding multiplications that would make the last digit 0 doesn't help much; it only eliminates a handful of the ''[[Beyond the Impossible|over 387 million]]'' possible combinations).

** A hint of [[Scenery Gorn]] in ''Lost/Unwound Future'', with the {{spoiler|Mobile Fortress}}.

** Misthallery in ''Last Specter'', but special mention goes to {{spoiler|the Golden Garden.}}

* [[The Woobie]]:

** Flora.

** We can now add Arianna in ''Last Specter''.

* [[Your Mileage May Vary]]: Some puzzles may be a breeze for you; the same puzzles might make someone else tear their hair out. This depends on, among other things, whether the player has done a similar puzzle before, their knowledge, and their critical thinking.
