Endless Ocean: Difference between revisions

* [[For Science!]]: It is implied in the Anomalocarus article/trivia that the one that GG and the player character encountered at Castle Valka was revived in a genetic experiment, but somehow was released into the wild.

* [[Friendly Playful Dolphin|Friendly Playful Dolphins]]: The games naturally feature dolphins and larger cetaceans from various locations. You can befriend certain dolphins. When players get to nine ball island in ''Endless Ocean Blue World'' they can teach tricks to a dolphin.

* [[Genki Girl]]: Oceana at times.

* [[Ghost Ship]]: The large brown vessel which transports you to and from Ship's Rest, which you enter via ''the big gaping hole in its hull below the water line.'' In Ship's Rest itself, you can see the wreckage of the exact same boat right in the sand below where it's floating. It's actually really eerie, especially at night.

* [[Last Lousy Point]]: The Yatabai Blenny is legendarily hard to find.

* [[Made of Iron]] / [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Thanatos is completely immune to the pulsar gun. Needless to say, exploring his section of Ciceros Strait is a royal pain.

** The sequel fixes the [[Misplaced Wildlife]] aspect and the main plot is more [[Alternate History]] than magic, but the side quests include chasing a magic blue bird that can appear anywhere in the world, fetching items for a tiki idol, and "The Voice of the Night Sky" rewarding you for finding constellation coins scattered all over the world.

* [[Meganekko]]: Kat and Hayako again.

** Some fans have gone a little bit overboard with this, no pun intended. There are some (very complicated) theories involving the game's internal mythology and specific bits of dialog/mail that suggest that she might either {{spoiler|turn into a mermaid or cause some sort of catastrophe}} if she ever enters the sea. [[Wild Mass Guessing]] at its finest.

** There's also the (fairly realistic) explanation in-game: {{spoiler|her father Patrick died while on a dive when he got tangled up in kelp and eventually drowned. Seems fairly reasonable that she might have an aversion to diving after that.}}

* [[The World Is Just Awesome]]: Any time you discover a new major landmark, you're given a cinematic pan-around to showcase it from the best angles. And of course, then you can explore them at your leisure.

* [[Workplace-Acquired Abilities]]: Oceana illuminates all nearby zoom-in spots and can offer tours of landmarks; Gaston notifies you of nearby salvagables and holds onto five extra items; Hayako provides a radar of nearby species and allows for reviewing of special fauna behaviors (read: [[Cutscene|cutscenes]]); and the helper dolphins swim you around faster and can locate specific types of salvagables.
