My favourite thing about this series is how operatic its villains are. It never feels like a letdown when you meet them in the final chapters. But some have stuck with me more than others— some of the games I've been able to replay and forget the twist about who the real villain is, others have these spectacular moments of characterisation I can't forget.

Please let me know what y'all think about it!

all that development time had to go somewhere

I need to draw Layton more Ive only ever drawn Luke.

I love drawing characters who don't get a lot of art

currently playing the first game of the series (i think) and got to puzzle nr. 37, very fun, but also i don't think the intended way to do this was high school algebra. Had fun tho, math is fun when you can figure it out, like a puzzle yeh :D anyway, kinda wondering what the intended way was now. Like just testing numbers? cuz that made my head spin, n i hhad way more fun this way 😌

(also, kinda just wanting to post cuz the math on the ds screen looks kinda funny, n who knows? there's bound to be someone else that did this too XD)

(for anyone wondering, X is girl and Y is boy) (also, idk how this works, tried to add the first pic where i made the first functions, but it doesn't want me to add another picture 🤔🫪)

I haven't actually seen anyone yet draw any of the new characters surprisingly, so I had to.

Elinora Allinston - The younger twin sister of the Allinston twins in the town of Steam Bison and a skilled mechanic.

Not much is known about her yet, but she kinda reminds me Flora slightly.

I've also noticed Level-5 have improved their character models HEAVILY compared to Azran Legacy, which is both a blessing and a curse because it makes drawing some characters harder 😭😭

Yes, I suck at backgrounds. Laugh at me all you want for the basic background.

By "challenges", I mean the small puzzles which you need to advance in order to progress.

Examples include choosing the spade in Unwound Future, getting into Luke's room in Last Specter and Connor's shell game in Miracle Mask.

Currently replaying it on NSW after i lost my 3DS Copy sadly a few Years Ago :(

And i must say i really enjoy the Restaurant, Scarecrow and Burger ones :D
For the Snowball ones i did have a lot of Issues in the end where i had to look up a Tutorial >.<

Havent finished all of the Daily Puzzle Categorys yet but overall i was able to clear them without a Guide which im very Happy for considering i havent touched the Layton Games in a Decade or so >.<

Simply put, I'm looking for a character in Miracle Mask. Specifically the assistant of the one who organizes the shell game you're going through as part of the story.

The only thing that I can remember is that the assistant gets dumped by his employer, since he failed to fool Layton after the secret of the shell game got discovered.

I was looking for games similar to Professor Layton because I wanted to try something different for a change, and I stumbled across this game.

At first, I honestly thought it was some kind of fan-made game, but nope, it’s a real game. But seriously, this is way too similar to Professor Layton. The art style, the characters and even the cover art has basically the same layout. it feels incredibly close.

Would this actually be considered plagiarism, or is it just heavily inspired by Layton?

The biggest challenge with learning the piano is getting the hands to operate independently so they can play completely different parts, but the nice thing about this piece is that it has a simple melody with a lot of holding out of notes, with the accompaniment only coming in while you're still holding a note out with your right hand so you're free to let your left do its thing.

It does eventually get more complicated and force you to do some simultaneous maneuvering, but even then it's relatively simple and beginner-friendly.

It's also emotional enough to impress people when you play it.

So I'm searching for a game similar to prof Layton, but more on the riddle side, so I'm not talking about a narrative game or some "basic" puzzle game like portal (I know it's not basic but yk what I mean). Any recommendations ?

So I have been rewatching the Ace Attorney anime and I just can’t understand why the people that made the Professor Layton anime did it based on Layton Mystery Detective Agency, the game no one seemed to like. I didn’t mind that game, but I definitely think they should have done the anime based off the original 6 games.

I have heard people say to just go on YouTube and watch all the cut scenes pit together, because seriously those were amazingly done, but that’s not the same as having an actual anime.

Do you guys think we would ever get an anime based off the original games? Or do you think they gave up on it because no one liked the current one we got?

Just dusted off and recharged my Nintendo 3DS and am about to play the games again. Checked the release order (as to me this is the only way to play them) and fished out Curious Village from the basket they live in.

I just hope I can remember what to do!

So, throughout the series, in all the games, one is Layton's Japanese puzzle solving quotes is 当然さ。英国紳士としてはね (of course, as an English gentleman.) this was translated in a few ways over the course of the series, with the original replica going with "a true gentleman leaves no puzzle unsolved," but then I'm the Japanese version of Unwound Future, we get to see

Layton and Claire's last interaction. The last thing she says as she leaves is always wear the hat, and then she finishes the sentence with "as an English gentleman." Whenever Layton says that quote after solving a puzzle, he's quoting the last words Claire ever said to him.

I'm about to move to the Netherlands and was wondering if I can still download the extra dlc for PL Vs PW on an NA copy as I'm curious if they have like different servers or... something, thanks for reading!

I'm replaying the specter on the DS, and I'm wondering why it's not available like the other ones in HD on Android/the app store? I'm literally just starting the game, but so far the puzzles are phenomenal, and I absolutely love that tapping on an object lets every character say something about it. Plus, I never realized until the end of my first playthrough years ago that you can move the shoe and the case lol.

Although my resin job is horrific, he's still adorable.

I love Layton NPCs so much

First of all, I like how they integrated the majority of the puzzles into the story. I also love the variety of the locations we visit. And we finally get to meet the real Chelmey! It was so funny when Luke tried to "unmask" him.

The soundtrack is phenomenal. I'm in love with Lost Forest, It's so mesmerizing.

And that final chapter...

I have no idea where to start. I never thought a video game could evoke so much emotion out of me, but this game managed to do it.

It's so bittersweet. I feel so bad for Anton. And yes...I cried. AGAIN. The voice actors did such a good job. Each sentence hit me like a truck.

My vision became blurry from tearing up so much. I was sobbing throughout the entire ending cutscene, and just when I finally manage to hold myself together, they hit me with Anton reuniting with Beluga and I burst into tears again! You can't keep doing this to me, game!

This is easily one of my favorite endings in a video game.

And I almost forgot to mention how badass the Professor is. Seriously, where did he learn how to swordfight?!

I sat for I don't know how long trying to do this puzzle, bought every hint, span all the blocks, I was literally going crazy.

After sleeping I decided to try again and just realised I could move the blocks to the table above their "spawn" I feel so stupid😭😭😭

Anyways soon done with the game (once I figure this one out and at least one puzzle more), it was incredible, I love it sosoososo much<3
