I have to say, bottling up the energy, thats trys to break up the planet is Pretty counterintuitive. shouldnt that stuff be let out?

also, is the next video already where the special thing happens?

I don't think they're bottling it up precisely, I think the spellstones act more like a heatsink and absorb the excess energy?

Or maybe I just want this game to make at least a little bit of sense.

The energy is bad when it doesn't flow correctly, like a hose not fully screwed onto a faucet. All we're doing here is setting things up properly so it stops breaking the planet and things go back to normal.

One of the few examples of the status quo actually being good.

Either the planet will heal on its own once we've repaired the energy flow or we'll shoot some asteroids into the cracks on our way off planet.

Now that's we've returned the first Spellstone to the Volcano Force Point Temple it's time to head back to Thorntail Hollow and figure out what to do next. That is as long as we don't get sidetracked on the way back by a big talking Krazoa.

Can't decide whether Fox/Krystal's incredibly horny sax solo or Tricky does a racism is the highlight of the video

But that was a fantastic last shot.

Okay, so is the audio super desynced for anyone else besides me? Nobody else has brought it up so I have no idea what's going on.

edit: Wait, it's only the first 3 minutes, it seems to have fixed itself as the video continues?

oh thank god you got that magic upgrade. it is the most minor thing but it was actually bothering the poo poo out of me because it's right there and refilling magic across the entire game is such annoying busywork.

i seem to recall you can also use the ice blast on enemies and then just instantly kill them for a way to make BAD GUYS invalid, but what else is new in star fox adventures

Yeah refilling magic is the worst and that magic upgrade is so easy to miss. Even when I know it's there I never realize I've forgotten it until I'm already in Moon Mountain Pass.

I don't think I've ever used Ice Blast on a sharpclaw before. I'll have to try that out.

To be fair regarding the whole "two games where he could kick rear end without the staff" thing, I'm pretty sure his Smash Bros moveset isn't canon aside from obvious stuff like "has a gun". And he wasn't allowed to bring that here.

I thought it was a funny error when Tricky got out of the Arwing at the end despite not having been in the temple at all, but I forgot his racist rear end just got in the trunk for the ride anyway.

wow that actually is way shittier than i remember from my primal childhood memories. the ice i mean, i actually do not remember the content of this dungeon whatsoever aside from the bike race.

man you know honestly this both feels like bafflingly early in the game and like the game can't honestly be going on much longer even though i know there's like half the loving game left. it's so devoid of actual events. nothing, like... happens in this game.

The first half of the game is much more memorable than the second half. There is A Reason for this.

I think the Ice Blast works better if you do it from first-person instead of using it while locked on to an enemy.
Even though Cloudrunner Fortress is a pretty underwhelming "dungeon" it's kind of relaxing. Like the calm before the storm that is the rest of the game.

Who knows, maybe the description they got was just "there should be a water temple" instead of "there will be a water temple. Maybe people didn't like the last one but there will be a water temple. And it won't just involve water, you will be underwater a significant portion." which is what I feel like Aonuma must put in internal memos among the Zelda team.
