Laytontober day 1: Puzzle
I feel like I put too much details making it hard to see that theyre all in a jigsaw puzzle… They’re all solving puzzles as well!!!
Sobs I love Ernest greeves and I wish mystery journey were written better. Like. Imagine if the whole game was just investigating the Richmond fortune so they could focus on the best storyline which was the most rushed. Jay could’ve investigated the 7 dragons much briefer while focusing on case 12, and if level 5 focused more on it they could have the villain do some really sinister plot. Not just. “Mwahahaha….. I got you to sign a contract…. take that, capitalism!” They could’ve had Ernest do some really crazy things. Follow Dr stanguns lead and slowly kidnap the 7 dragons 1 by 1, holding them hostage. Kat could investigate each one as they disappeared. Steal their money and copy des and clive: make a mech! Destroy something!! That stuffs awesome!!! Idk, literally do something with SOME concequence. It doesn’t feel like the stakes are very high when it’s literally just a piece of paper. (And setriously, the dragons gave up way too easily wtf). Discard the other cases, but keep the ideas for investigations into the dragons. Cases 10 and 11 had really good concepts (but God awful endings) so have the importance of being Ernest shown in a flashback (but change it so Ernest was framed for an actual crime!!! Let’s not have the ending be literal goat shit!!! Have someone actually steal something very very valuable!) And kat could be framed for murder while investigating case 12 (AND CHANGE THE ENDING TO THAT ONE TOO LIKE WHAT THE FUCK. YOU CAN’T JUST HAVE THEM FORGIVE THE PERSON WHO FRAMED HER AND HAVE A PICNIC TOGETHER ALL FRIENDSHIP AND RAINBOWS. HAVE SOMEONE ACTUALLY GET MURDERED, AND NOT JUST BE AN ACCIDENT.) It doesn’t even have to be murder. Like. What if Ernest got worried that she was about to find him our so he frames her for something like a valuable theft to slow her down. OR MAYBE!!! Ms. Clover could be murdered. The murderer gets away. Ernest sees it as an opportunity to slow kat down and gets her framed, making it seem as if the murderer was framing her. He’d of course be very conflicted about it because of his feelings for ms. Layton, but he wants to see his goal of destroying the dragons capitalistic lives through for his mom. Sobs I adore mystery journey and the characters and the music and the concepts but. I feel like they wanted to shove so many stories in the game and they’re all rushed, some being irrelevant and their potential wasted.
Sighs I know it’s too late for any of that because the game has been out a few years but let me dream about how it could’ve been I adore villain Ernest too much and I wish he had gone much more extreme in his villainous acts
ALSO I WISH ERNEST HADN’T GIVEN UP SO EASILY
Don’t get me wrong, I adore the line where he goes (fake hurt) “Miss… miss layton!! How could you think that i…. i…. oh, what’s the use. No doubt you’ve already figured everything anyways…. hahah, yes! It was i! You’ve hit the nail on the head as usual, miss layton.” grEAT SHIT THERE. But I also feel like. There was barely a conflict. He didn’t do ANYTHING to try to hide. Perhaps he could dance around the truth a bit longer before finally giving in. Then after he admits it he could run and cause a bit more chaos like Clive did huehehe
