A) This is assuming this is an aspect of the game that Sakurai directly oversaw. While he has said that oversees every aspect, it's likely that he himself didn't write all of the dialogue.Hi everyone! It's been a few days since i've been here, but we had a discussion in a different forum that I wanted to bring up here. I'm not sure if it's been talked about yet, but it's an interesting tidbit nonetheless. Also, excuse me for going back to a Star Fox related discussion, I know I do it WAY too much, and it will be the last one for a while.
Ok, so does anybody remember the Lylat Cruise easter eggs? If you don't know, they were little codecs between all of the members of Star Fox, and Star Wolf that would start up when you did a repeated taunt as Fox, Falco, or Wolf. In one of these codecs, if you play as Falco, you will see a conversation between Fox, Krystal, Slippy, and Peppy, and they will talk about how the fight on screen.
At the end of the conversation, Slippy and Peppy argie that they want in on the action, but at the end, Krystal claims, "What are you two thinking? I'm the only one who could come theough in a fight like this!"
Now I know that it could be harmless banter, but it made me think: Mr. Sakurai has been known to leave hints for characters, ( take Pit's melee trophy,) and there was a time when Mr. Sakurai began work on the Star Fox franchise. What do you guys think? Could this be a pointless feature? Or even a poke at her inclusion? I'm curious to see some responses.
(CliffJumper, if you're going to respond to this, please give some reason other than what you've said before. I don't any more backlash on the subject.)
I suppose you could then argue that Sakurai could've said to the writers "Go nuts, but be sure to make Krystal say this," but I think it is just banter. I'd argue it's merely referring to the fact that Krystal has been seen fighting while Slipp and Peppy have not (excluding fighting while inside there Arwings I mean.) Krystal is, after all, the only one of them that has done actual on-screen direct combat.
B) This is assuming that the English translation caries the same meaning as the Japanese version.
I'd be curious to see the directly-translated dialogue, actually, if you can find 'em.
C) This is assuming that Sakurai does indeed leave "hints," which could just be unintentional on his part if he does indeed directly write every line of text and dialogue. And that these "hints" are always directly translated. (Or at least retain direct meaning.)
Specifically for Pit's trophy, "Will Pit ever fight again?" seems more like that it was simple observation that Kid Icarus came out more than ten years ago. Literally asking: "Hey, you know, this guy's game was a really long time ago...do you think he'll ever get another game?" Just like any other gamer would ask.
