I kinda wanna make an effortpost on the camera work in Klonoa: Door to Phantomile and how it's integral to the experience of the game in a way that few games at the time were taking advantage of.

I'm not necessarily qualified to do so but when I look online most of what I see focuses on the 2.5d system itself and doesn't emphasize things like using nonstandard angles to build anticipation towards a future destination, or the angles used outside of gameplay during cutscenes that aren't tied by 2.5d at all. It's all soo good!!!!

reposting this ratatan klonoa because yea!!!

i think it's pretty crazy that despite both being made by completely different companies, NiGHTS and klonoa are extremely similar in terms of its aesthetic, setting and overall charm. plus that these two are sorta the only ones of its kind in video games,

and i love them both cuz of it!
