What are you expecting from Aquaria?

[Assault]

If I may quote from a friend of another forum (I share the same opinion):

OMG OMG OMG!!
 
It's Ecco the Dolphin from the glorious Mega CD meets NiGHTS!
 
I love love love!!
 
It has the beautiful scenery and from what I heard in the video, the aweosme music from Ecco II: Tides of TIme on the Sega CD (the greatest OST for a game in the world by a long way) and the grace and fluidity of Nights him/herself!
 
If this does not come out on DS, I will be getting Emo....then buy it on PC! :3
 
I love it!

Awww, come on man, tell him not to go Emo.

Well that's what my friend thought of the game, and here's my little theory on it...

We've all seen that the protagonist has an evil side to her, and she believes that she's the last one of her species. Well this is what I think: Her good side became unconscious and totally woke up her evil side. Her evil side wrecked havoc on the aquatic city and killed all/most of the civilians. And when her good side wakes up, she has no recollection of the bad deeds her evil side did.

Where did I get this idea? Well it wouldn't be the first time the "Good and Evil" aspect has been played in fiction. Just take a look at The Incredible Hulk, Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde, and Dragon Ball (whenever a saiyan turns into monkey form).

That might be possible, but highly unlikely, because in the trailer, you see her actually singing to transform in to the "dark" form.

I would say this is easily wrong. IT's just like Wolf Link, it appears to have mainly attack capabilities and no puzzlesolving power.

A theory is that only she has this DARK MASSIVE POWER FROM HELL AND BEYOND so she was placed far away to avoid causing destruction to her civilization, so now, she's gonna come back and cap asses.

Cap asses 

I have a little question. In the biggie screenshot, Naija holds on to a seahorse. So i am assuming you can sort of travel on different underwater fauna? If so, do the creatures wander to different parts of aquaria?

For example, you hang on to a fish/seahorse/anythinglivingyoucantakeaholdon, and go to take a crap, but forget to pause. When you come back, you are still hanging on the creature, but in a totally different place than when you left.

Now I'm thinking, too. It looks a bit like Maplestory, right?


I was wondering if there'd be ways of making it monochrome now, using video card effects. That'd be cool, but weird. :/

It's not an evil form, it's called "Energy Form". Also, she has more than one form she is capable of morphing into.
Here is a quote from Derek:
"Some concept art of the main character from Aquaria, Naija, in normal form and

[p3ter_st0ry]

Wow!!! I hope Derek and Alec reveal more about the plot soon, I can't wait!!!

[Zeno]

I want a romantic encounter between Naija and Abe Sapien.

[shinygerbil]

How long before we see a "nekkid Naija" mod?  o.o

What are you expecting from Aquaria?

A release date

And a french translation! 

[Glamador]

Dude Chibi...was that really necessary?

[Danger Mouse]

I think he's just trying to get his forum counter up higher by leaving pointless posts. But at least he has a good sense of humor.

[silverflagon]

Guys: listen to the news: it's been out for months! (Just messing with you  )

Chibi wake up man and stop reading old news, it's 2008 now you know lol

[Chibi]

I like to make jokes like that; it's a guilty habit (and no, I wasn't trying to bump up posts; in fact, I haven't looked at my counter for three days)

Ok, that post is gone now. 

{Edit} My post rate was about 11 a day, I've gotten it down to about 3.5 (below Silverflagon's)
