Rock and roll will never die
Hello everyone. It's been a long time since I've created a thread, particularly a Zelda one, so I apologise if this has been done before and/or this is phrased badly.
Anyway. I was watching some Let's Plays of Skyward Sword and an unerring theme both in the commentary of those doing said LPs and the comments, and also what I found in my own experience, is that it doesn't feel as if you spend much time exploring the Eldin region in comparison to Faron and Lanayru.
I don't know if this is technically true if you were to note exact gameplay minutes or anything, but I think you'd find it true looking at both the main plot and sidequests throughout the game. I personally felt like I spent sooooo much time in Lanayru, both because it just felt a lot bigger and because the game seems to bring you back there so often for whatever reason. I also felt like Faron took up a lot more time, what with the Kikwi sidequest, the general size of the area and number of moblins you come across and fight, the Skyview Temple, helping the Water Dragon, Ancient Cistern, and so on and so forth. It just seems like you spend a lot of time doing various different things there, and the same with Lanayru. However, although Eldin was also large, I didn't feel like you spent a whole lot of time exploring it. You seem to only really do parts of the mainquest there, barring finding various objects.
Personally, I liked the missions set out there like getting back your items, and thought the area was very atmospheric, which makes a change because I usually dislike fire areas. However, I definitely felt like they could have done more with it.
So what are your feelings? Would you use Eldin more if you could? And do you have any ideas how you would do that?
