Talk:Ecco the Dolphin (Genesis)


 * Ed Annunziata said that this was the answer to a question put on earlier in the game, "Why do dolphins live in the sea?". These glyphs were meant to be ancestors to Ecco, but due to time constraints, they were simply moved out of the way.

I have to disagree with this; they're not unused. Sonar will show them easily, and they're easily reached (and not stuffed offscreen or even deleted, which would've been easier). Their placement makes sense when you consider it, too; you're sonaring up and out of the water, so the beings on land hear it (hence the messages). It's a neat little nod to Ecco's changes to the stream of time, much like the Asterite's missing globe. It's cool trivia (and not worth removing, maybe just rewording) but it's far from unused/deleted. -- Xkeeper (talk) 12:38, 28 June 2012 (EDT)
 * I can see why you think that, but something's wrong here: I can't see them with the sonar, no matter which angle I try. I even tried activating the sonar while above water, but they simply won't appear inside the sonar's sphere. (Unless you don't mean the echolocation map). And it's a bit hard to hit them anyway. If you're on the water's surface, aim up+left/right and sing, it won't reach them, you need to make a high jump and sing a bit horizontally, into the wall. I'm not too sure I want to consider them "unused" but... I don't think they were fully intended either. {EspyoT} 14:36, 28 June 2012 (EDT)

Unused tracks
Tracks 06 and 12 are both used in the Japanese version. Track 06 is used in Cold Water, and Track 12 is used in the first version of Open Ocean. --Kahran042 02:33, 23 August 2012 (EDT)
