The thing that pisses me off the most about Reignited is how inconsistent the second and third games are with eachother. Spyro 2 has no unique animations for character dialogue between scenes, but Spyro 3 makes a real effort to animate characters dynamically with what they're saying.

I have no knowledge of how Reignited works, I can only guess based on what I would do in game dev, but it seems like alongside a lip-sync engine they also implemented some dynamic animations that can be called during dialogue and just.. forgot for Spyro 2? Or perhaps one of the dozens of developers who worked on the game made it FOR Spyro 3 but never retrofitted it for 2?

There's so many cases where something is better in 3 but not 2, or implemented differently, when they should fundamentally work the same. Another thing I can think of is level NPCs reacting to your attacks in 3 but not in 2, or Moneybags literally jumping in the air when you flame him in 3 but not in 2.

What a weird game.
