Anyone else going to completely fan girl over this game?

[WeepingAngel1]

Ok, so I must say that this game is making me fan girl like crazy.

First, we get Sonny Joon! How long we have waited for him to make an appearance, and I was kind of giving up on the fact that we'd see him since TMB, but here he is!

2) Since the game is taking place in New Zealand, I wonder how many LOTR references HeR is going to throw in there. Maybe like a phone charm which has a reference or something, or have one of the characters mention something about it...

3) I absolutely LOVE the soundtrack, it's probably my second favorite Thomas Reign soundtrack behind SPY. It sounds so peaceful and calm.

4) I may be the only one to notice this, but the contestants (Besides Nancy, Bess, and George) are all different races, which I think is something clever that HeR did and it makes the cast of characters seem so realistic!

5) I am also fan girling over the new design of Bess and the new voice of George!

6) Pay CLOSE attention to towards the end of the trailer, you can see that George and Nancy are standing back to back, but of course Nancy is on the back and you can't see her face, but you CAN see her hair and back!

All in all, I'm so excited for this game! What do you guys think?

I am really excited for this game! I can't wait to see Sonny Joon, from a quote of his from the trailer, he seems like a really enjoyable character.

With this game set in New Zealand, I really wished I didn't stopped reading the books. I read The Hobbit and the first book though.

I love Geogre's new design, but I think Bess's design doesn't suit her, I think she looks a little tomboyish, her apperence in ASH suited her better.

I don't have the soundtrack, but someone on Tumblr leaked it so I got to listen to it, HER does a good job with setting the theme with songs.

[WeepingAngel1]

Really? I didn't see that in the new Bess, I will always like the ASH Bess though!

Yeah, I saw the soundtrack on Tumblr too, but I still bought it!

Also, based on the trailer, am I the only one who totally ships Bess and Sonny? They have similar personalities!

[Grace2000]

I can see why you would think that, it's just her apperence, she's wearing brown and pig tails, it jsut seems a bit tomboyish to me.

Hm, they do have simliar personalities, but I think Bess would get a bit bored or annoyed with Sonny's alien obbesion. But she will probably think he's cute. Also, Sonny seems a bit of a bachelor to me.

I'm pretty excited about this game too! It seems like it'll be really fun! HER always puts so much effort into their games, I know it's going to be awesome to see what they've created.

What race is Patrick and Leena?

[WeepingAngel1]

I think maybe Patrick is British since he plays Rugby and I don't think Leena's is stated, but she doesn't look american.

Ohmygoodness I didn't see that at first but now that you say it I totally agree!

At first I wasn't all in for this game but now that I saw the preview and some of the screencaps on Facebook I can't wait!! I mean, really SONNY JOON!!!! This so gonna rock!

I so hope they put in some LOTR references that would be awesome!

Holy crackers I am major fangirling right now!

Maybe, but we're speaking of nationalities here. The term "race" is quite inappropriate...
Also, rugby is an international sport with teams in New Zealand that are pretty popular (the All Blacks or Kiwis and their famous dance/war cry called Haka), so Patrick could simply be a New Zealander.
Rugby is not necessarily related to Britain, it is quite limiting, and I think it is more likely that Patrick is the symbol of the New Zealand sport culture rather than anything else.

I thought we were talking of ethnicity.
I saw nothing and/or don't remember hearing in the trailer, any mention of either one.

4) I may be the only one to notice this, but the contestants (Besides Nancy, Bess, and George) are all different races, which I think is something clever that HeR did and it makes the cast of characters seem so realistic!

I just wondered how one came to this conclusion.

[WeepingAngel1]

We won't know for sure until the game is out, but I just thought that they were different.... It was really just a guess which I came up with after viewing the profiles.

Yes, I meant ethnicity.
