Is the Relic Arc from the Lady Layton anime worth the watch?

I've been thinking about watching the Relic Arc from the Lady Layton anime as I have finished the game not too long ago. I know that it's mostly divided by the fan base as Lady Layton as a game isn't too popular but I heard that the anime wasn't too bad. I know only a little bit of the arc as I saw a few clips of it.

I know about what happens to Luke and Professor Layton but not the whole storyline besides from that. I'm thinking about watching it as Nwos might be connected depending on what Level5 decides to do with the series.

AQUA: -GASP-

CYTO: Dang, look at this place! Can’t believe I was right. That almost never happens.

ORCHID: Aqua, when we finish up here, I’m going to fucking kill you

PALI: I can hardly see anything.

[Aqua casts Transfrom]

AQUA: Allow me to help! 

ORCHID: What’s with you and transforming today?

AQUA: I’m in a transformy mood.

ASK: what’s “Homeland”, Aqua?

AQUA: Homeland was the birthplace of all mews. Of all life! It’s where me, Orchid, and 149 of us other origin mews woke up from our dreamless sleep. It feels like a lifetime ago.

ORCHID: Ugh, spare me the nostalgia trip. Can we go? I don’t wanna spend all day in a dank cave.

PALI: Despite the water damage, I’m really surprised by how intact it is for a 9000 year old settlement.

ORCHID: Well are we gonna just stand here and dick around or are we getting your little trinket?

PALI: Yeah yeah, hold on. Okay let me think... According to my notes, that entrance should lead us straight to the relic. I guess... here goes nothing.

Smallest things that could have made bad plot points within the dumb relics plotline be sliiightly less bad #1452532

Atlas has The Choice relic instead of The Creation Relic

Ruby and Ironwood both end up seeing completely different outcomes of the exact same choice in their future. Both end up convinced that the other's decisions will cause the Kingdom to fall and Salem to get the relic.

Two desperate people faced with destruction and death of yet another Kingdom as they refuse to listen to the suggestions of their teams and are one hundred percent relying on that incomplete information a magic mcguffin provided them with.

In reality, either of them enacting their plan would have saved the Kingdom and the relic and been a success. Both clashing with each other is what ended up messing everything up in the first place as they indivertibly sabotaged each other's chances at succeeding.

As the Kingdom falls apart around them, each RWBY Member ends up using the relic and combining the information from random choices of their futures to formulate a seemingly impossible plan of how to save everyone in the Kingdom.

The cost of saving everyone ends up being that the entire team is missing in the destruction, and the relic ends up in Cinder's hands(instead of Salem directly), which leads to Cinder using it and seeing something she doesn't like, which sets up eventual Salem's downfall.

The endpoint is similar-ish but less dumb and less offensive. The missing team are hailed as saviors and martyrs. Everyone who knows what happened with the relic is inspired to put aside their differences. Ruby gets to grapple with how her decisions almost messed everything up.

#rwby #rwde #ruby rose #james ironwood #Yes the whole two gods nonsense is still a giant mess in this scenario but at least Atlas arc would have had a slightly better landing #One of many reasons on why I just gave up on the two gods subplot in the rewrite altogether is because solving one issue leaves you withmor #The relics and gods subplot is the Gordian Knot of the narrative messups

[lipeg]

Wrong place? Oh no PERFECT PLACE!!!

Jaune and Juniper were the first to leave this hell.

Jaune and Juniper didn't go in Vacuo.

The two left at the beacon tower.

Juniper changed of from, she became a child again.

Jaune had returned to the age when he was 25 years old.

Before them stood one of the most powerful Grimms, Wyvern.

The same one that turned Ruby to stone.

Here he was.

A stone figure in a crumbling tower.

Jaune: This is the first time we have met in person

Jaune started walking towards the stone statue.

Jaune: You were responsible for the death of the woman who loved me

His expression was pure anger.

Jaune: You are a creature of pure evil, without any emotions, without any thoughts of your own, without a soul! A mere puppet to be used by this woman

Jaune now stood before the mighty Wyvern.

Jaune cracked a smile.

Jaune: Now you only serve me

Jaune's aura only manifested in his right hand.

Jaune raised his arm, reaching for the wyvern's nose, placing his hand on the beast's nose.

Jaune: Came back to life as my Wyvern Hollow

Jaune's aura began to spread throughout the dead Wyvern's body, the statue began to crack, and a strong white light began to emanate from the cracks.

The statue began to shake. Cracks began to appear and pieces of stone began to fall.

Until the Wyvern statue exploded.

RRROOOAAAARRRRRR!!!!

The Wyvern came back to life.

Black gave way to white.

White gives way to blue.

Red gave way to gold.

This Wyvern was completely different, now this beast was more beautiful, more elegant .

The Wyvern lowered its head and closed its eyes.

The Wyvern knelt before Jaune.

Jaune's petting the Wyvern.

The beast was happy.

Jaune placed his hands on either side of the Wyvern's nose.

The beast opened its eyes.

Jaune: Go to Vacuo and recover my family relic

Jaune turned away from the Wyvern.

The Wyvern spread its wings and let out a mighty roar.

The Wyvern took flight and headed for Vacuo.

Jaune soon saw his first child fly away.

Jaune looked down at Juniper, who was standing near the edge.

Jaune: Juniper

The Jackalope turned and looked at his master.

Jaune: Go have some fun girl, I'm looking for a deal

Juniper jumped down from the tower.

Beacon's old academy was a new home for Grimms.

This fiery hurricane came out of nowhere.

A fiery beast emerged from the hurricane of fire.

Juniper in its true form.

The Grimms began to back away from what was in front of him.

It was his natural predator.

Jaune opened the elevator door with pure brute force.

Looking down, he saw only a seemingly endless fall.

He pulled out his broken sword and uttered words in a strange and probably dead language.

The sword and scabbard are back to normal.

Blade repaired and scabbard cleaned.

He drove the blade into the wall and held on to the hilt, the weight of his body doing the rest.

The descent was very fast, but faster than taking the elevator.

Until he suddenly stopped, without understanding anything.

He looked at the wall and saw nothing different.

But we are talking about Ozpin.

Concentrating the aura in his eyes, he managed to make the wall magical.

Jaune: Well done, Ozpin, for sealing the relic room with magic

With his other free hand, he placed it on the wall and felt the magic.

He gathered his aura in his fist.

He broke the seal Ozpin had put on the wall with all his strength.

The hole in the wall opened, and with the aura concentrated in his hand, he held it against the wall.

He drew his sword and stepped into the hole he had made for himself.

Sheathed your sword. His aura was concentrated in his leg.

He took off running like a bullet, running in a hall that was a line without any light.

In just a few seconds, he had reached his destination.

A large golden door with the symbol of the Kingdom of Vale.

Jaune: Behind this door is the main relic

Jaune stood up straight and walked calmly to the door.

Jaune: The relic of knowledge, allows you to ask 3 questions, but you have to wait 100 years before you can ask the next question. After the 3 questions have been asked, the relic becomes useless.

Jaune: The Relic of Creation, who can create anything the user desires. However, the user must be thoroughly detailed, but she forbidden from resurrecting the dead and cannot destroy. Also, she can only be used for one task at a time, as the previous creation will be destroyed the moment a new one is created.

Jaune: The relic of destruction, a sword that destroys everything, even a person's soul, preventing them from entering the realm of the dead, and the only one who can destroy destiny.

Jaune faced the door.

His two fists were clenched, his aura manifested in his arms, his aura turned into something resembling metal.

Jaune destroyed this door with his fists, which were covered by his aura.

The big door was now in pieces.

Jaune: Relic of Choice, which allows you to see several different futures depending on the user's choices

On a stone pedestal, a golden crown floated in the air.

Jaune: It's really a shame that he can't be here

Jaune took the crown.

Jaune: To see everything he did was useless

Jaune put the crown on his head.

Jaune: I won, Ozma

Ruby was not happy at all.

She and her team chose the worst possible time to return.

Vacuo was being attacked by an army of Grimms.

To make matters worse for Team RWBY, they had no ammunition.

Ruby It didn't have its special cartridges.

Weiss there was no fragment of dust.

Blake and Yang were out of ammo for his weapons! Yang needed ammunition for her gloves.

Even with the help of the soldiers left over from Atlas and the hunters from Vacuo, the battle was complicated.

Still, it wasn't enough.

Ruby stopped to rest, it was Grimms that never stopped

RRROOOAAAARRRRRR!!!!

Everyone looked up and saw Wyvern Hollow coming.

Yang: SON OF A BITCH!!!

The Wyvern Hollow began spitting blue fire at everyone on the battlefield.

The Wyvern Hollow passed through the city walls, heading for the Academy of Vacuo, which was located in the center of the city.

Ruby looked at everything with fear, that Wyvern was at the top of the academy, it was a pyramid, Wyvern raised his head, you could see he had gathered a huge amount of heat.

In a moment of despair.

Ruby: NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

The silver eyes have been activated.

A gigantic light covered the battlefield, blinding everyone on the battlefield.

All the Grimms turned to stone, surprising everyone.

Sun: She could do this all the time!

Ruby fell to the ground, tired from the overuse of her silver eyes.

But...

Weiss: Ruby didn't work!

Ruby was confused, she looked at Weiss and then turned her attention to where Weiss was pointing.

The Wyvern Hollow did not turn to stone.

And he had a blue fireball in his mouth.

The Wyvern Hollow lowered its head and fire came out of its mouth, the blue flames destroyed everything in its path.

Ruby couldn't believe what was in front of her.

The Wyvern Hollow entered Vacuo's academy. It spat out its blue fire, melting everything in its path.

Ruby felt useless now, tired, weak, his magic eyes didn't help in the end, because one survived and now Vacuo's academy was destroyed.

Ruby fainted from exhaustion, but she could only see one thing before she passed out.

She saw that the Wyvern was catching something with its mouth, for it was holding something that glowed very brightly and was black in color.

One thing came into his mind.

Deaged Oz AU - Crossing The Bridge... Or Not - Part 1

“And you’re certain you can trust the relic to get us to Vacuo?” Yang asked, staring at Tip, who shuffled slightly, biting his lip.

“I mean, mostly? They like creating things, and this would give them a challenge. But… if he gives you a warning, you have to listen to him. If you don’t, there could be very bad consequences. He might not necessarily tell you everything, either… you’ll need to listen very carefully and follow instructions precisely. I should really go with you, but…” he broke off, glancing down at his left leg in vague despair. It had healed, mostly… but the travel down to the vault was long and he wasn’t certain it would hold up for it, much less the trip back. He really hated feeling this useless, but… besides. There was too great a risk that Ambrosius would be distracted by sheer hilarity. After all, it wasn’t often that Oz was in a state this vulnerable and as far as he was aware, this one was unique. He both was and wasn’t Ozma, not fully, not yet. And yet, he’d also never really stopped being. The risk was far too great that Ambrosius, being who and what he was, would find Tip the more intriguing puzzle.

“Hey, Pocketsized. We’ll be okay. I promise we’ll listen, you don’t have to worry about us. Will you be okay, here? I know we’re not all going, but Salem already snatched you once, what if she tries to again?” Blake sounded concerned, reaching out to ruffle Tip’s hair without really thinking about it. Tip let her without commenting, which drove home just how worried he really was about this. But then, after what happened with Jinn, could any of them really blame him?

“She’s unlikely to try it in the same way. I just worry, especially since she already has the lamp. She could easily use it to try to thwart us and if that happens, I can’t even help you. Not really, not like this.” He sighed, looking very young in that moment, the inch or so showing at his wrists just lending itself more to the overwhelming image of confused youth. They all knew it was misleading but… Tip was really rather adorable when he did that, not that he’d be very happy to be reminded of it.

Those going exchanged glances, then Ruby shot a reassuring smile over at him. Penny just nodded, head cocked slightly. She still found it rather fascinating that this small boy was, or rather had been Professor Ozpin. She was aware of magic, of course. Not only had the General informed her of such, she was the current winter maiden. She hadn’t been built to believe in magic and fairy tales, but her father had intended her to grow. This was certainly growth of a sort, right?

Tip sighed as they left, still looking deeply conflicted. He should be there! He should be the one to talk to Ambrosius, he knew him far better than the others did. While creating a way to Vacuo would no doubt intrigue him, the relic could so easily trick anyone they talked to. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the others, of course he did… but they were still going to converse with someone who might not have their best wishes in mind. After Jinn… were the relics as tired of this as he was? What if, in the end, he allowed something to happen in the sheer hopes of being allowed to be free? After all, they were just as chained to the whims of the brothers as he himself was, and with even less freedom. At least he could move around on his own, wasn’t trapped in a vessel waiting. Why had that never even occurred to any of the previous versions, though? Surely, if it was as obvious as he thought it was, then they would have known by now? Would have set something up, at least enough that the four could have some semblance of lives of their own?

After all, even Ozma had never known just where the relics came from, what they originally were. What if they really were just as trapped as he was, was it possible to free them? Could he free them, did he dare, considering Salem?

Was it fair, to keep them trapped like that though? No, of course it wasn’t. They deserved their freedom… he really hated the Brothers, at times like this.

“Tip?” Oscar ventured, voice soft. “They’ll be alright, you know they will! Ruby knows what she’s doing, so do the others. It’ll be fine!”

“I can only hope that it will, Oscar. I just… they need to be incredibly careful in how they word this request, he’s likely to take things very, very literally. I should be there!”

“No way, Pocketsized.” Jaune interjected, looking stern. “Salem almost killed you, you’re not up to the journey. You know that, you know they’ll be okay!”

“And if they’re not? If something happens because they don’t say the right thing, or make slightly the wrong request?”

“Then we’ll deal with that when it happens. We need to get everybody to Vacuo, you know that.” Jaune sighed. “We’re hunters, Tip. We knew what we were signing up for. I know we’re young, but so are you, you’re eleven years old! I know the wizard doesn’t count, but you do. Putting yourself in danger when the others can and have volunteered for this, you realise we’d just worry more, right?”

“You are my students, Jaune. I should be the one protecting you, not the other way around. I know that I’m young physically, but still… I should be protecting the rest of you. If something goes wrong here, it falls on my shoulders. If I hadn’t been quite so, well, helpless, Salem would never have been able to snatch me in the first place. The injuries I carry are a direct result of my own stupidity.”

“NO, Tip.” Oscar sounded deeply frustrated now, glaring at the younger boy hotly. Tip flinched slightly, but met his eyes, his own self hatred burning bright. “Salem snatched you from Atlas. You were meant to be safe there, we all were. It isn’t your fault that she snatched you, you aren’t weak for being injured. Look, I know, you’re used to being stronger than you are right now. But if you plan to protect us, then you have to let us protect you, too. It goes both ways, we care about you! You matter, Tip. Why else would you be my brother?”

“… I know!” Nora interjected, brightly. “Why don’t we all just calm down and eat something. Pancakes, maybe?” She shot a hopeful look to Ren, who rolled his eyes but got up to make them anyway. Some of the tension in the room faded at that, though Tip’s shoulders were still stiff, his face still anguished. It didn’t matter what any of them were going to say, really, though. If anything happened to his students, everybody would just blame him anyway. He was the one responsible, ultimately. Oh, why had he let them go and talk to Ambrosius alone?

“So, you need a path to Vacuo, a way to get everybody from one kingdom to another quickly? I could probably do that…” Ambrosius murmured, amusement in his voice. “However… just don’t fall.”

Yang huffed as they all made their way back to the others who were waiting for them. That could probably have gone better, though at least Penny was human now? Somehow, though she was unsure what Pocketsized would make of that… after all, they had had a specific mission and that wasn’t really it. But then, with her human she couldn’t be controlled anymore. Nobody could tell her to do anything but herself. For a second, an image of Tip being controlled by the creepy wizard dude flashed across her mind, but she shook her head. It wasn’t the same thing, right? Ambrosius was a smug bastard, though. She really, massively didn’t like him.

From the looks the others were exchanging, that feeling appeared to be very, very mutual. He’d set up the path, though. They’d get there, they’d get to Vacuo. Everything would be okay, though she could see why the Professor was so worried. Maybe he really should have come along? Nah… they’d done just fine on their own.

Ruby’s nose twitched as they neared the rooms the others were currently occupying. Could she smell pancakes? Huh, maybe she was just hungry after dealing with the relic. Pancakes would be really nice right about now, though.

There were definitely pancakes, lots of them, though it was slightly harder to enjoy them while being peppered by Tip’s anxious questioning. At least he’d seemed relatively relieved by what Ambrosius had set up regarding the pathway to Vacuo? He kept giving Penny confused looks, too, and Yang snorted to herself. She’d totally called it, he really wasn’t that impressed.

Tip shifted in his seat, biting his lip nervously. He knew better than anyone the sort of loopholes Ambrosius left in the requests he actually agreed to answer.

Don’t fall.

But then, how hard could that really be?

alright big obnoxious nwos ideas factory has returned im so sorry. and just a disclaimer before i start this isn't something i expect to happen at all its just something i'd want to see

so i know ppl are mixed about whether or not they think lmj/lmda should be retconned in nwos, personally i don't think it should, mostly bc i see hilarious potential in steam bison being where luke and marina first meet. marina IS from america so its not impossible

cause like i LOVE the idea of marina and luke starting off as rivals, like maybe marina was steam bison's original puzzle solving golden child but now theres this horrible little bri'ish boy that's her age that is hogging her limelight and marina and luke become rivals immediately on who can solve more puzzles to invent more things for steam bison

and then when layton enters the picture marina is like "whats wrong triton are you so terrified of my studious whimsy that you had to ask your grampappy for help" which just fires luke up even more

and maybe make some team rocket shit with it where if you quit on a puzzle marina has a chance to steal it from you or some shit which will add an incentive to keep players from giving up too easily lest marina spawn in to roast you

and then eventually throughout the story marina and luke just kind of fall into working together because above their rivalry they realize their main goal has always been helping steam bison and even though they cannot stop bickering no matter what they bond over that common goal

and then idk maybe at the end of the game luke is like "blimey marina you sure were ace back there golly crikey i gotta say you really are knockout with puzzles" and marinas just like "your insufferable squirrely britishness is growing on me like a fungus. i guess there are worst things in this world than us working together"

and like then idk maybe layton sees himself and claire in them, but in like a good, non-traumatic way. and that gives him peace with her and allows him to leave steam bison feeling like luke has found his own way, which is all he wanted for him throughout the game

and that ending could like explain how luke and marina ended up solving mysteries together as stated in lmda, and is nwos does well you could have luke and marina as older teenagers in future entries and develop them from friends who work together to the cringefail unemployed malewife and longcon cult-infiltrating girlblogger they are in lmda

idk i just really want to see them do more with marina because as fucking boss as it was for her to pretend to be a cultist for over a decade just to save her loser husband in lmda, they never really showed the determination and bite in her personality that it would take to do that. i want them to take her out of the anime wife personality box they put her in during lmda and make something of her

#back in the day when everyone threw a fit about marina's existence i white knighted for her hard #the issue was never with marina herself it was just a symptom of the same problem layton has always had with writing women #coupled with the fact that lmda didnt give a single shit about character depth or personality beyond kat ernest and sherl #and even that was sparse and shallow and made with only children in mind #the relic stone side story should not have been a side story it should've been its own story/game #which i hope they'll do if nwos succeeds #like we have the prequel arc the original arc now do a sequel arc starting with nwos #and break the mold that fucked up characters like flora massively #as cool as it would be to see emmy again im fine with her also being succeeded by characters like marina #but they really need to make her a character first especially since she is luke's love interest #and nwos is kind of implying luke will be on a path to succeeding layton and growing so like. yeah #anyway sorry for this massive word vomit sometimes i just wake up like. layton time #professor layton #professor layton and the new world of steam #pl #pl nwos #new world of steam #luke triton #marina triton #hershel layton #lmda #lmj #long post #ramble

Ozpin: No, I'm the one who's honored to be in the presence of such a hero.

Jaune: ...Well, maybe it was your teaching that led me to become the hero I am.

currently the house of mystery is only canon in his JLD verse but i gotta say, the symbolism of giving john constantine ownership of the house of cain, with all his family hang-ups? chef's fucking kiss for that one.

i do like to think that he ends up owning the house of mystery eventually in the main verse, because it would be an eventual solution to his endlessly unstable housing situation and i think he'd breathe a lot easier if he had a sanctum of a sort, but it definitely takes a while to come into his hands. post-hellblazer, pre-sandman universe presents in timeline speak. the man is 70, he deserves some interdimensional storage space and a reliable ("reliable") place to sleep.

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS. #(oingo boingo vc) IN THE HOUSE OF CAAAAAAAAIN #cain and abel imagery has been fucking haunting me lately and i don't know why #but anyway gracie (asteritm) pointed out how much sense it would make if he had the house and i have Not stopped thinking about it #AND the fact that any occult kit he needs is stored in the lock-up in england. so if he needs it elsewhere he's gotta go digging #(yes i know he lit the lock-up on fire but he got a new one and is restocking ok. i love him using chas's storage space it's special to me) #like right now he's still hopping from flat to flat and jetsetting all over the world looking to solve magical problems he needs his stuff #he can't keep haunting midwestern antique stores looking for relics his allergies are fucking killing him #so i like to think that eventually the house of mystery does end up in his hands! #mayhaps i will put it in another arc who can say

XIV - Temperance (Reversed)

A forgotten castle rises from the sand, and with it comes a plague.

A sudden sandstorm brews, forming an impenetrable barrier that swallows all of the Desert Resort.

Spiked rocks form at the foot of the castle, and centuries old stone sentries awaken from their slumber.

A flurry of winged beasts soar into the skies of Nimbasa and Castelia, led by an angel of death- an avianoid independent of its flock. 

As ghosts and angels plague the city of the skies, the Sigilyph leader finds The Heart amidst the chaos.

He stands still in the intersection, his gaze empty as he stares back at the foreign creature.

For the first time in a thousand years, a light of hope shines upon the guardians of the Relic Castle, and Sigilyph happily calls upon its faithful companion.

A hole of inky black opens in front of The Heart, and a Cofagrigus emerges.

Before the false heroes are able to react, shadowy hands wrap around The Heart’s limp body and take him inside the coffin, sending him to a deep sleep, unable to hear the screams of his companions.

The sandstorm rages even as the kingdom’s knights claim their treasure. They leave the cities to rot as they take The Heart back to the castle, where he belongs.

The false Hero of Truth, in all his foolishness, rides the white dragon in pursuit.
