I just wanted to say how
awesome I think the final prize is. It's been a looooong while since we've seen the original team mascots in-game which is always a highlight for me
(This deco is almost enough to make me break my RS retirement!)
I've always thought the mascots were super cute and getting versions of them in the games were a neat bonus. As proof of my claims here's a screenie of the gaming section of my PC shortcut bar:
Lavagirl opens Bakery Story hard drive, Jester is for Castle Story, Stormie is for RS, Sharkie is Dragon Story and the current s8 logo goes to the general drive for the other s8 games that I dabbled in over the years.
