The theme of lost love is so sad :( But I can't believe they used the "The town is fake" reveal for the THIRD time, oh dear. That just seemed lazy. There were several things similar to the other games - big creepy building that everyone is terrified of... etc.
I also think "we" should be given an opportunity to work out the clues ourselves - eg I thought Celeste's clue meant you had to go to the clock shop (since "Old Father" can also refer to TIME = the clock shop... I would have preferred that to the Thames Arms).
Also, why was Flora even in the story?!
There were some exceptional parts - the part where Luke runs off and is crying, thinking his friendship with the professor is over, is moving :(

Obviously Future Luke isnt really Luke at all, I figured that, but I honestly didn't know who "Clive" is, or remember him being mentioned.. (though Layton did mention a boy being orphaned from his parents in the accident in the flashback).

There really was no mention of the name "Clive" though it's possible that Layton learned it when he saved the boy in the explosion. Of course, it was only mentioned in the last scenes after the destruction of "Future" London that it was really that same boy that Layton saved. So yes, it's confusing. It's either Layton already knew that Clive was the same boy he saved, or he's psychic.

Does it hint at a new trilogy or a sequel perhaps at the end?
Also if Celeste was really Claire why couldnt she tell Layton who she was, "I didnt die in the accident" or something? Did she have to go back because that was what was "meant" to happen? That is so sad :(
Also wouldnt it have been better if Clive had kidnapped Luke instead? Imagine the face off: "You're not me, and I'll never be like you!" Epic.

I certainly hope that a trilogy of games set after UF will be made. Hopefully it will show Layton as a bit more open/not as closed off as he was in the first three games. At the end of UF, even though he went through a lot, he was happier than he was in the previous two games.

Also, Claire did die in the accident. She was just fired 10 years into the future a second before she died, and lived for a little while there. She had to return to the moment of the blast to die.

I think it would have been interesting if Clive had kidnapped Luke, but Flora is just catnip for kidnappers, apparently. She's the epitome of "kidnap fodder".

I'm just wondering - how did Clive & Dimitri get the citizens sorted out? Random comments = I find Underground London a lot easier to navigate than most other places in PL. And it's really scary how Clive looks so much like an older Luke O.O Clive shall forever be Future Luke, in my opinion.

Clive really does look like an older Luke doesnt he?
How old is Luke meant to be? I thought about 13/14 by now, but he looks/sounds about 8!
Now I think about it wouldnt it have been epic if Hershel really had become an evil genius? Did Clive come up with the idea of writing the letter at the start? He seemed to think he was really in the future as much as anyone.
Who were all the townspeople in Fake London, actors? They couldnt all have been fooled by the Evil Layton spiel.

I found UF to have the most far out/hard to believe explanation out of all the games and the movie so far. All the man power it would take to build that place and get all the actors and to make sure Layton doesn't find out where he is. Its a little crazy. More so then usual.

Claire was fired into the future by the time machine just before the explosion, but when she arrived her body started showing signs of 'molecular instability' which in English basically means that gravity/physics/whatever knew that she wasn't meant to be there, and the underdeveloped time machine couldn't bypass that. She was gradually fading away, about to be whisked back to where she was meant to be, so she simply roamed around 'Future London', knowing the inevitability of her eventual fate that no one could do anything about. And yeah, the ending does seem to hint at a sequel trilogy, as in one that takes place AFTER Unwound Future, but who knows, maybe that's what's next after the prequel trilogy, for games 7, 8 and 9. Or maybe it will turn out that the whole prequel trilogy has been a set up for that, as the past comes back to haunt them all. Nah, I think I'm getting a bit over-excited here.

Maybe in PL6 some of it will be in the past, some in the present (ie taking place after Lost Future) and be linked together

Like some case rises up and, much like Unwound Future, ties into something in the past. Who knows?

the ending had too much in common with CV. I mean a village and it's residents that weren't really what they seemed? Hmm. I liked it though, and the ending was touching. Glad I've played it.

But I didn't know Layton could use swords. Where'd he learn that?

Again with the fake village though!? Meh, I still liked it though.

Too many fake villages. St Mystere, Folsense and "Future" London. Although Folsense & "Future" London were quite sad.

Yeah, couldn't agree more. It was just unoriginal at the end, and then there's always a big building involved!

But Clive's weapon's not a building! IT'S A WEAPON!!! That looks like a tortoise on legs!

Hmm yeah, but there is also the Towering Pagoda.

I think that was taken from that movie, the Death Game or whatever it was called. Movie sucks. Instead of a fight per level, it's a puzzle per level.

THE RETURN OF DMITRI ALLEN!?!
