Layclaire week: Day 6 - Future
The presence of your absence
(perhaps this is more loosely layclaire, and not a literal ghost story - but its important to me that despite losing their future together, Hershel is still able to cultivate a fulfilling life full of love and carry his love for and the memory of Claire with him)

Round 1, Side B: Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (2008) vs Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (2010)
Professor Layton | Ghost Trick
Campaigns under the cut!
Campaign for Professor Layton:
The main theme is so MMMMMM GOD DAMNN THAT VIOLIN MAKES ME ASCEND FR and the rest of the ost is beautiful and atmospheric too. Do NOT play Time Travel within a 10 meter radius of me because I WILL start sobbing uncontrollably thanks.
Campaign for Ghost Trick:

I’m sure many others have pointed this out before, and this is certainly not the first time I ramble about it, BUT:
Notice how Clive’s parents look like Hershel and Claire.
Notice how they disappear to the right of the screen, which is symbolically associated with the future, while Layclaire exits stage left, remaining in the past.
Clive represents the child they could have had. Hence why he’s so smart he can rival our protagonist in a battle of wits. Hence why he’s saved by both Hershel and Claire at different points in his story. Hence why the mobile fortress is defeated by a simple pocket watch, the ultimate symbol of their love. Hence why he’s close to the Professor on the box, where Luke would typically be:
It’s him! Clive is their Lost Future.

LayClaire Week Day 2: Rewind
The hands turn back to that day,
an echo of who we were.
(you can’t really see it but, as a small detail, the clocks are ten hours apart to represent ten years :^))

These are the hd port versions of the recaps from all three games. I like how each one is of Luke just welcoming you back to the game with a friendly wave and smile. Like he's happy to see the player again at the beginning of the story recap and each one is just Luke riding in the respective mode of transportation.
I sure hope that this kind of recap returns for Nwos. It's a very charming way to welcome the player back and catch them up with story events. If they continue with the transportation idea I would love to see the hot-air balloon used from one of the promotional art.
