Klonoa:DtP and Klonoa2:LV are the only Klonoa games I played but they have brought many happy moments in my life. But this is not about me.

I would like to know, what the Klonoa games mean to you? What impact did they have on you?

Well, quite a bit, tbh. It was one of the first games that I played that at the time I didn't care if it was "too cute" I loved the characters and the interactions between them. They clearly mean a lot for me to run a Klonoa forum after all this time XD. And then even beyond the games, the community also drove something better for me. I met some of my best friends from just the love of this game.

Thanks for the answers  :)

I find really fascinating the impact that something can have on a person, especially when it is a positive kind of impact. And I find fascinating when people create communities/forums around that thing too, how people create connections thanks to the liking/love of that thing, or create Youtube channels where they make videos for the other people to see or just create something in general.

Also sorry for the late answer  x_x

I've thought about this question for a little while. I guess PS1 Klonoa DtP was the reason I stopped heavily ignoring games with cute facades. Not to say DtP was immensely cute but I had been playing Unreal Tournament and other aggressive games since forever that in order to give DtP a chance I had to jump across my game preference spectrum.

DtP essentially was the tipping point that broke down barriers and my immediate apprehension to playing certain games. Before DtP I really only ever dedicated a my gaming to fast paced games; DtP showed me things can slow down a lot and still be enjoyable. DtP on the PS1 also demonstrated that cute wasn't life threatening.

Subsequently the Klonoa series is probably why I gave MLP:FiM more of a chance when my bro recommended it shortly after launch. And I would have never given New Super Lucky's Tale a chance without having jumped my preference spectrum beforehand.

I still wince when the cute meter is high but I survive.  :hey:
