Title: running man/post man
Post by: chicknumber2 on January 01, 2007, 09:47:55 AM
who here likes the running man/post man in tp ?

i think he's funny and cool when he shouts for you and gives you the letters ,his voice is cool and he's funny better than the one in OoT and MM .

So what do you think of the running man in twilight princess ?

The Postman from MM had a lot more personality than this one (at least what I've seen so far), and you're sorta forgetting the postman (who has a very similar model to the other postmen) of WW, of the Rito tribe.

Anyway, you see the guy panic, and lose himself, to him the schedule's everything, and he's really obsessive-compulsive that way. It just shows a lot of character when you see how much emotion he's able to give off, it's such a wide range. Pity that this isn't so much for TP... with most of the characters at least. B/C in MM, you saw the characters happy, remorseful, timid, afraid, and so many many other emotions, oftentimes in the same character. But I'm not getting that bond with the characters of TP, at least not just yet, it just seems that only a relative few actually show their broad range of emotions, like Colin and some of the children...

I have respect for the MM Postman. His punctuality and hard-working was just remarkable, even when he wouldn't flee and the moon was about to fall. He just stood his ground, trying to follow his schedule. That, my friends, gives respect.

The TP Postman, on the other hand, doesn't show as much devotion to his schedule like his MM counterpart. I think he's mainly for some of the comic relief of the game. But it's not like there's anything wrong with that, though; it's just a strange turn of personalities.

I respect him for being the only character not from the storyline that Nintendo truly recycled in this game. I like the whole "trying to be new" thing, but c'mon! No Lon Lon Ranch? Tingle? Chinese salesman (whatever his name is).......anyone?

I don't really like how he has changed, since this is bad for the connection with Koboli (Rito). However, I love the reference to giving his ancestor(?) the Bunny Hood (or am I the only one who saw it?). And the fact he's everywhere (gotta search) and apparently recognizes Link in his wolf form or something. I think he placed a tracking device on him the first time they spoke, or it was contained in the letter.

And he dropped a letter in the hotsprings!

Also, Darkphantom... (you have a difficult name), Nintendo made several mini-quests for several characters in MM, and so they had to put more detail into a few. Now, though, because I don't think there are that many like that, they didn't need to put extra detail in characters. Further more, I....

wait, did you say no Tingle?!?!?!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111oneoneexclamationpoint

Yeah, in MM he seems to actually have a life, and an office. In TP he just pops in every now and again, you cant even spot him running across Hyrule Field like in OoT.

I think he's lame in TP. Rather annoying, though his lameness and stupidity ("might as well feed this filthy letter to the goats ...") humors me.

And what's this about a bunny hood reference? I missed that one.

I found him in Telma's once, he was looking at the menu and it was funny, he was squatting like Gollum and turning his head this way and that, and turning the menu.

So far I've found him in one of the houses of Kakariko trying to dry off the letter he dropped and in Telma's I'm still trying to find him in other places.

I found him in four different places. But there might be more.

Anyway, didn't see the bunny pictures on his cap and flag? That's a very obvious one.
