Answering your Splatoon 3 questions

[@GGGabrielGaming]

I could listen to vian talk about splatoon 3 for hours he just has a very relaxing voice

[@Red_glitter6]

Where's the the cap, exactly none found.

[@octonia6782]

Hi gab

[@corruptedteka]

I agree, and that's surprising because Splatoon ISN'T one of my current obsessions.

[@amelia_chapman]

Agreed 😂

[@TurKlack]

The one thing that makes me love Splatoon so much (although I haven't played it for years) is the worldbuilding. Everything about Splatoon makes me wish to *live there* . Hell I even go into the Arena Maps solo and just take the atmosphere in. It is amazing to have just the... world sounds instead of funky music. I really hope they don't change that in Splatoon 3.

[@Owen_005]

On the topic of idols Wouldn’t it be cool if the idols were underground pirate radio hosts? That would fit with the grunge mad max feel of Splatoon 3 imo (Tho tbf there is the problem of the splatlands being a place of chaos making a pirate radio station illegal in the first place wouldn’t make much sense)

[@joemommaoramma7090]

i am 99% sure that this was an idea in that fanmade sploon 3 remake

[@PinkPixelProductions]

[@Owen_005]

@@joemommaoramma7090 aw man thought I came up with somethin Original there. Still think it’s a good idea

[@GlitchyOnAChair]

it would ve nice if we had at least a male idol and yknow how both idols in splatoons 1 were squids the 2nd game had 1 squid and 1 octo? what ifbthe 3rd game idols were both Octos

[@PinkPixelProductions]

@@GlitchyOnAChair I wouldn’t be surprised if both idols were octos because it’s the city of chaos so I think anything can happen there cus we aren’t in inkopolis anymore where everyone is mainly squids

[@lilymoon4]

6:28 can we just appreciate that the octoling next to Bridgett just straight up launched her little buddy at the screen

[@Hero-qn9xv]

this is fantastic and definitely worth the wait! also i agree i rlly want the save data to be carried over cuz i dont wanna start over 😅

[@ConvenientlyShapedUsername]

Disagree.. I already lost all of my data and seeing everyone else keep their data even in Splatoon 3 would feel really unfair.

[@octonoob]

@@ConvenientlyShapedUsername My friend lost all of their save data, and I agree with you because of that. I cannot imagine the pain of loosing everything

[@ConvenientlyShapedUsername]

@@octonoob Thanks. Yeah, it hurt a lot.. I was almost at level 60 and had at least S rank in every mode.. And like 700 hours of playtime or smth.

[@kh14]

i think it makes sense for the save data to not transfer over seeing as they are different games yanno? im pretty neutral on it lol

[@Radiant.inkling]

Bruh what

[@metzlean]

I’m so glad the wait was worth it! I loved your take on all these questions. Plus, the part where you shout Bridgett’s name and when she responds it sounds like she’s far away too. My personal favorite small detail was the little animated splatposts. They reminded me of flip-notes. It was adorable and a nice treat for the eyes. Great job on the detail :D 10/10 video, don’t forget to take a break if you need it

[@salt2308]

why is nobody talking about how good that transition at 1:31 is

[@ruccsacc]

I always loved the idea of games taking advantage of save files of other games, they did it a lot with memory cards in the 2000s and pokemon loves giving you gifts like exclusive clothes and even legendaries/mythicals for that recently.

[@Smash78]

Suikoden 2 did it the best

[@mechashark5203]

with octavia siding with us, he is shown in the trailer not having any of the fuzzy stuff on him, maybe hes a miniboss like at the end of the first hub world. because his mech is in a desert like area instead of the snowy dome. also cap cuttlefish is in the desert area aswell. maybe after beating octavio he sides with us

[@plutootie]

you added that last clip to annoy me thank you for sharing your thoughts with juicy edited content min vän !! am once again hit by extreme excitement for the funny splatoon 3 video game AAAAAAAAA

[@CephaVa]

I had the idea for the PVE being scrap collecting like this, there’s scavenger enemies, like crabs or lobsters or something, and you throw little buddy at the scrap, and your and your teammate’s little buddies carry scrap like Pikmin, you gotta defend them while they get it to a certain area

[@octokraken6359]

I think Splatoon 3 will be here sooner than we think. Maybe between April and June.

[@lol-ih1tl]

Advance Wars is coming on April

[@octokraken6359]

Advance Wars is a smaller ip so Splatoon 3 could come out later in the month.

[@sheek-uh]

19:04 Male octolings have eyes with a regular black outline, while female octolings have small makeup-wing things at the bottom corner of there black eye lines. This would be how octoling gender/voices would be determined. Inklings have no distinguishable male/female differences. Except that base, unmodified males have larger eyebrows. So the left option for your species would be female, the right would be male (as seen in the first trailer, this could change [possible eyebrow customization???]). Hope this helped you a bit more, thanks for all your great content :)

[@sharkbite7922]

Maybe for the idols, they could be cowboys or outlaws? I think it's a cool idea. And maybe for some new weapons, there could be a revolver or pistol of some sort? Or possibly a lasso? Idk, but I can't wait for Splatoon 3!!!

[@haloohylier7692]

Okay hearing the idea of everyone having a little buddy in the multiplayer modes gave me a idea. What if Grizzco sells the salmoniods as pets or like guard dogs? Like imagining he’s just like “These bad boys will grow up to be one of the most loyal companions you ever have! These things will kill in order to protect you in battle !” Sorta like dobermans or German shepherds being police dogs! So everyone’s like “Wow these things will help me in turf wars and ranked modes! That sure is fresh!” Or something. Idk..it just seems kinda cool.

When i first saw octavio in the trailer i thought "is this going to be a dr eggman in sonic lost world situation?" What i mean is that i think that octavio will betray us in the end

[@L3sterity]

I was thinking about when you said something along the lines of "A little buddy gamemode" and I just thought of this concept on the spot- but on the nintendo splatoon 3 page it says that little buddy and new agent 3 are junk collectors who do turf war on the side- what if the gamemode for splatoon 3 is a race to get the most junk in the splatlands? like getting multiple players to search for stuff under the sand with little buddy and the most stuff collected wins? or some other stuff like that.

In the story trailer, Agent 3 was seen wearing captain cuttlefish's hat while posing with the Squid Sisters. Does that mean Captain retired and Agent 3 is the new leader of the Squidbeak Splatoon? Do you think they'll finally allow her to talk?

[@_Viper.Vich72]

Yes, that’s literally what happened- nintendo stated so. Craig retired and agent 3 is the new leader!

[@RiverRunsThroughIt949]

I wonder if 3 will still be customizable, or if they will be the same as we see them in the trailer.

[@karentealoar8540]

personally i wish they would add so you you can customize to the full extent by letting you make your character in blender or something (if you know how to or you can just do the integrated system) but if you could it would be so fun oh yeah but like they have to be in the game for you to use them so you could be like a hole different race or somthin

[@freshbaldoctoling9246]

i got a theory. what if we HAVE to go to space because the octarians took over the world? it would make sense since there is a rocket in the snowy area.

[@Peppermintzzz]

What if in splatoon 3 we get a new species like inklings/octolings but they would have fur like how the new enemy’s have hair/fur idk I’ve been thinking this for a long time now :/

[@lol-ih1tl]

New Agent 3 becomes a rolling fuzzball if they touch fuzzy ooze

new dlc not clickbait

[@Porcellaine]

Imo two species is enough. More then enough. Plus, mammals are supposed to be extinct. Little buddy is good enough, adorable little cutie.

[@galaxy-to7fz]

vian . . . i have some speculations on the first two questions you answered. 1. i think the new villain will be the skull-like creature on the official posters for the hero mode (return of the mammalians.) i also think that dj octavio will be in the new training dojo for you to fight. it would be cool if you could choose between different types of mechs and different stages for you to fight him. 2. i think there might be no idols in splatoon 3 considering chaos won. splatsville seems to have no big tv screen in the first trailer to cast the news, and no spot in the square for the idols to screen the news, like in splatoon one and two. this would also completely solve the problem of not being able to fully skip the news. also an alternative way to check stages, new updates, and etc. can either be in the menu, on the app, or on the website, which is why the news isn’t needed in the first place. also we could still have maria and pearl, or callie and marie if either inkopolis square or plaza is still available to us in game. like you said it could be in a dlc to the game, which would be interesting also vian, if you’ve read all of this, thank you for everything that you’ve done. love your vids ❤️. alsooo please like and pin my comment, and maybe even reply. this took a while to make lmao.

[@gg0ga_]

STOPPP THE ANSWER TO THE QUALIFICATION QUESTION IM CRYING 😭😭😭 i love ur take on lil buddy and the chaos vs order thing!! ❤️❤️

[@gabopr1365]

An idea I have for the “gender” issue would be the option of voice, you could have the two standard Male and Female voices as well as a “Gender Neutral” option.

[@pikminarmy7538]

How much you want to bet there is a new villain and we do a team up with octavio but at the end last minute he pulls a fast one and he ends up being the final boss.

[@SilverAim]

Awesome video, loved all these ideas and answers. Hypes me way up for the new game! Also loved the part where Bridget says hello to the person who commented 😆

I hope the amibo gear is gonna be cool

[@chocolatepig7366]

Bro really predicted the whole story mode LOL. 17:08

[@justavikingshark]

I think i would use the bow because it could maybe let You keep the shot while walking and maybe that is why theres a SIDE movement

[@itsyaboi5656]

This is a late comment, but I just realized that Mr. Grizz is the only mammal in splatoon period (from what I can think of) so I assume that Grizzco is going to play a major role in the next installment.

[@GavinFromWeb]

Excited for this

[@cheesegreater5739]

19:04 I hope they make everything a toggle so you can chose the male body but the female voice and whatever hairstyle

[@baru5722]

I think that those bear warnings on the salmon run map means that maybe mr. Grizz attacked the humans before, but the inklings could not be bothered to take them down and the inklings don't know what it means and mr.Grizz might be plotting something. I know that mr. Grizz is not really a bear he's kinda like uh a plastic thing that talks but we don't know what his true identity is so I hope in splat 3 we get more lore on that. What do you guys think?

[@nadirofmagnus1323]

I like the idea that mako sharks took away the water/moisture from the land. And our character has to make their way to Alteria to get the water back. Also Marina is leading them. Also I feel like Double Bass by Gorillaz is a good song to be part of the Splatoon 3 soundtrack.

[@teentraveler1790]

Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions.

Bro the quality of this vid was just 👌 amazing

[@fate7418]

Ahhh watching theory videos after playing the game and finishing the hero mode is so weird, since there are things they got correct, and things they got horribly wrong- 😂 but some were really close

[@squiddler7731]

9:56 I think it's less it wasn't worth the effort to go and add the option and more that it just didn't make sense thematically, same reason as Octo expansion. But now in Splatoon 3 since both inklings and octolings are an option right out the gate, it wouldn't make sense _not_ to make a story mode where you can play as either one (which is also more evidence against DJ Octavio being the main antagonist)

[@thunderbreacker6917]

Salmon run, the Mann vs machine of Splatoon

I’m very excited for splatoon 3 also TEAM CHAOS

[@der_saftmon]

Something I would like as extra ranked mode(which would also fit the theme of Chaos) is, where there are like one tower/rainmaker for every team and they have to strategize a bit more. And it would be a bit chaotic having two opposing rainmakers with their teams battle each other.

[@Only_eros449]

imagine playing as an mammalian though! would they have some type of tech to make them move around under ink like Octolings and Inkilings? wait that sounds kinda cool

[@Javacado15]

What if one of the dlc was you play as a salmon an you fight against grizcoo. It would be cool to play as a pan weilding fish. Maybe as you rise the ranks you can become a scrapper or drizzler?

[@triggerhappy4199]

Shut up and take my money I want to be a salmon kid

[@melchorvalerorivas9323]

I’ve heard rumors on the trailer for story mode that in the end you can hear a laugh that sounds like mr grizz and it matches because In splatoon 2s storymode trailer you heard Callie laugh and it ended up being Callie as a villain so would mr grizz be the villain 🤔

[@toypikachutheoctoling6029]

If we do get some special for having Splatoon 2 data while booting up Splatoon 3 the way I think it could work is that the last outfit,and weapon you had equiped in Splatoon 2 gets brought over and available immediately in Splatoon 3

I really like you're idea for Grizz being bad, it might actually work out like that (I'd be happy if it did) Also we don't really know what he uses the eggs for.. Does he eat them?

Are we not gonna talk about how bridgett was killing it 😟

[@gomamon8439]

I think the common consensus, at least on the Japanese side of the fandom? Mr. Grizz is just a mascot for Grizzco which is some sort of business. There is also the theory humans are on the moon and are beaming down splatfests.

[@crazycanyon3028]

If chaos winning has anything to do with the game pearl will probably be 1 of the idols

[@r4inee]

I wanna know where we spawn when we die, like duh we have that floating spawn point or whatever, but wouldn’t it be cool like you could guide your spawn to where you wanna go and then you can jump to wherever you’d like- (Did that even make sense?) 💀
