Curious village: multimillionaire dies and locks his daughter in an attic to be raised by robots in total isolation until someone solves this puzzle
Diabolical box: come freely, go safely, and beware of the hot twink and his hallucinogenic gas
Unwound future: losing every person you ever cared about doesn't necessarily turn you evil, the Luke cosplayer who built an exact copy of London under normal London was an outlier adn should not have been counted
Last specter: local man allows his uni friend to take his son on a dangerous hunt to find a real life monster that's destroying their town
Miracle mask: queer coded villain turns some amnesiac guy into another queer coded villain cause they both have beef with this one archaeology professor in particular
Azran legacy: there's a lesson about progress at all costs here somewhere but we're also trying to kidnap a magical zombie girl back from the archaeology mafia and wait why am I crying
Bonus
Eternal diva: who cares about death when this pipe organ can store people's souls
Phoenix Wright: how to become an omniscient narrator, step 1: poison the city's water supply

Tiny details I noticed from the Layton series:
Katrielle's sofa is shaped like her hair:

In the Promo artwork for Miracle Mask, you can see Stachenscarfen.

This man gets so excited about seeing the Bostonius that he rushes out his house and immediately slips on the ice:

It's not a continuity error that Dean Delmona has white hair in Laytons Mystery Journey. When he's shocked, his hair flies off his head, revealing it to be a wig.

Ingrid and Matthew have to stand on piles of books to be able to see out the window:
Tumblr media
Duke makes an appearance in St Mystere despite being from Folsense. And being a hallucination.
Tumblr media
The man Grosky fights with in Last Specter can be seen in Prison in the credits of Eternal Diva.

In Eternal Diva, during Puzzle 001, you can overhear two men arguing about the answer.
The two are looking at a fossil of what appears to be a Ichthyosaur.
You can hear the first man ask, "What about that? Is that old?"
Second man replies, "That's a fish."
The first argues back, "It's a fossil you buffoon!!"
I don't know, I thought it was funny.
Tumblr media
That's all I can fit onto this post.
Please share any small details you've noticed, I love seeing them!

Not sure if this is considered "lost media" per se, but stumbled upon this scan of the Eternal Diva artbook/magazine that I'd saved to an old hard drive in about 2013. There's 52 pages in total, but not all of them are in colour.

all canon azran symbols and motifs masterdoc
discord convo led to 6 hours of hyperfocus and research for me, so i'm gonna put my findings here for your resource as well!
as most of the resources concerning the japan-only azran legacy guidebook's azran "language" cipher (that used to be somewhere as a font back in the day?) and the fans' interpretation of what letters' solutions weren't included officially have disappeared off the face of the internet, i had the idea of reconstructing it, which brought me down the rabbithole of the INCREDIBLY inconsistent nature of the azran language throughout the professor layton prequels. even if that cipher is dubiously canon, some of its symbols appear as canon azran text in the games. i wanted to check overlap as well as log every existing example of characters in an azran writing system.
interestingly enough, some characters reappear across games- and there's lots and lots of them to account for. around 23 pages of this doc worth, actually!
this also led me to compile most of the visual imagery players see in azran spaces, as well as any azran seals shown in-game. i'm pretty sure i covered my bases, but if i'm missing anything, i can absolutely update this compilation!
here's a full pdf to save for your reference!
xo, lynnie

⋆⋅༺ diva mindset. (pt.6) ༻⋅⋆
*:・゚✧*:・゚✧ ⋆*:・゚✧*:・゚✧
If you want it, get it.
If you want to do something, do it.
you DO NOT need anyone opinion, nor validation to do so.
a tip to break out the habit, is having more confidence in yourself!
one of the main points in life is experiencing & learning about who you are.
you’ll have troubles doing so if you stay in the present mindset.
with that being said, do that thing you’ve been overthinking about, scared to do, or have doubts about.
you’ll never really know, until you FULLY apply yourself, doll.
- kisses from, diva. 💋

‘It was no wonder that you hadn’t noticed, Descole. Someone like you would never understand Janice’s kindness, or the nobility of sacrificing oneself in order to keep others alive.’
Taken from @lutiaslayton’s fan-translation for the novellisation of Eternal Diva.

Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva
PART 01
〚FIRST〛〚PREV〛〚NEXT〛
Disclaimer: This is a fan-translation for the Japan-exclusive novellisation of the movie Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva. The original novel was written by Aya Matsui under the supervision of Akihiro Hino, and belongs to Level-5.
This translation only aims to be a pleasant read for non-Japanese fans, nothing more: I made a few deliberate changes while translating in order to get the writing style closer to what is usually found in English fanfictions, as the Japanese storytelling can sometimes be different than what we are used to.

As we rise out of the sea The stars’ glimmers sing praises This soul remains close to your heart
As the sunlight filtering through the foliage sparkles The forest’s raindrops sing praises These eyes shall sleep and watch over your dreams
Count the lives that sank at the bottom of the sea We believe that someday This prayer will reach you
Now let the eternal slumber alone prevail The tears of the beloved Dissolve into the sea
Beyond a thousand nights If the day ever comes When you smile once more We will never cry again
Beyond a thousand nights Watch in our dream The day we meet again As we sing this song
Believe in the promise Beyond the far-off time We will see your smile again
As you stand in the future when the skies intersect You must let our thoughts guide you back to that day
We will never run out of the tears That are destined to none but you We lie asleep dreaming of you
We shall now sleep Always thinking of you Our beloved...
── London・Present
☆ Janice Quatlane
The sound of thunderous applause brought me back to reality.
This was just a rehearsal for tomorrow’s performance…
I could now remember that I was on the stage of the newly built opera house in London. And yet, I still found myself thinking: “The sea that was just now spread out before me, where did it go?”
The azure blue sea softly embraces the island of Ambrosia, the gentle waves lapping at the shore…
“Miss Quatlane, what a wonderful voice!”
“This fabled opera, The Eternal Kingdom… Nothing could be more fitting for the inauguration of this opera house!”
“Oh yes, I can already see the audience going wild!”
“They had better be! Tomorrow will mark the second time it was ever performed!”
The impresarios seemed to be praising me, but their voices were all drowned out by the sound of the waves that were still echoing in the depths of my heart.
Swoosh… Whoosh… Always thinking of our beloved Eternally dancing to and fro between sea and land
Looking at the sea was like looking at myself, wandering back and forth between dream and reality…
“The memories of the melody…”
All I could do was mumble these words. Standing here, after the end of the song, made me realise… There was something that I had carefully buried inside of me, out of my sight, never to look back. But now, the melody of The Eternal Diva was the key that had just unlocked it: the memories from three years ago.
Memories that were made not of images, but of feelings and emotions…
Joy, sadness, sorrow, pain… I want to see you, I yearn to see you, I languish without you, I want to see you…
These thoughts and feelings all came back to me in a single instant, and they pierced through my entire being. I was almost crushed by this tsunami of emotions, leading me to reconsider my previous decision. Was it really a good idea for me to sing The Eternal Kingdom tomorrow, in front of a live audience?
I could not believe that these memories were still occupying so much space in my mind, even after all this time…
It was a selfish request of me, but the composer, Mr. Oswald Whistler, had graciously accepted to let me sing it again. The reply in his letter was filled with such warm words:
Miss Quatlane… No, I will call you Janice, just like old times. How long have I waited for the time when you would ask! I know what you said three years ago; that you wanted to seal The Eternal Kingdom forever… Still, even from that very moment, I had been hoping to see your role as its diva rise again one day. I understand how much pain and grief it caused you at that time. But Janice, you must never forget that I wrote this opera for you, and you alone. To me, music is the most sacred thing in this world. No matter how foolish and fragile the human heart may be, only music will never burn its wings and fall alongside it. I am with you, Janice. You are an angel chosen by the muses. Please, by all means, I want you to embrace the whole of London with your great love as the diva. It truly is a pity. I would already be rushing over to the opera house and supporting you if I could, but we both know that reality will not make this possible.         With all my love,            Oswald Whistler
When his letter said that this opera had been written only for me, of course I believed him. I already knew this was true.
Thinking of his words again made me understand: this was a piece that I needed to carry on singing, again and again, for as long as I would be able to. This was my fate.
However, one important thing that few could know, was that this opera never was mine. This, too, was fate.
I only sing for you.
Can you hear it, Melina?
My best friend…
I’m coming back tomorrow, to see you.
All I can do now is keep hoping, thinking back to that time three years ago, when we spent time with Professor Layton…

Last Specter/Eternal Diva prompt for @layton-npc-appreciation-week! The kids in Last Specter were one of my favorite parts of the game, and I really really loved so many of the designs from Eternal Diva as well! I know Janice isn't really a side character in there, but I love her so much I wanted to add her anyway c:
