War horses are generally big as well. And that would be what Argo is I'd expect.

I doubt any idiot would just go around slaying giants, bringing back the dead or not.

That's not true; while people thought that they would be around 19 hands research has put the average war-horse around 14-16 hands.

Ultimately the explanation for Agro's size that I came up with was that they wanted a large horse to fit with the mood of the game.  So much of the game's atmosphere has to do with scale; Wander is very small compared to Agro, and Agro is a mere ant in a world of monstrous cliffs and plains.

Maybe... I mean it's a good point, but I don't believe horses are that small, especially one for someone who'll take on giants.

well, all of you guys seen to rly like the game i'm the only one to....i gave up...that's it.
the slow controls, the annoying horse...the environment is beautiful but the music should keep up with it, which doesn't.
options of attack are...well....2!finding the colossis is boring as hell...after i killed the third i saw that the shadows are increasing, taking me back to the main "shrine"...

1. if you don't understand what they did with the horse controls you won't understand this game one bit. it's the best horse programming i ever saw in a videogame and it does feel real, trust me.. it's annoying because you can't adapt to a game?
2. the music is one of the better soundtracks in gaming... just hearing the opened way gives me shivers down my spine, again, if you don't feel it, i'm really sorry.

It helps if you like Studio Ghibli animation.

Unlike the masses, I'm not a particularly big fan of Ghibli... I am a fan though, just not as big as everyone else seems to be when the name is brought up.

But what does that have to do with anything.

I like Ghibli but what does it have to do with this game?

The less is more thing.

I'm not a fan of most anima which is probably why I could get into it.

Anyhow, sorry to get off track, the game is awesome ;D.
