Will the real Leviathan please stand up?

Why did they need two leviathans though? Just because they have time to make two, doesn't mean they should act on that impulse.

There are two reasons I can see: The first reason being that the original leviathan was way too difficult to animate and they didn't know how to implement a workable battle against such a creature. The second reason is to do with plot. The sea serpent may in fact be something different than Leviathan altogether, a literal red herring.

or three) the new dev team would rather use their own work where ever possible.

I'm sure the old team responsible for creating monster models didn't get fired! Nor any of the story-line writers. If they did, they didn't deserve to.

So I find that a pretty specious claim to say the new dev team wanted to use their own work; the original leviathan was their own work.

maybe when yoshi-p took over. he took one look at the old Leviathan and said "i don't like it. do it again" you stapping his authority. but really like i say i doubt we will ever know why. but there is a sticky thread for quests to ask him in the next live letters from the producer. maybe you should ask on that. maybe you will get an answer

Why is Yoshi so offensive to his staff members in your imagination?

The original leviathan seemed more imaginative than this new one.

Anyways, I posted the question in that thread, but I think I already used my quota of questions.

i don't think he is. and i'm not saying that is the reason. i was mearly giving alternative idea to the two that you gave. but there is as much chance of it being because he didn't like the old work as it is that they couldn't animate it. until we hear from some1 that really knows what happened its all guess work
