One thing that caught my eye:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this wasn't in the originals, right? It looks like Haseo on the left but I can't tell who's on the right.

Also, what's with the new anime-like animation? An odd choice.
What's disturbing, given it's all in a game, why is there a bag of IV between their two beds?
Notice the CC Corp logo in the background... I sense some corporate tomfoolery going on here.

It can be easy to forget that  Pi Kuhn and Yata are all CC Corp. employees. And Haseo is working with them.

I saw people online claiming that the Avatar Battles will have a Playstation VR mode option. Not sure where they're getting it from.

Weren't the Avatar replay missions in the Serpent of Lore called VR missions? I can't remember for sure, but if so, they are misinterpreting the meaning behind it.

Misunderstandings. They even point it out on the official site that by VR they don't mean actual VR, but the in-game "VR" mode. Google Translate suggests otherwise, so people misunderstand.

Here are clearer scans of this week's Famitsu article on Last Recode.

https://twitter.com/RyougaSaotome/statu ... 4375477249

EDIT: RPG Site has a translation of the new scans about Haseo's 5th form.

http://www.rpgsite.net/news/5962-check- ... ast-recode

We might be giving up our old weapons in favor of a singular OP weapon. However, it sounds like the whip sword might have enough variety to it to make up for it. G.O.U in some ways makes the other weapons a little redundant, but we have fewer attacks to choose from. I'll reserve judgement, but I feel like I could be okay with this. Plus, chaining multiple triggers into a combo sounds like it could be pretty cool.

EDIT 2: JP version of the trailer, which is basically the same as ours aside from Limited Edition content and other merch. It looks like 3rd form Haseo Black and White version figures are up on Bandai's website:

http://nicogachan.com/watch.php?v=sm31801101
http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000117033

Also, an expansion on my thoughts about the new weapon form:
The fact that Vol 4 is essentially a new game made separate from the previous 3 means we don't know how compatible the new content is with the prior games. It's possible this new weapon is made in part to remedy this disconnect aside from being new and different. For all we know, 5th form may be handed to us early into Vol 4, with limited time in Xth form and with default weapons or vice versa.

This also lends credence to the theory Vol 4 may be a shorter game (maybe around 10-15 hours), so we may only get the one sword G.O.U and the option to upgrade it.

With these things in mind, I won't write it off yet. Loss of the other weapons might suck, but 5th form's abilities make for a decent tradeoff in a situation like this. Execution is also important and I don't think CC2 will just phone it in on this.

From Siliconera:
The weapon is called “Gate of Ouroboros” and it is only available for Haseo’s new 5th form. The weapon can change form, and each one determines which of the eight arts it can use along with a variety of combos. It also has a secret “Skill Trigger” combo activation ability, but we’ll learn more on that later.

This sounds so sick, I cannot wait to try it all out.

No. I doubt they'll do DLC for a friggin' remaster of all things.

Amiami is offering upgrades to their exclusive edition of the limited edition. It'll come with 2 acrylic keychains. One of Kite and one of Haseo!

...my hopes of an Ovan keychain have been crushed. ;v;

Yep, upgraded! I also pre-ordered the Haseo Figuarts. I'm pouring money into this remaster like there's no tomorrow

I hope this will have them create a new console series after this. On Vol.4 I haven't seen him with any party members and the moral guage has also been turned to Tension, so I'm worried if that means it will be solo play.

Rewatching the trailer, there's a couple seconds of a fight (around 4:40ish) between Xth Haseo, Piros and Atoli vs something similar to the green creature shown earlier, so I figure there should still be party combat, at least up til you get 5th form. Also, at the tail end of that 1 sec of 5th form Haseo gameplay, you can see the Moral gauge begin to slide in during the transition to cutscene Haseo, so Moral seems to still be in after 5th form. There aren't any scenes of 5th form in a party from scans or the trailers, though. Probably so as to not obscure their showcasing of 5th form.

I'm sure we'll see 5th form gameplay at TGS. They still got 2-months to promote it.

Premium Bandai Shop also has various sponsored proxy services. I ordered from DeJapan. Keep in mind unlike most pre-orders this one is pay now, not later.
