A fuller version of the comparison video just posted to Youtube. Seeing them side by side, I'm just more and more impressed by how much better it looks in motion compared to its PS2 counterpart.

A lot of time was sunk into introducing the series, which is good for newcomers, but didn't leave much room for anything. They made good use of the time they had left over, imo. There were some interesting tidbits about the development of the series, like them starting on it before the PS1 was even out. I suppose we can expect more focus on the games from here on, until the big announcement.

More cutscenes vol 3 gameplay.

Things are a lot more fluid and faster. A lot of this comes from the fps being 60. Haseo and party members DPS is a little higher. Haseo is also max/near max level.

That was expected. What about that announcement Matsuyama made? I believe it involved that poster he held.

Was hoping for maybe around 6 or 7 hours, but no need to drag it out if the story doesn't warrant as much. We can always drag our feet with the story if we want to play more. However, I wonder what side content there may be based on the story's length?

Also, looks like Ovan may become an active party-mate after all. The new art shows him without the container on his arm, wielding what looks like a hand gun, rather than a bayonet (either that or the picture is cut off).

They finally showed 5th form gameplay and it looks good. The character model looks good, but I couldn't tell if they're trying to match him with the old assets or if they made new models for the party members, due to stream quality. I can see people getting tired of the single combo string after having more during the previous games, though.

Lastly, I wonder what that announcement was? They had a piece of key art with a female character reminiscent of Blackrose.

It's a book by Matsuyama about how a kid 11 years ago asked to be able to play Redemption early because he was having an eye surgery that would render him blind and the game was coming out after said surgery.

A portion of the sales will go towards charities for pediatric cancers.

D-don't lewd the PCs, lol. I'll take a Sora costume for Haseo, though. Throw in IMOQ Piros' model, Ender for Pi (just palette swap Bordeaux), Naobi for Yata, Vanilla versions of the Azure trio, White Shino. Just make all NPC models available, so I can swap to the guys with the cool goggles for awhile. Sakisaka palette swap for one of the goggle guys. What want most is for someone to fix Asta's character model. The way her character's body is bent is just terrible. What would be really cool is a mod for Haseo, so he can use all weapons like the mod made for DMC3 that allowed Dante access to all styles and weapons on the fly.

While it's great that we're getting Ovan, I'm a little concerned that CCCorp would reveal that. That could have been a wonderful surprise (since all we've seen so far hinted that Vol. 4 was all about rescuing Ovan, this shows it goes a bit deeper than that). What I don't understand is why he still has the Tri-Edge Aida remnant hanging there still. Wasn't that purged?

Japanese media has a weird relationship with spoilers. I feel like for the last few Pokemon games I knew virtually everything about them before they launched. That post-game episode in the Hoenn remakes would've been 100x more fun had I not seen it discussed at length beforehand.

I quite am. I'm playing through the original four games to completion again and loving them. I do need to get back to finishing //SIGN again but other things came up. I've reread AI Buster and when I finish the four games read //Legend of Twilight's Bracelet once more. So far this trip has been wonderful and I cannot wait to see how they enhance G.U.

EDIT: Now this is interesting. The twitter account is giving some basic info. on the characters and the translation for Kusabira (in google translate) came out as Xaviera which is a real name and unique enough to stand out. It also noted her similarities to Zelkova which implies she is probably a Vagrant AI of some fashion.

BandaiNamco have updated their Amazon page for Last Recode with a picture of the limited edition. What could it mean?
