Ah I thought there would be an epilogue or at least post game thing since
Alcamoth is clearly in a different location at the end of the first trailer for the game.

So the bionis shoulder won't be a new explorable area in the main game, it's only a part of the epilogue, right?

I can't believe how nostalgic and giddy I got with this trailer, and I only played the original XC like... 4 years ago.

This game is really special and I'm hyped to play it again, modern classic is right on the money. The updates look great, and a new epilogue is just so amazing!

Ah yeah, Dunban is the same. He just has a really strained voice in that one scene so he sounds different from how he usually is.

I wonder if they rebalanced it to make Sharla useful.

I vaguely remember there is a chapter regarding something like shulk and friends in his home town one night preparing for the final battle. Something like 7 in pain and melia was going to give Shulk a piece of her mind as he was still in his lab researching. Along the lines, something happened and Shulk had a vision of a way to restore 7's body in some ruins because of melia. Future connected maybe regarding that?

Wouldn't be surprised if it was related to this.

- does this incorporate those big unused areas?
No one answered this one. It's only one really large unused area, but everything they've shown of the epilogue is clearly in there, yes - with something extra mixed into it. (The area was originally planned to be visited before the midway point of the game; they've reworked some stuff given late game plot elements to give it story significance there, it seems.)

I haven't even played 1, but I thought that too because his voice is kinda distinct lol

No, its just that scene, if you go back to the original on that scene he sound exactly the same like they used the same sound file.
It seems they didnt re-record any line, probably only recorded new lines for the expansion

I love his new Monado(?) too. I'm a gear head so seeing more techy/modern inspirations but done without paralleling regular modern day media is neat to me.

I guess thats another monado replica, there were a few of them in the game but I dont really remember how they looked. I asume its a new one.

If it's an epilogue and the events of the original game happen it may be a "fake" he makes? No idea. He said "good thing I came prepared" so I'm assuming it's Shulk's making this time.

Not yet, but in the UK, you can bet it'll be on Game and the UK Nintendo store at the very least.
Amazon and others will depend on if Game has an exclusive deal or not. If you plan to import, remember that the rest of the EU has more stores.

Fucking hate Game so I fully expect them to get it exclusively.

Yeah, after that big event near the end game

you get a monado replica to replace your monado, and its an ugly one haha, but there were quests for other replicas too. I never got them so idk how they looked. So he probably makes a new one with homs technology, it doenst look like machina tech at all

Such a great game - still sad I didn't complete it when I was at the finish line.

This reminds me to listen to the excellent OST again!

God it looks amazing. I'm really excited to play this again. Going to need to import a collectors edition though, thanks Nintendo NA...

Seems that way. As much as I was hoping it would be incorporated back into the main game to bridge Makna Forest and Eryth Sea as originally intended, I suppose rebalancing the levels of *everything* afterwards probably wouldn't have been worth it. Plus, it might've been cut for pacing anyway; the only logical thing you could do there plot wise is develop more of who Melia is, but the game does that plenty in Alcamoth immediately after.

The path from the mines to prision island is already too long (or they dropped that prision island tease too early)
it doenst really need more padding imo. though I hoped you would have to walk through there (with the gates closed) instead of taking that dumb bubble thing to the sea

$59.99. Jesus Christ....
That's actually less than what most people who bought the game in the US in 2013 payed. The $90 I shelled out for a pristine copy that September was *less* than the typical going rate of just a disc IIRC.

I suppose that doesn't diminish the fact that you can buy it digitally on the Wii U eShop for $20 now, but they know their audience. JRPG fans have a lot of overlap with collectors and double dippers.

Can't wait to replay this masterpiece for the... 5th time? It's truly my favourite game of all time. And the new content looks very interesting.
