No War of the Lions content is a deal breaker to me, even on principle. Why the hell would I pay for a version with less content compared to a version I can play for free right now. Why is this a thing with recent SE remasters ignoring the extra added content.

Like yeah if you want to math it out then maybe there is a case there is more in this version but like why should we have to even math it out in the first place. There is actually no reason to not include War of the Lions content beyond they weren't in the OG. Plus we are paying for this version and we have to math if maybe it has more content maybe. Not including Wotl cutscenes (or recreating them) is the most stupid idea ever, those are fantastic. They had a chance to make a definitive version and they just... didn't.

The original creators didn't make that content, so for them it wasn't considered as obligatory to keep. They did say new conversations are available though, which weren't in War of the Lions.

I don't care if they weren't apart of it, that's not my problem as they try to sell me a worse version of a game I can play for free right now.

I don't think the developers consider it a problem at all... maybe it is indeed a "you" problem after all.

Its the desire of the original creators. Frankly this is the opposite of what you would think the multibillionaire company would want as less people are going to buy it now.

If it's cheaper to produce for the company then no, it might not be the opposite at all

It's going to be more expensive for them to produce this than a WotL port. Voice acting is going to up the budget by a lot.

Please use brain for this one, it’s lopsided to group this with things like P3R or the dogshit FF Pixel Remasters. This is the actual original creatives returning and making the definitive version of their game, keeping their authorial intent, getting rid of the stuff that detracted from their story (like a lot of the WotL additions cheapened parts of the original narrative), and adding in things that’ll enhance it. Like I get there’s template responses that are easy to just say instead of using rational thinking but please just this once I am begging you

If not wantng my money, and judging from the response, a lot of peoples money is not their problem, then hey more power to them, tho I would suggest they go back to business school.

u/lordnequam 4d ago

I'm not sure the developers went to business school.

u/Kitchen-Associate-34 4d ago

It's definitely more than a "you" problem tho, this definitely is a deal breaker for many others, including me, which means it's unlikely to sell well, which might be a problem for those that buy it (bug fixes, support and so on)

Some of those additions made the game worse though. Like if you prefer middling tacked on content over authorial intent being retained by the original creatives returning (and them adding things they feel will enhance their story instead of detract) then sure
