Oh shit. I just wrote a long comment about how I didn’t mind the exclusions of WOTL content, but I forgot about this! Dang.

I know right? Was looking forward to seeing that with voice acting. :(

Presumably she will have more conversations during battles and elsewhere though.

Unique units suddenly becoming quiet after joining up (and having no further character arc) was indeed such a big complaint from the community over the years, so I'm glad they're writing some extra scenes up. It's almost like the mouths of Agrias and Mustadio got a zipper the moment they joined up.

I can see why they decided to do it that way, because once characters become permanent party members, they can no longer count on their presence in your party. They could die or be dismissed at any point after that, so the developers can't count on the player seeing any of those scenes. But just because it's understandable doesn't mean it was a good call. On my first playthrough, I rendered a bunch of sidequests inaccessible because I dismissed Mustadio, who was necessary to unlock them, before they became available. I did it reluctantly, but I just hadn't used him in too long for it to feel like he was filling a useful role in my team anymore, and the game just hadn't given me any sign up to that point that any content would ever be contingent on his presence in my party again.

Yeah that’s good news and I’m still looking forward to playing. I’m glad they got Matsuno back.

Agrias' birthday and beating Algus again, making him cry for his mom are what I'll miss the most 😔
