It feels like I've played through a lot, but I only just finished the Underground Palace. Well, can't complain, really. Will continue tomorrow.

I suppose the silver lining is that the game may have extra stuff (a previous trailer showed a new NPC in the Glitzville exterior area that wasn't there in the original), and that may still be kept secret. I suppose it's little hope to see them re-adding some scrapped stuff like the Sirens fights planned for Chapter 4. Or Beldam being the one who summoned/created the Smorgs to begin with. Or Prince Mush as a bonus boss as many hoped he could've been? Oh yes, Vivian was certainly top tier, and yeah, quite a novelty too. The first Paper Mario used all pre-existing species for partners, but then TTYD thought to experiment a little. Too bad they scrapped partners for the most part after this.

I got reminded that trailer didn't showed her when they presented the partners. It skipped from Yoshi to Bobbery. It could be they are keeping her Heel-Face Turn secret (the trailer does seem aimed to newcomers over veterans), but it's funny to think they don't want to open that can of worms yet. XD

Did she stutter?

I can only guess that it comes down to the same argument when it comes to Copyright: It must be protected, lest you lose it. Best (stretching definition of best) case scenario, this was done as a precaution measure. Worst case scenario, something behind the scenes must have gone off regarding the validity of their Copyright claims and they scrambled into damage control mode.

Okay, on a serious note. At the end of the day, they're still copyrighted. Any unauthorized use is a breach of the law. That said... Yes, it's quite questionable why they decided to act on this now all of a sudden.

I fear for my fanfiction now...

Well, I enjoyed it.

Just one month away, huh.

Oh, the Vestaria rework seems to be available for download now. https://ci-en.net/creator/11872/article/1127420 @Saint Rubenio But, you probably knew already.

I'd say, outside the whole waiting for the charging bar to get the full power of the attack, it's such a fun ride so far. I ended up going to Gaia's Navel before Pandora, but it seems it wasn't too much of a hassle. Outside not recruiting Primm earlier, I guess. Made it to the dungeon area of the witch's castle. Will continue tomorrow.

Time to resume Secret of Mana.

Yeah, it's quite a bummer. Even just knowing what were the original plans would be nice, but even that can become lost forever. Either through being forgotten, or jut plain never revealed on purpose. With SoM we know at least some of the axed elements would be used for Chrono Trigger. Though I can't recall if it was revealed which exactly.

Well, I did, reaching up to the Mantis Ant. Crono, is that you!? I'm aware of a few tidbits of the game's development. Quite fascinating. Shame a whole lot had to be axed, and any chances of seeing some of that stuff in any official capacity seem slim. A remake, like this one, would aim to be faithful to the original finished product than restoring some of the original aspects now that it'd be possible. Ah well, it happens, I guess. Found this place long ago: https://manaredux.com/ Containing quite a bit of info. Fascinating stuff. Okay, stopping for now. Will continue tomorrow.

Well, that was fun. I'm tempted to start Secret of Mana already. Hmm...

Dude thinks he's Dark Fact taking the floor like that. AHAHAHAHAHA, it's done! Now to just reach the end...

Alright, time to end this... will need to get Trails in the Sky The Third at some point, but it's fine for now.

It just hit me the Wonder post was probably not a non-sequitur. Sorry, my bad.

I mean, you seem set in not revealing the game, so I wanted to have fun with it.

So Warriors?
