First thing first: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Well, I think we can unanimously agree that Zack absolutely stole the show this time around.
I hope SE will have improved the models and the lighting by the release date. Everyone looks rather pale and mako intoxicated right now LOL. Angeal in particular displays too much wear, tear and rust on his face for a 25 y.o.. Lazard looks angular and sports green hair. Etc etc.
I said this elsewhere on the forum, but Zack's new En VA sounds a lot more similar to his Jp VA, which is a change I'm personally very pleased to hear. I also welcome the idea of maintaining the continuity. Wonder if Gackt re-voiced himself or they just re-used his lines from the 2000s. Let's wait and see!
I'm also dying to know if the story has been expanded now that SE's hands aren't that tied (more Zakkura and Zerith interactions, meaningful quests and missions). If not... nvm, it's already going to be a feast.
