One new bit at the official site concerns one of those new episodes. This episode will cover an event from over ten years prior involving the game's legendary Four Heroes as they tackle some major incident. The site describes this as a missing link for for the game as told for the first time from the original scenario writer, Kei Shigema.
That has officially made me want this game x10 more than I already did! Yay for more information on the Four Heroes! ^_^

Also, nice new character art for Kyle, Jessica, and Mia. I also hope we get the soundtrack pre-order bonus overseas too. That would make me sad if it was Japan only.

The new episode should be fun, particularly if we get a bit of control over the scenario. Here's hoping that they sprinkle more than just one Four Heroes experience throughout the game.

Unfortunately, as with the initial batch, the screens are super tiny. It's like Gung Ho wants to hide how nice the game's remade visuals look. Oh well.
Aw c'mon XD. Those screenshots are only 72% their original size! More than enough to appreciate them :lol:
But at least it shows how much they love the game!

I only heard about the preorder soundtrack, not this other stuff. :O But yeah, more about the 4 heroes is awesome. Hope they put up music samples sometime too, I'm really anxious to hear the new music.

They mentioned this in the original Famitsu article (...did anyone even read that?)

I'm glad that GungHo finally updated the website. There'll be an update on LunarNET about this tonight with all the content. KF

There's also a decent revamp of the site coming tonight to promote the new game heavier. Check the mainpage in a few hours. I'll have some new screens and artwork and the like.

Er, but wasn't the article much less specific? This at least mentions some of the new episodic content instead of just mentioning new episodes generally.

Yes, true. Don't mind me too much; I'm just feeling inadequate. KF

Wait, "over ten years prior"? I hope that's rather a lot over ten, like at least fifteen, because just ten years before Alex's journey wouldn't make any sense at all with SSS's continuity and barely more than that in TSS's. And it just seems really unlikely that SSS's continuity would be discarded in favor of TSS's at this point.

I'll be importing too, even if the US version comes out a month after. I really want that soundtrack too, just in case they Xseed doesn't bring it here.

It never occurred to me not to import, of course. It does mean finding a vendor that will also make the soundtrack available, of course. I don't know if NCSX and the like usually do the preorder bonuses as well.

If that's the case, they may not be able to use the same voice actors. I really hope John Truitt remains as Ghaleon.

John Truitt is still awesome enough to be up for it. I get the feeling Rhonda Gibson and Jenny Stigile would be good for it, too. As for the others, I don't know how easy they would be to reach.

Oh, and forget about Ashley Angel. He got a taste of fame with O-Town and is too good for anything now. KF

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if Alex were rerecorded. Though what would be interesting is if the Japanese voices were kept. :P

Egad. Another thing to get up on the site -- the comparative voice clips from the Korean and Japanese games. I think the MegaCD Ghaleon was different from the Saturn/PS/PC one, so that's four Ghaleon voices to compare.

Weren't all of the seiyuu different from Mega CD --> Saturn?
