Well, seems I'm finally done with the Gaia Lowlands. Time for the Upper Land... next time.

Why are you getting so worked up on this?

Well, joke's on them. I was bad at it even in the original! Inb4 I end up being better at Superguarding at 30FPS.

Honestly, it never was too big of a deal for me the whole 30 vs 60 FPS's thing. Then again, unless you put the same footage side-by-side, I can't even tell which is running on which... Well, hopefully. Hard to say how much (seems to be only a couple new NPC's here and there so far), but at the least, there is new stuff.

It's alright, best line is still there at least.

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.
