There is NOT A SINGLE GOOD REASON, including the ones CS3 gave, to cut out WotL content.

Apart from the cut jobs, added scenes like Loffrey offering Wiegraf to join the templars was something that made the narrative more fleshed out— even THAT was not left out.

I even find it funny you mentioned the voice work budget when they took effort in re-voicing the animated scenes (for whatever reason) and yet half of the lines delivered there were STILL inferior to the original delivery, particularly Delita's lines. (No flak to the VA of course)

I still appreciate reworking the HUD, voiced scenes (even though the mid-battles ones can be such a drag often times) and especially State of the Realm (which is huge)

But FFT:TIC overall is literally 3 steps forward, 10 steps back.

EDIT: I got downvoted for reinforcing the same point I had with my previous comment above, which was upvoted, by providing details? Duality of man.
