Alright, now that the game is out, and we're looking forward to DLC, I thought it might be prudent to go back through previous images, interviews and trailers, and see what didn't end up in the final game. Perhaps some of this cut content got moved to future DLC, or it just got sliced for one reason or another from the entire game.
Going all the way back to the OG trailers, it seems like we lost some sort of number that used to be next to the Focus bar. Not exactly sure what it used to be, but so be it.
In the E3 2015 trailer, we can see that there at one point was meant to be more heartless in Twilight Town, and that the Attraction Flow animation was originally designed to be more cinematic.
In the Jump Fest 2016 trailer, we see what I can assume is the most glaring disappearance. It appears that the Mysterious Tower was a fully rendered, playable world at some point. I would like to assume this points to it be playable in DLC, but it could just be that the world was cut due to a lack of content and things to do in the Tower itself.
The Orchestra trailer seems mostly the same, although areas of Olympus seems to have been... reordered perhaps? Moving that fight to a different area? I can't quite tell. Past that, the trailers all match up to the game, apart from one line in a Toy Story trailer where Rex compares Donald and Goofy to Yozora's compatriots.
I'm not really the best at digging through past interviews and the like, but one thing I did find was Nomura's mention of Critical Mode. Of course, it was quite a big deal when the interviews were edited to remove any mention of the mode. What exactly does that mean?
Does anyone else have anything that might have been cut, or perhaps interviews and video that don't match up with what we got? Or any thoughts on this current stuff?
