Now that I'm home, I can clarify better; Amy wasn't really designed to be a carbon copy in the first place. She has some speed, but is always generally slower(in the case there's any actual differences beyond some unique skills, which is almost all the time. Sonic Heroes is one of the few games she's allowed to keep up with the others, due to the copied gameplay).
The way she plays even in Sonic Adventure had her wildly different. She rarely is even seen curling into a ball or using any similar skill than the others have. But that's, again, cause she's not designed to be like that. Though I do find it weird they didn't bother even in Sonic Advance, but who knows why.
Not that she can't be a carbon copy either(as Sonic Heroes shows), but she's also one of the few major characters who didn't start as a playable clone variant in some way. I'd prefer her to stay that way.
Anyway, we'll see how they handle it all. If the game doesn't work well if Amy isn't a carbon copy, then yeah, she should be. But if they can make it work, being unique is, imo, better.
Shadow?The End had a drastic gameplay style because the time constraint of the development and said they didn't have much time to make the latter part of the game because of too many trials and errors in the early stage. He also added that they tried to make the best true final boss even within the restriction.
That means we will have a proper final boss next year? I'm geniunely intrigued.
To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.That's interesting about its true form. If it was something nonsolid, like the mist, how could there be anything to even attack?
EDIT: LOL at what Sonic probably saw
and what Sage saw
.

The Protomen enhanced my life.I just finished the game this past weekend. I actually rather liked the Ikaruga segments. It was a fun change of pace. The last one formed a pretty neat narrative, too.
EDIT: For reference, I have played Touhou games a bit. Even beat a few on the normal difficulty. So I'm no stranger to bullet hell games. Though not having keyboard control is a heck of a handicap. Took me three tries to beat The End.

Now I'm wondering what Sonic sees when he fails the final QTE. To us, it looks like he just faceplants into the moon.
EDIT: Who would've thought The End would be foreshadowed
in an Olympic Games story? XD (In all seriousness that battery-going-bad plot gets dark at the end.)

The Protomen enhanced my life.In context, Red is talking of when two heroes fight one another because of stubbornness rather than talking things out. Which fits Shadow I guess, because how else we would see a Sonic vs Shadow fight?
To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.In the Japanese script for Frontiers, Eggman
escaped Cyberspace on his own somehow.
He also escaped the void from Sonic Generations somehow. It' just Joker Immunity
I can't imagine that monologue had any changes that would've had anything of note.
Gameplay dialogue is getting a separate video anyway.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Interesting difference about the final boss in the Japanese script. The End is described as "another moon appearing from the dark side of the moon" and Sage decides to use the Titan to seal it away like in the last wars, with nothing about it being too strong for Super Sonic—in fact, she says he's the only hope.
From those changes, it feels like we'll see The End again down the line.
Also OW at Sage's last words: "Father...will you praise me?"
The Protomen enhanced my life.Another moon? Wait, is that their attempt to explain the "whole moon" thing that everyone's had a problem with since SA 2?
Are explosions science?
No, it's just what The End's true form looks like to us, the players, according to Kishimoto. We see the regular moon, but the damage done to it is on the other side.
EDIT: Come to think of it, the Japanese cutscenes describe The End as "another moon appearing from the dark side of the moon" according to Sage, which doesn't fit what Kishimoto revealed about The End looking different to everyone that sees it and the moon being what WE see while Sonic and Sage see something different.

And I agreed with you, I'm very impatient.
