With Sonic Frontiers's free DLC update having 45 new songs, it sounds really substantial. The main game has 151 songs (the official soundtrack lacks "Vandalize" due to copyright issues).

45 new songs means lots of content. New cyberspace levels? New overworld? (There's the new character themes for what I assume is the overworld, though I don't know for sure what they're really used for.) I'm interested. I beat the game four times when it was new, and I plan to start over and go through it again for a fifth run, rather than loading a savegame and just going through the new content (assuming it'll be placed at the end).

Which new character are you all looking forward to playing first in Frontiers? For me, despite Tails being my favorite character in the series, I'm gonna want to play Amy first.

Amy, if only because she's the only one whose abilities don't break an open world game. Unless they nerf Tails' flying and Knuckles' gliding as much as Sonic's boost odds are we're not gonna have much time with them.

That aside, new Pariah video.

I'm fine with any. I wonder if it'll be in a specified order for story reasons, or if you can choose them.

But after seeing the other response, I see why Knuckles and especially Tails could "break" an open world. Though... isn't that kind of the point of an open world?

I wonder if the final area will have specific areas for specific characters.

[up][up] Another of those tired topics from Twitter discourse, all about "Sonic image". I'm guessing from the title, he means a redesign?

Quite frankly, Sonic Team just needs to stop making those terribly dull 3D renders and just use 2D illustrations again. That way, maybe I won't be bored looking at the new renders.

Unfortunately, I don't trust Uekawa's style. Have you seen his artwork for Sonic Channel? It's so stiff, safe and lifeless, it lacks cartoony proportions or cool visuals. It's like watching at a Tadayoshi Yamamuro artwork of Dragon Ball.

For a while...but that's probably why they've gotten another artist.

And more artists for the comics they've been releasing.

Well, Evan drew for the Frontiers trailer, which is already an improvement from more CGI.

And the monthly what if stories do allow us to see a different artist, so that's great

The point of an open world game isn't to break it. Because then you end up with a game that's, well, broken, and invites negative feedback. The point is to have a fun experience. Part of what a vocal minority of Sonic players like is speed runs and breaking stages, but that's not for everyone. That seems to be why certain limitations and abilities are walled off until completion, even after the DLC.

Addendum to my note about Rouge in the Cream comic: Faye said Rouge is her favorite character! I like that. Rouge is top 3 for me, alongside Tails and Sonic. Vector is also up there among the heroes.

I meant like, not "break" the world, but traveling around it should be fun. Knuckles being able to climb walls and Tails being able to fly could be fun in a world designed with those abilities in mind. Areas not designed with that in mind would be less fun to play imo. Being overpowered isn't fun.

Its a good thing one of the islands is covered in cliffs and another has a bunch of smaller, disconnected islands to travel to.

I'm more intereseted in what that monster that Eggman is intereseted in is.

Also if they ever wanted to clear up the phantrom ruby and whether or not it was made by Eggman do you think they could say the one used by Infinite was a fake one made by Eggman.

Eggman doing the archeology for ancient monsters thing again, clearly he hasn't learnt since Emerl, Chaos, and the Time Eater.

[up][up][up]This predates all of those. Also, he never did the archaeology for, or lost control of Emerl until the very end, he just lost interest way too early.

I wish they didn't telegraph so much the Trip would have a Heel–Face Turn. Ever since she was introduced it's been like the most obvious thing about her, and the game isn't even out yet. The only real mystery is what she looks like under that armor, and what she'll play like, since it's most likely she'll be unlockable.
