>>56172149I mean I get the point you're making, but it's not justified. Undella and Lacunosa weren't in the main Campaign of BW1 anyway, and everything after Plasma's terror attack on opelucid is back to being brand new anyway (frigate, three new routes, new gym city, new victory road, marine tube, etc.). That section of the game is honestly great. They correctly chose to repeat the middle of the game (castelia-mistralton) as opposed to anything else, because making the beginning and end pretty much all new feels like optimal design.
Also, there's also the cresselia quest in the strange house
As for what you said about reversal, I'd have to agree it would have been cooler so. It would ruin the dichotomy between it being either a dormant or active volcano depending on a version (not making sense to be both at once), but fuck it, that'd be pretty cool. They both look great.
