If the Direct only includes Arceus and DP Remake, I'm not that interested. I have serious doubts about the direction of both projects, and I don't think they have enough time to adress them before release.

Only way they can convince me to get DP remake is if there is some post-story additional content. I actually like the art style, but that isn't an appeal enough for me. I'm anxious to see what kind of improvements have been made to Legends: If the world feels more filled out or still rather empty.

Yes, finally!! It's about time to know more about Arceus, and to see the visual changes in the remakes. I have good vibrations with this pkm direct.
