#I'm bad with words so explaining the minute differences in tone that occur with every ltitle change is very hard but brain go brrrrrrrrr

[firestorm09890]

thinking about how in the original GBA Chain of Memories, when Axel gives Vexen the Destiny Islands card he says “A wild card to keep the game fresh. Now don’t tell me I don’t respect my elders.” and then it comes back around later in Vexen’s death cutscene, where Axel says “NOW you can tell me I don’t respect my elders” as his last cocky one-liner before he fucking murks Vexen but then in Re:CoM it’s changed to “A humble gift to my elder. I hope you use it to put on a very good show for us.” when Axel gives Vexen the card and then Axel’s attitude during the Vexen death cutscene is completely different from the original version, with absolutely no mention of the “elder” line like why’d they do that
