Kagutsuchi's absence was disappointing, but YHVH (either of them) weren't in KKWII, so it was kinda expected.
>> IMO they're putting in art that's a bit more than just a digital recolouring of older art, so demons like Vetala (who gets redrawn into at least THREE different versions throughout MegaTen history) get in while Metatron (whose basic design, linework remain unchanged) don't get.
I'm not saying it's the only rationale, since Ose didn't get a major design overhaul, but KK decided to redraw him anyway. Codpiece and coy grin and all.
The real bulk of "new" art I'm waiting to see are from Devil Summoner/Soul Hackers and Persona.
The next KK Works'll be Devil Summoner, so I guess that's that.
Edit: Found the original release schedule of volumes for KK Works, before they had NOCTURNE moved up to slot 3.
2巻 『真・女神転生II』(SFC) 2005年春
3巻 『女神転生if...』(SFC)ほか
4巻 『真・女神転生デビルサマナー』(SS)上
5巻 『真・女神転生デビルサマナー』(SS)下
6巻 『デビルサマナー ソウルハッカーズ』(SS)上
7巻 『デビルサマナー ソウルハッカーズ』(SS)下
8巻 『女神異聞録 ペルソナ』(PS)ほか
9巻 『真・女神転生・-NOCTURNE』(PS2)ほか
10巻 補遺
So I guess that's 2 Devil Summoner books, and 2 Soul Hackers books, and then PERSONA.
