Sweet! I just heard about the Torna Drivers/Blades being added, but assumed that would be the 3rd Expansion Pass update (new Blades to be added). If this is all free that's kind of amazing. They're doing a great job supporting this game.
I'm guessing adding the three Torna drivers is just a fun bonus that won't be addressed in-story, considering they're Flesh/Blade Eaters and shouldn't be reborn the usual way. Now I hope Jin and Malos will be added at some point too. Rex and Malos can get a beer! In a few years...
And New Game+ seems to be everything I wanted, so I guess I'm replaying it! ...at some point anyway.
I'm working through side quests now, just about to get my Merc Group to level 5. Gotta say, it's fun finding new locations still. There's so much hidden in this game it's ridiculous. Nice that I have more excuses to increase my collection of Mythra against Landscape screen captures though.
