    While I was playing 2.5 today, I noticed in Land of the Dragons that whenever the Emperor spoke, his mouth never even opened (as opposed to the PS2 version in which his mouth did open). Not that I'm bothered by it honestly, but I wonder what the reasoning behind this change was. Was it because it resembles how he speaks in the movie (been a while since I saw it, so I could be wrong here), or is it just the devs thinking that there was so much facial hair that realistically we'd never even see his mouth open anyway?

    I never actually noticed this until I saw your topic lol. I had to check it out for myself. His beard now covers the whole bottom part of his face. It's a very small, yet very strange cosmetic change to make. The way he was in the original KHII is like the movie- you can actually see his mouth move when he talks. No idea why they would do that. :/
