What, specifically, was changed in the update?
Life can seem a challenge. Life can seem impossible. It's never easy when so much is on the line.

There's bits and pieces throughout the topic, but most notably Mari's and Asuka's plig suits have been recolored, eyes have been changed/improved, one or two line changes (both Asuka, but pretty minor, during combat against Mk.09), and one of those downed...military things in Central Dogma now carries the Wille.

It's mostly polish I'd say. In their own words to make it look closer to Shin.
Shinji: "Sooner or later I'll be betrayed... And they'll leave me. Still... I want to meet them again, because I believe my feelings at that time were real."
Ryuko: "I'm gonna knock ya on your asses!"
-Asuka: THINK IN GERMAN!!! -Shinji: Öh... Baumkuchen...

Good. I was hoping they didn't retcon anything story-wise.

Same. The movie's length is also perfect.

I always felt like if there were any retcons, they'd have been just subtle change in details to make the intended message more clear, it's not like Anno to outright change the plot after the fact. Good to hear that that seems to be the case indeed.

The movies function on their own terms. If people can't accept them on those terms, and keep expecting them to be NGE, then they probably should have realized a while ago that they weren't going to have a good time. ~ Words of wisdom courtesy of Reichu

Well, that at least tells us that the changes are in no way crucial, even if nice to have.

A couple of the changes described were visible in the digest video. One was Asuka's plugsuit being altered. The other was Eva 13's wings being purple.

They appear to have a moving texture on them, indicating that they are indeed likely made out of core. Purple core can also be seen in the original cut of the film forming the "iris" in the crater around Nerv HQ.
Someday I hope that we'll be reunited if that is what's destined to be. Perhaps we'll discover that elusive bible. And then we will finally be free!

Ah, the spears glow. I do not recall them glowing in the OG cut
I wanted to try harvesting the rice

I wanted to hold Tsubame more

I wanted to stay together forever with the boy I like

They do, it's one of those things I wasn't really paying attention to when it was happening. I was more concerned about the spears just looking a bit more...cartoony than I would have liked; but this is just a nitpick.

Please just call me Ian, "TheFrisky" is more of a title.

OG Preview

Shinji Ikari still hasn't found himself after losing the will to live.
His destination will teach him hope.
The Human Instrumentality Project Begins
And WILLE fights the Final Battle to Prevent the Final Impact
The Wunder pierces through the Sky
Unit 08+02 sprints over the face of the Red Earth
Next : New Evangelion Theatrical Version : Final
There will be plenty of Fanservice until the very end!

Updated NEP

Misato and WILLE carry out an attack to Settle it All
Asuka and Mari operate heavily wounded Eva's to Settle it All
Shinji Ikari confronts his father to Settle it All
Then Shinji makes a decision,
Goodbye all of Evangelion
Next Time : Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 
There will be plenty of Fanservice until the very end!


I kind of like the OG more but I'm glad they fixed the NEP to make it look nicer all the same.
