I played through the demo, so I'm well aware a lot of things have changed. Hell, I knew they were going to be called Benevodons before the game was officially ported/remade simply because that's how they are referenced in Children of Mana and Heroes of Mana. I just think God-Beasts sound cooler, and a little perplexed they didn't just stick with Mana Beast because the Japanese term they use for the eight of them is the same one as the final boss in SoM.
If I can ever get a disposable income again after this pandemic, I'm looking forward to playing through the Remake, because the demo really impressed me.
