Revamping them however won't make me feel different. Remember the first time you fought Plesioth in the old games. He was just a fish on land. But in his element underwater, he was far more fun to fight. Now take him out of the water again. What happens ? You feel and know that something is missing and it is their core element. The same goes for Gobul and Lagiacrus. Heck Ivory was plain boring, he had nothing to offer me on land. Royal Ludroth actually fights decently on land and underwater and most of the time you don't even fight him on land. But still for him, you know that an important feature of him is missing. So making Lagiacrus on land: Good way to bring him back but definitely a horrible performance. I really want underwater combat to come back but I will say now and I will state it as a fact: It will never return, sadly.
