Featuring the voice talents of original X-Men: The Animated Series cast members including Cal Dodd, Lenore Zann, George Buza, Alison Sealy-Smith, Chris Potter, Catherine Disher, Adrian Hough, and Christopher Britton, some cast members of X-Men 97 will reprise their original roles, with others voicing entirely brand-new parts.
For those keeping track, that list covers Wolverine, Rogue, Beast, Storm, Gambit, Jean, Nightcrawler, and Mr. Sinister (but as they said, only some are continuing in the same roles).

X-Men '97 will also welcome a number of new voices to the cast, including Jennifer Hale, Anniwaa Buachie, Ray Chase, Matthew Waterson, JP Karliak, Holly Chou, Jeff Bennett, and AJ LoCascio.

There's two backup options, one for account settings and one for specific character settings. Hotbars are on the second. Only thing I can think of, though I've only used it on PS4/PC and not the new PS5 version so there could be issues.
Okay yeah, I was using the wrong one, thanks.

They revealed what was removed from the soundtrack right before release and it's just embarrassing. They obviously withheld as long as they possibly could before the game came out to minimize the impact it would have, being able to get in front of anyone complaining about it by claiming that they told them ahead of time.
I'd heard it's all the same songs that were removed from other rereleases; is that not the case? Or is it just that for something called "Definitive" they should've gone to the effort to get those back?

Miles Morales is a free PS5 version if you have it on PS4 but the first game requires an extra purchase. Cheaper if you have MM though. Avengers is also a free upgrade. As is Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. All of the above also let you import your old saves, though the Marvel games make you upload from within the PS4 version whereas Jedi lets you just use your old save directly as long as its on your PS5 (whether transferred during setup or using PS+ cloud storage).

Also - Isabelle told me who our visitor was today! An excellent addition.

Rolling through 5.4 today. Probably going to try to do some raid story catchup this weekend; my wife will be out of town so I'll have some extra time available. Haven't decided which one to do first though. Still need to do all of Omega and Eden, the second and third parts of Ivalice, all of Void Ark, and haven't even started the Nier quest chain. Oh, and Coil T9 and beyond. Almost forgot about that.

Also looked up what I still need to do for the platinum if I want to stick with my goal of getting that before moving to the PS5 version.

67 Guildhests
84 successful Materia affixed
730 FATEs
909 Levequests

So...that's going to be a while.
