Unless it was intentionally left in after Ocean changed the story, because it means something we don't know yet.That's both true and untrue. Fresh eyes are always great for catching obvious mistakes or erroneous assumptions, where the writer assumes previous knowledge on behalf of the reader. Someone who is familiar with the games can more easily find, and correct, relationship errors and plot holes. For example, the end of 4.5 where MC talks about the dangers of people discovering Nami's affection for him. That may not seem like anything to someone who doesn't know the story well, but it's an error that is easily fixed by a sentence or two. There are advantages to having someone proof that's both new to the story and familiar with it already.
And even leaving aside the rework, he once said here that the story isn't as simple as it seems, and when new pieces are added, they can change the meaning of earlier scenes or even turn it 180.
