To add it with 400MB more, I can only hope for some surprise 
and for comparison
Higurashi didn't grow so much from Minagoroshi-hen to Matsuribayashi-hen and it has much more text |
System requirements aren't really a good indicator of the amount of contents on one disk. All of my Higurashi disks had 500MB of disk space as requirement, regardless of it being a 1-chapter only disk (Meakashi-hen disk) or a 4-chapter disk (Matsuribayashi-hen disk). Even my Rei disk had the same requirement.
I would guess that the DVD-ROM format for EP2 is because Ryukishi07 finally broke the 650-700MB data limit offered by one CD (since he did mention there will be a collection of new musics for EP2), and the 1GB space requirement is just there as a precaution.
