Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom novel, by Liu Goto. Chapter 3 and end of vol.01:
Afterword: - Work on the novelization started in 2019, four years ago. - Illustrations are by Tomofumi Ogasawara. - Volume 2 to be released on March 26. That should be the first half of the movie, so I suppose vol.2 will be enough to cover the back half of it.

He only mentions Morosawa in passing, when he said he reviewed the plot she left behind.
Aside from that, the novel was a foray in screenplay writing, which he wasn't familiar with, but he was able to pull through with the "guidance of the director and producers". The feedback apparently ran both ways. He does mention that when he was writing for the SEED television series, he found inspiration in foreign dramas he admired, especially those made by sci-fi authors. He also jokes that it's making him feel old, seeing how he's coming back to SEED after two decades. Also, he specifies that at the time he was penning the afterword, he had yet to watch the completed movie.

Also, according to the translator (Deacon Blues, who is/was a member of this forum back in the SEED/Destiny heyday), there are movie scenes that Liu Goto omitted in his novel - unspecified for now. There is, by the way, a second Freedom-related official novella ("Week 1 Attendee Special Gift A", I believe) - a sequel to the movie, featuring a date between Athrun and Cagalli and shedding light on their relationship - that hasn't been translated yet. Also: check your PM inbox.

- Vol.1 (already on sale) and 2 (to be released on the 26th of this month) cover the movie itself. Since vol.1 concluded with the destruction of Archangel, it is safe to presume that vol.2 will be enough to cover the second half of the movie. The two "Week 1 Attendee Special Gifts" were novellas gifted to the first moviegoers, not available for sale afterwards. - Special Gift A (dunno the working title) takes place a couple of months after the events of the movie and revolves around Athrun and Cagalli trying to have a date despite the trappings of their respective positions; it elaborates on their complicated relationship and essentially cements the AxC ship. - Special Gift B is the Moonlight Valkyrie novella, which is a prequel to the movie and explores the relationships between Shinn, Luna, Rey and Agnes and their past at ZAFT Academy. Mostly Agnes-centric.

They're just getting started. No way will Bandai and Sunrise not try to capitalize on all the success. Be it a new TV series, or another movie, or hell even a sequel manga, Cosmic Era is making a return. Could take some time. But I strongly believe this isn't over.

So yeah, Bandai's decision can be a real mystery sometimes.

there's already a prequel OVA reportedly in the works (as in storyboards, script complete). plus Fukuda along with the film producers have teased what the status of the characters are after the movie.
