@hanar did anyone ever look at the content of the EC files? Would be interesting if the large size wasn't because of the pictures.
Yes we did look at the content of the EC files, and the main reason why the EC is so big is because of what I said earlier: the slideshows aren't just pictures played after each other, it's an actual full HD video-file! Which is what makes up the largest amount of the EC file-size. The file size of the EC could have been greatly reduced if they decided to render the picture slideshow in real-time, instead of using a pre-rendered video-file containing the slideshow.

Incorrect, EC is far from just a slideshow. There are multiple cutscenes in them, for every ending. Low EMS also had new cutscenes.
There are some new cutscenes, but they barely make up half of the EC file size. The biggest files are the slideshow epilogues, which are HUGE video files. This is rather dumb, because the size could have been much smaller if the slide-show was rendered in real-time, using just moving pictures, not an entire video-file.
