Makes sense as to why some conversations weren't included, but I can't help but find it a shame to not have seen G explaining who and what and when and why he is, and more potentially amusingly Remilia's reactions to all of that. She'd already shown several flashes of incredulity about him, and while the non-standard circumstances of her own life, and no doubt the word of Sakuya, would help her eventually take it all on board the process seems like it'd be amusing, for an observer at least.
