The end result of this is basically the same as my Gundam SEED release, so I pretty much could've copy and pasted a good chunk of the description from that one.
I started with [hchcsen's release](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1514366) as a base and did this to it:
* Reencoded video and all three audio tracks using more efficient compression formats.
* Renamed files with more traditional formatting.
* Removed a shit-ton of unused fonts, freeing up even more space.
* Added three missing fonts.
* Fixed some incorrect styling syntax in some full translation subtitle tracks.
* Fixed some signs/songs subtitle tracks swapped into the wrong episodes.
* Fixed some signs/songs subtitle tracks that were just completely broken.
* Split a few additional signs/songs subtitle tracks into separate versions for each English dub track for videos that needed them but only had one.
* Fixed episode 40's Ocean dub audio including the wrong next episode preview.
There are still a few songs specific to the English dub audio tracks (both of them, although hchcsen only mentioned that being the case for the 2nd dub track) with missing lyrics in the signs/songs tracks that go with them, but believe it or not, I have a life outside of editing subtitles. Plus, I actually checked on the first of those I found, and I could find no lyrics for that version available anywhere online, and it is nigh impossible to understand just from listening to it.
So I was looking at my old Destiny DVDs that I happened upon while looking for my DS games case (a friend just returned a game that he borrowed a decade ago), and I decided people should be allowed to come to their own conclusions about this series. And to enable that, it would be great if there were a version that is simultaneously small enough that people with average network speeds, data caps, and/or average drive sizes would actually be capable of downloading it while at the same time not being crap.

Episode 50 of the original and Final Plus (which was more or less a director's cut of episode 50) were edited into episodes 49 and 50 of HD Remaster. In other words, Final Plus is here, it just isn't called that or its own separate special anymore.
Also, there is more editing that went into it than this, but episodes 42-49 of the original version are episodes 41-48 in HD Remaster. The original episode 41 was a recap episode and was skipped in the remastered version. That's actually the reason the original version's dub audio for episode 40 had the wrong next episode preview before I fixed it: it had the preview for the recap episode, and the person that edited the audio to match HD Remaster's video must've missed that part. The correct preview that I edited in was at the end of the recap episode.
P.S. The SEED and SEED Destiny HD Remaster Project originally aired on TV in Japan as part of normal seasonal anime. Which is pretty much why they did a rush job remastering it.
There is a lot more noticeable mistakes in this than the first Seed batch. This is just in the first 20 episodes.

I don't know how but the amount of mistakes increased & got worse. Not just the same grammatical errors but typos, subs for words not even being said, & incorrect punctuation. Just from episodes 21 to 30.
