Is it because these two games suffer from the voice sample lag and Playmore are going to fix it? I hope so.
I thought this might be the case because they're not re-releasing KOF 99 DM and KOF 99 Evolution, which don't have problems with voices.
Is this the case, or is there another reason for only re-releasing Garou and LB?

Well... It was a good assumption, but the fact is SNK did re-release both KOF'99 DM & KOF'99 Evolution previously. So it's not too surprising to see the re-releases of Garou & LB:FE would be joining them now. Although "fixing" those annoying voice lag problems for the re-releases would be a good idea, I doubt that will happen...

Re-releases tend to remain the same. The company probably wants to cater to the DC crowd while it's still there.

There ot might be several reasons; ut to name one; let us say that if the previous disk has endured any damage a re-lease will be nice...
The other is like what Nintendo did for the SNES; sell again it's best game before it becomes dust.

If there was a re-release of KOF98 for the Dreamcast that was done like the Gekka no Kenshi 2 port (i.e. same backgrounds, same music, load times minimized, etc.) it would mean I was in heaven. I don't think I am in heaven though.

You'd be in heaven if SNK didn't hit bankruptcy but instead thrived like Capcom.

Well, DC LB2FE did have bonus Hanafuda game (addictive Japanese card game) + art gallery... Guess they were aiming it to be the ultimate edition of LB2. DC version is good, but I feel they missed the mark somewhat. (thanks to voice lag glitch & washed out color)
So, I don't think you're missing out much, especially if you own a MVS cart.

I think they are smart to re-release. More Japanese companies should do this. Some Japanese companies don't like that people buy and sell used games. Well this would be a way to get more people to buy new games.

There are some differences like extra stuff. It comes with a video card game with the characters pictures on the cards for example. I heard the big sillies at SNK took the card game out of the English version.

They're rereleasing both Garou and LB2 because Garou and LB2 both sold really well. Also keep in mind that Garou and LB2 were set to be rereleased right before SNK declared bankruptcy so it's possible a final copy/packaging/etc. was already manufactured and they just had to make more of them. Easy money. :)
"""Why's the Dreamcast version of Last Blade 2 called Final Edition? Does it have any difference then teh MVS version that cost me a pretty penny?"""
Basically, it's a port of the NeoCD version of the game plus the hanfuda mini-game (this is only in the Japanese version) and a nice art gallery. It also has most all of the cutscenes/endings from the original Last Blade on it that you can watch whenever. Uses the OST sound track instead of the AST but it's understandable since the AST tracks are full flowing symphonic pieces that would be ill-suited to a two minute fight (though had they more resources at the time I supposed they could have cropped up the ASTs as was done normally for several NeoCD games).

In either case, it might give some of us a chance to own the uncensored import at a cheaper price. I'm not sold on a game for gore; I actually think the excessive fake blood in the Mortal Kombat series made the game look worse. But having played the AES version, since the blood was done so artfully here (and it's barely noticeable when it's white), I think it's worth picking up the import.
