136 pages for $50? Yikes.
This product page at least has some interesting info. It shows more than anything they had to say in the "showcase".

What would you say is a fair price for a 136 page hardcover with glossy pages and lots of custom-commissioned, full color art? I'd love to hear the number.

Will this book be using the remastered rules?
Yes.After Player Core 1 and GM Core, i.e. this month, all Lost Omens and Rulebooks like will use Remastered rules. It will take a little while for Adventure Paths to catch up, but I’m not sure when the transition will occur (after Pathfinder 200 which has been confirmed as OGL rules)
I guess this is as good a place to ask as any: as a result of the above, will pre-Remaster non-core rulebooks (most prominently Secrets of Magic, Guns & Gears and Dark Archive, e.g. The Books With New Classes) be getting errata and possibly new printings for Remaster compliance, or no?

In some stream previously, they said it was a high probability, but only when they will find the time. So certainly not while they are still releasing the new Core books (They are still working on Monster Core and Player Core 2), and probably only as part of the new Errata cycle they were supposed to do, that was pushed back because of the Remaster kerfuffle. I wouldn't expect a full rewrite of all classes... Maybe a book per round of errata, IF they don't need more than one round for some books.
The fact that "Lost Omens Divine Mysteries" will reprint a lot of stuff from Gods & Magic, and that it takes a "new book" spot, make me things the errata rounds will be smaller than even "just" updating sanctifications, removing alignement, and revising granted spells. Granted, there was 146 deities in G&M, so even these small changes ends up being quite big. But something like Secret of Magic kinda have 197 spells... even just removing the schools and component, change alignment damage to spirit and add "sanctification" wording, make sure to stop referencing OGL terms... EVEN if they change nothing else, that would probably be quite time consuming... And they planned to do two round of Errata per years. So yeah. Will depends a lot on how much resources they CAN put on these.And new books might need to spend some times on the Errata worktable too... Heck, even the Remastered Core books have already had some people finding some typo and stuff.
This will certainly be... interesting times, as the Discworld curse say. :(
(One would also need to keep in mind that the more resources they put on these, the less resource they have to work new books, and these new books are needed to keep the company running... and the less resource they have on them, the more likely there will be errors that will need to be errataed later, meaning more need of Errata resources, meaning still less resource for new books... Oof. Not a vicious cycle they want to trigger.)

Just a note that, for LO Divine Mysteries, they are also reviewing all edicts and anathemas to make sure they are really usable by PCs. There is even a thread on the Lost Omens boards asking the community to help identify those.

[Snipped a way too big wall of text]Just a note that, for LO Divine Mysteries, they are also reviewing all edicts and anathemas to make sure they are really usable by PCs. There is even a thread on the Lost Omens boards asking the community to help identify those.
Yeah, I knew I would do some wording mistake in that wall of text. I didn'T want to make it look like it was a "quick job" rewriting the reprinted stuff. It's not merely a copy paste, even for the reprints... But yeah, This new book will 100% have a way bigger scale than any "errata" they will do to "remaster" the other already published books.
