Love & Legends was such a fun VN to begin with, but to restore it with such BEAUTIFUL new character sprites really breathes new life into the restoration. I'm loving the character designs, and as a loyal Altea and Reiner main- WOOF, what a glow up!!!! Saerys as well stood out to me in a positive way- the new take on his heterochromia has such a lovely eerie effect, and I really appreciate the greater variety in bodies and frames, ex: August the knight vs Iseul the archer. As someone who considered a few LSV rewrite ideas myself I really love the strike (lol) of balance between loyalty to the original writing with the occasional tweak to account for things like MC having an adorable nightgown sprite, or just the opportunity to add variation in nameless background characters.
Re: technical feedback, I was unable to unlock the episode library on Altea's route, although Reiner Saerys and August's became available during their Ep. 11. In the same route I attempted to fiddle with the autoplay speed but it was on full throttle even at lower settings. Also, the choice function from the original app was available, splitting the scene between <open up to Altea> where you sneak away with her and <go talk to Reiner> where you tattle on her plan to forge ahead and hit the Witch Queen's castle early. This is the only choice split offered so I assume it was unintentionally left in from another draft? Finally I think in August's route right after the prologue my character was referred to as "Yuna", which iirc is the stand in name for the L&L MC. None of these are huge issues and by all means I still enjoyed the game a LOT, but i know little details like that in a game can trip up the devs and come back to bite them when they least expect. I'll be keeping up with this remake, looking forward to Season 2 updates! <3
