I am torn. On one hand, I can tell a lot of work went into this with all the new elements, background, character designs, and new mechanics... BUT at the same time it feels like such an abrupt and odd decision to fully redesign the look of the game halfway through the story, after we have become so familiarized with it and it's characters.
I looked at my save file from the last time I played this game and it was two years ago. With this new version, starting the story from scratch, it looks like there will be a lot more waiting before we can resume where the story left off.
Idk, I'm glad the game is back, but I do feel some of the hype has left me after such a long hiatus only to come back to something that looks very different.
