Not a bad game, but it is not the same game I fell in love with.
Long time follower of the original, tried out the new version despite the negative things I've heard. I really can't call it the same game. The main appeal to me was the characters, but the redesigns are now just new girls that share the same name.
I don't think it's that bad of a game in itself, and the UI is a bit jarring since I am reminded of the old version, but I will be following along.
I AM indeed disappointed at how this turned out. The remake was promised to be an improvement to the old one, and the old story is something I will miss sorely. But like many others in this community, I will also be following this new game for now with hopes and prayers.
