The damn golden rule for any damn writer you don't fucking change the characters personality and the way they fucking act and dress! I have ready hundreds of books and every damn series that ever tried that failed! It's fucking common sense changing how Chiaki and Natsumi looks and dresses is just doing that breaking the fucking rules! RUINING THE FUCKING GAME!
You know why this is a rule because when a writer fucking changes the characters of the story it means he hates his own FUCKING creation and no fans want to read shit by a writer that does not love his own fucking creation!
While I personally don't like the change to Natsume's design either, I have to disagree with this on a fundamental level, because the game is still in development. It would be different if changes of this scale were made after the game was complete, but at the moment, this game is pretty much in beta. Change is to be expected at this stage.
But more importantly than the game being a work in progress, the
story is a work in progress. You said it yourself: nobody wants to read something made by a writer who hates their own content. If the writer hates their content, and they change the content until they like it... well, where's the problem? They no longer hate their content.
Change is an incredibly important part of the creation process. Drafts can be rewritten. Plotlines can be added, removed, twisted. If I had to choose between a story that changed throughout development as it grew, and a story where everything stayed the same as it was originally planned regardless of how the creator felt, I'd pick the former every time. Both as a creator and a consumer.
