Also i other news, I finished Episode 6! Well, somewhat. I seem to have run into a nasty bug that will crash the Gender Studies test if the MC isn't with Maya and has mini-games turned off. Boo! So I have an incomplete runthrough and about 80 pages to catch up on in this thread, but I'll give my thoughts now before I forget them.
Overall it's pretty good. Lots of nice character moments and it does suggest something about where the story might be going from here. The length is worthy of the wait, and I'd say I'm satisfied. But I will admit I don't like a lot of the new features. The new title screen is both uglier and way to busy than the old one. The map for the DIK mansion helps navigation there, but those damn arrows are still a pain in the ass everywhere else; DPC desperately needs to learn how to maintain our kinesthetic sense during transitions!
The new mansion repair mini-game is potentially fun, but the interface is atrocious. It's a royal pain assigning dozens of points across 4 categories and 9 characters with no recourse if you misclick other than resetting the whole thing. Plus you can't review the available assignments until AFTER you spend points, meaning it's either a lot of memorization or a bloody inefficient system. As usual, mini-games remain a wickedly double-edged sword.
Also, it really makes a mess out of the personal money system. Everyone is talking about finding jobs, yet the MC has been earning money the whole time despite the two apparently being incompatible. Gameplay and story segregation, I now, but this is pushing it too far, IMHO. Also, I did explore a lot of the free-roams in a non-mini-game playthrough, but I didn't see much money in them. It looks like the mini-game/no mini-game money dichotomy is going to become much, much worse. Not what I was hoping for.
The new animations were pretty good I would say, probably a step above DPC's usual. The music was good too, but that's actually a step down from "great" the way it's been up to now. Perhaps it will grow on me with more exposure, we'll see.
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Unlocked all the scenes except the Maya & Josy scene is at 50%. Still missing some of the special renders.
Has anyone gotten the Maya & Josy scene to 100%?

Youre not missing much. If Maya didnt do the thighjob stuff with you in like chapter 2 or whatever, 100% on that scene is just that except its Josy doing it.
