In an attempt to bring the forum back to game discussion,
Torimiata what would you say are your top 3 favorite scenes in the remake (Either released already or in future updates)?
I'm curious which scenes didn't match your vision in the original version of the game, but you are happy with now
I could probably talk about that all day
I know it's more verbose and hopefully I'll find places to cut some bits here and there but I would say the script is
much better in general - for anyone that enjoys slow-burns that is.
I barely had character backgrounds planned in the OG. The structure was also all over the place.
Even the recent backstory flashback with Ayumi at the bus stop is a pretty cool one for me. In the original, it barely touched on their history together. It just stated they were friends.
I think that being able to show that vulnerable moment with her mom's illness and how their first kiss came to be gives so much more weight to their relationship.
I also love the atmosphere of that type of scene. The whole shift from overcast to rain to sunshine. Super trope-ish but little symbolic touches make me happy (that probably go unnoticed but who cares...)
I like the OG for many things but I genuinely think people have rose-tinted glasses. An obvious example to me is the bukkake imagination scene at the end of Day 2. The scene came out exactly how I wanted in the remake and putting that scene side-by-side is a clear reminder of the difference in quality. Maybe it hits differently if you already expect it but you have to also consider first-time players.
My actual favorite scenes are all coming in Act 2 though. Everything now is building foundation for when things really start heating up.
I do think the script on the pool HJ scene is already much stronger in the remake and I'm really looking forward towards the outfit room.
