About the QTE being missing from the Philine content that was ported from the old Another Story standalone game, into this new Another Story game that has multiple choosable stories including Lusy's... Boko said he just cut the QTE because it wasn't possible to port it to the script format that he's using to make it easy to add new stories to this game.
In the first place, the Another Story game is Boko trying to come up with an easy way to tell stories using narrative text, SFX, and videos. By programming all of it into a text-based script file and loading it into the game, without having to deal with RPG Maker's GUI since he hates that. So maybe QTE's are too complex for his current motivation level. As for why he bothered to import Philine's game into the new format when it has less gameplay... I'm not sure; maybe he didn't feel like creating new content but wanted something to do, or maybe he just likes the satisfaction of having more of these stories gathered in the same game.
IMO, Boko seems to have forgotten how to have the motivation to create full battles. Like novanovakin referenced back in early November, probably the reason we got the latest Lusy story when we got it is that a fan berated Boko for inactivity on his Q&A page (see here:
Anyway, I still absolutely loved the Lusy story.

) and basically Boko responded "You're completely right, thank you for pointing this out to me, I'm going to go make the game right now". It could've taken a while longer without that question. So as long as Boko is like this, I expect periodic Another Story content, with no battle content. Hopefully one day he regains the motivation to implement battles; if that doesn't happen for a while, and he feels like he still wants to make GBH 3, it's possible that GBH 3 will have the same narrative style as Another Story but just be more interconnected. It's all up to him...Anyway, I still absolutely loved the Lusy story.
