So what you're saying is that the new update has content that becomes available at 'x' story progress with the girls, and is more geared towards returning players rather than players playing from the start? As in, a player who has just hit continue from 0.17 won't see it as a problem since these dreams will appear when everyone is at the previous max level, but a new player has to level up the girls so these trigger at odd timings?
That's interesting, and important to know. Haven't done a playthrough in quite some time but I'm curious as to whether this is an issue with the narrative flow caused by the addition of new content, or a simple oversight.
