but IJ and the first season of mia are the only good things to come from them
I respect your opinion, if you liked mia, but in a matter of sharing opinions - i really gave a try to every single game of them, i didn't skiped any dialogs and rly wanted to get involved, but they failed to get me involved. i can count by fingers on one hand the number of _scenes_, not games, just scenes which were more or less exciting, but other stuff... is boring too much.
compared to the original this one they did is chopped up and about as half as long but with better animations
i still don't know how came that one studio decided to continue or better to sate - rerender and translate into renpy engine the abandoned rpgm game of another studio, but we have what we have, with no explanation about it. if to compare with the "original", i'd better call it - previous - then yes, the scenario was longer and there were quite many scenes and whole routes that they cutted out, but they also added something, quite interesting too, however - the scenario is not solid and full of holes.
i saw it directly when i was inspired so much after finishing IJ that i wrote my own try to restore scenes and scenarios which they was cutted out or turned into a meaningless circus, like Jerry's fuckwife ending. i enjoyed the version of full story in my imagination, but i curse the person who called IJ finished and throw it away into market in such a raw, castrated and buggy condition as we see it now...
