Perhaps this topic has been raised before (and more than once), but I would like to discuss the appearance of the main characters, or more specifically, I’ve narrowed it down to the TEACHERS+And a couple of characters worth attention, as discussing the others would take too long. I’ve done an upscale to show you how these characters might look in a normal resolution (at least FullHD), since the game is tied to a 4:3 resolution, which is very strange, as the old RPG Maker Ace engine stretches images perfectly (without black borders, thank goodness). Yes, they might look a bit blurry, BUT it all depends on the images themselves. I changed the game's resolution using RPG Maker MV, BUT if I change the game's resolution, the in-game events (and such) occur in a small window, and I don’t know how to expand it. As I said, this is very strange. BUT let’s get back to the main point: the redesigned characters look very (SCARY) at 800x600 resolution because they are compressed. I reworked them for 4k+ and want to share how it would look, while also mentioning that I didn’t change ANYTHING else. Based on this, I’ll also say a few words about the characters' appearance, i.e., whether I liked the changes (personally) or not, and which characters perhaps shouldn’t have been changed. I apologize for such a long text, but it was necessary for clarity.
P.S. I will provide for comparison 1) what the character looked like BEFORE, 2) what the character looks like now, 3) what he will look like after my Upscale. Due to the HUGE size of the photo, I can't upload it here, so I'll share the link.
Bauman -The changes clearly benefited her.
Bliss(Bodyguard) -here it seemed to me that the old version is better, a very stupid facial expression in the remade version + there are no breasts + during dialogues she looks in glasses and like in the old image (obviously a minus and not a revision).
Brenda -This is also not a successful character change and even Upscale doesn’t save her, although it makes her less scary.

Сarmen -A completely new character-I think this character is one of the successful ones.
Evans-A completely new character -I'm not very interested in this character, so the ratio is 50/50
Glober-There are practically no changes (in appearance).
Jordan-The changes are clearly for the better, BUT there is something clearly wrong with her eyes. And if you think I did it on purpose, no, the original photo has exactly the same situation.
Liss-The changes are clearly for the better, now at least he doesn't look like some kind of hippie.
Headmistress-It has definitely gotten better + (it seems to me) it is very similar to Bridgette B and this is an extra point (personally from me).
Tailor-This particular character caused me the most doubts - was it worth changing her? On the one hand - the new appearance (judging by the ANIMATIONS!) is not worse than the original, but the original is not inferior either. In short - the case when both versions were good and it is very difficult to choose one.
Turner-The changes were definitely beneficial and the 2nd of my favorite characters (among the teachers!!!)

I think we can draw conclusions - the changes were 50/50 for these characters, not all of them fit well with the new images, I haven't even taken into account the characters of the hero's FAMILY (they were slightly changed) - for example, Lucy in the old version she goes to a meeting in a mini-skirt, in the new version she stands in a black outfit, this is a small thing, BUT it seems to me it was better.
The changes were good = Bauman, Jordan, Liss, Headmistress, Turner.
The changes only made things worse = Bliss -_-, Brenda.
There is no point in naming the rest, because they are new characters or practically unchanged old ones.
So we are waiting for another remake of a remake, when the author deigns to release the photo in normal resolution proportions.
