Well finally finished the update...hmmmm....I dunno....
The outrage here was way over the top (no surprise there though I guess). While it would have been nice to have an option not to use the chalice...even for an update....just a few renders trying to find an alternative before realising there is no other option...that adds significant dev time...and no, the MC does not force Eliza....it would though have been nice to have had far more deliberation...but depending on where that particular plot heads...can deal with that.
Pear....ohhhhh Pearl, Pearl, Pearl....seemed such a rushed plot...and yes, the MC is WAY too forgiving, considering what you can do earlier in the story to those who piss you off. Sure, OK, she my favourite character...but....the whole thing just felt off. Not the actual plot itself, have no issue with that and can see why Pearl did what she did...but it all seemed rushed/forced and we're not only way too quick to forgive her, but also forced into that decision....ehhh...I dunno.
Also, for buu...if you were going to change her....in the ways you did (character model etc)...should have been done 'next time' we see her...which could be weeks/months later in the story. Bad...sorry, but part of her appeal was her looks (when isn't it after all with anyone)...not a good change man...in my opinion. Her old look was far, far, far better. (she still my fave char though heh).
