My comment to the new, revamped version:
Since I was really engaged with the game because of creating my mod (took some days - probably weeks), I was a bit afraid of the "revamp". You somehow build up a relationship to the characters, and it's hard to continue with such a extrem change in the appearance of these ones. Surprisingly, however, I didn't have that much trouble with most of them.
Mostly I was afraid of the new Paris (my favourite so far) - but (at least for me) she wasn't that bad. Nevertheless I found the old Paris somehow sexier, the new one is funnily enough more generic (although that's exactly why the model was changed...). Also I liked the old hairstyle and color a bit more. But: in a few scenes I even liked the new model already more - so on the whole she's ok for me.
Sasha is mostly a bit better, sometimes a bit worse, but all in all the new version is ok.
Sabrina is a giant leap forward, she is way better then before.
But, well, only Miracle, who I really liked in the new preview pictures before, took a step back. I dont know why, but the old version was better. The complete facial expression is mostly not good anymore. Well, she was made a bit older, but in some pics now she looks to old. And for the most pics she has lost this "innocent" part of the old version a bit. But again, even her (in my opinion) a bit poorer look than before isn't that bad.
So was the revamp really necessary? I dont know, but for a game player I have to admit, it was mostly not. But of course the technical side is better then before, eg the lightning and so on. And if that was the reason for the dev to do it, then it's ok. Once again, there is no reason for me to stop playing the new game, which is actually more than I expected and even feared.
Side note: I've updated my Mod for the revamped version, here the
