The most annoying part, is the CORE of the remade system is actually pretty good. Throw in side areas and quests, make battles give something meaningful a la exp or LOOT, and it would be fine.
AND the new battle screen is great, I was super excited my first fight, seeing Saria on one side and the enemies on the other was super cool, and I enjoyed seeing the cut-ins into my turn instead of just brief flashes in-between. There's plenty to like about the overhaul.
The biggest negatives are:
The loss of non-sexual character progression. With no EXP/loot ect, fights feel more like a barrier or ceremony that simply exists, and is simply NOT interesting enough to be fun on it's own.
The loss of the corruption mechanics removes BOTH the interest in seeing Saria succumb to the lewd dangers of the wastelands, AND the players interaction with that fact.
adding in the ability for her to prostitute herself based on corruption, just doesn't feel as interactive at all IMHO.
And the worst part is, I don't understand WHY this change was made or WHY the dev is SO resistant to it.
90% of the 'baldmen.jpg's were already complete. Hell, many of the voicelines were even VOICE ACTED. (Are all those lines just straight up wasted now?)
You could literally take your old pictures, re-implement the system, draw the like IDK 3-5 that were left, and THEN if you were so keen on these 'unique' H-attacks, implement them on unique enemies.
Suddenly, pretty much everyone is happy.
Instead the dev created MORE work by scrapping pretty much all the old content from the game, all the time creating the maps, the sprites, the in-battle stuff, the systems, AND the money wasted on hiring a voice actor. All gone.
