Hi guys, a bit confused here. So the game has been released upto 7.2 but the remastered version is upto 3.2? Is there a massive difference in render quality/animations etc.? What about scenes/the plot? Is it basically the same or are there changes?
I'd like to try the remastered version but usually I keep playing if I like the story so might be tempted for 7.2 instead, which would be the best approach for this game?
I'll try to help you with this. Episodes 1-3 are fully remastered. Episodes 4,5, and part of 6 will be remastered, so it can be called old content. Episodes 7 and up will be in their definitive states. So episodes 4 and 5 will be getting the same overhaul as the first 3 episodes.
Plot will generally be the same with some changes to story and pacing to make it completely consistent with what changed in the earlier remasters. However, things like renders, lighting, posing, character models, animations etc will all be vastly improved. There will likely be new scenes as well. Episodes 7+ will be consistent with remasters.
Since Episode 3 was just remade, the next update will be episode 8. Then comes episode 4, then 9, and unless BG changed his mind he'll do the partial update of episode 6 when he works on episode 5. Each subsequent update takes about 2-3 months.
Feel free to play or wait as you wish. Its not necessary to wait. The game tells you when you are nolonger in remastered content. Just maintain a save and name it for when chapter 4 is updated. When episode 8 is released there will likely be an option to skip straight to that content if you wish. The story is excellent. So just keep in mind the pacing will be different in 4 and 5 compared to the rest of the game for now if you decide to continue with the old content.
I myself have chosen to start over from the beginning as I haven't played since Episode 2 part 1 was released due to taking a break from all forms of gaming and being consumed with differnt webnovels since covid hit. I've thouroughly enjoyed my experience thus far.
