Minor wall of text incoming
TL;DR is that I'm reluctantly optimistic but my expectations are fairly low.
I really really want to have faith in Snats on this but damn those character remodels are uh. . . not confidence inspiring, I'll say. Esp the MC, half of his charm was that he was just as much a femboy as anyone else in his world but his mischevious attiude (and footlong dick) let him run around doing whatever or whoever he wanted; was a fun trope. The new one looks more like some dude and I get the sinking feeling his personality is also gonna change from "cute and horny" to "prickish and horny" which would probably ruin the game outright for me.
For the family I actually like a majority of them (Jeanne excluded), Jaz looks 1000x better and I could probably get used to Jill and Jaiden's new looks fairly quickly, but damn some of the side characters got done dirty. Nora specifically was my fave and this new look is. . . it's not bad but it just fails to capture the same things I liked about the old one. I know it's been said a million times in this thread but Jeanne looks like an entirely different person to the point that I'd be genuinely impressed if Snats can pull off the same character she used to have and make it work even slightly.
In all honesty I'm not even opposed to the idea of TW getting a remake, to put that out there.
The game as it currently exists is rough around a lot of edges and I could completely understand wanting to maybe tweak some bits of the story, some character designs, etc. etc. Might be a hot take but Jaz easily had the worst design in the game and I completely approve of her redesign, no questions asked.
But like, did the entire cast need to be redone in their entirety? Did we really need 2 (or 3, can't recall) brand new family members? Did we really need an entirely new MC who has an entirely different place in the world and had his old spot taken by a new character? All of this stuff just feels like changes for the sake of them and I really worry that this is just inventing problems just to solve them, which almost always results in a worse product than we started with.
All in all I'm gonna stay tuned regardless, I like this game too much to just ditch it over an update that's not even out yet, but damn I'm not all that excited for it.
the Jaiden ass buff is kinda crazy though so maybe it was all worth it
