in my opinion, a simple remaster of the first game would have been good, kind of like mixing the old and the premium editions. i like many aspects of the premium edition: new characters, better animations and menus, new mc (although this is subjective, at least his model is much better and he has semblance of character, good or bad). i appreciate how much effort was put into it, and so far, with the intro and everything, it's been interesting. but i really can't say i'm looking forward to the future. i'm personally a fan of sandbox stuff, where you just go about doing all the content whenever. i don't like the new gameplay style, i don't like how some characters have been changed, and i especially don't like the stats stuff, which i can only assume will gate you from some content later on. we've already seen how one simple choice can completely change up the game (which mentor you get to pick). if this new premium edition was just a remaster of the old one, with a new intro that better fleshes out new characters and the setup for the game, and then enters into the sandbox it used to be, i think it'd be a lot better. no huge focus on some new story, no big decisions; just a better polished experience.
