I just finished the latest playthrough and had to come here and see if others were feeling the same as I and it seems a lot do.
I like the game but not as much as I used to. pieces of story have been removed from S1, charters have been remodeled (some so much so that it ruined them ie. Ruby, Tracy), the story has become frayed (stuff repeating in S2 as though it hadn't already been in S1), and it's gone from a choice based VN to static. I've seen speculation that it's being continued by a new dev and I can definitley see how that could seem possible. If that's the case, why do this if you do not plan to expand on the existing template? It's almost like they didn't bother mapping the story and events that had already taken place. If it's as others say, the original dev is returning from hiatus, I'm sure you are eager to utilize new ideas but doing so to the point of this is a huge mistake.
I've been very disappointed and frustrated with S2. It's become nothing more than a poor attempt at continuing what was a promising game.
