Old Aurelion Sol vs. New Aurelion Sol - Which One Do You Prefer?

Guys, I just wanted to hear the opinions of those of you who actually played the old Aurelion Sol (before the rework). Between the old and the new version, which one do you prefer, and why?
I personally really prefer the old one. Even though he was considered “weak,” his gameplay and mobility were much more interesting and engaging than what we have now, where you basically just press one button while flying. I really, really miss the old Aurelion. There was even an inside joke among a group of friends that went: “ball, spit, ball, spit.”

You’ve probably already gotten a lot of questions like this, but I’ve only recently started using Reddit and just joined this community.
