I am aware that this seemingly unpopular opinion but

I kinda hate 2x2 updated visuals. I don’t understand why the environment needs to be more realistic. I always thought cartoony visuals were part of the appeal.

Also the art style seemingly somehow degraded over the course of past 10 years?
The overly detailed hair that looks greasy for no particular reason. The clothes on most characters look worse than before. The wrinkles did look a tad strange in the past but on so many sprites it now looks either like someone shoved potatoes into it and the cloth is dragged downwards by their weight or they look like cracks on a piece of plastic.

Also every single sprites is darker now to the point where Hyoko’s orange kimono is almost completely lost its original colour. Again I thought bright colours added to cartoony aesthetics of the franchise. But I guess nothing says whacky killing game on bright tropical island like grey splotches all over our main characters lol

I just find it all a downgrade and ugly. I wish you could swap between this garbage and old artwork.
