I like Marona as a character, but Nippon Ichi's 3d-chibi stuff makes her look really awful, just like it did for all the other recent games/characters they've put this stuff into. With this and ridiculous prices, I'm losing faith in Nippon Ichi as a developer. They made so many of my favourite games, but having them look like this is just a shame. Don't let them do this to Marona. Don't buy this....

would be a pity if localizers were to ruin it.

just asking

Am I the only one sad to see its deep chibification?

Are the original voice actors from the Japanese and English voices back for the new game? I'm pretty sure I didn't hear Ash say anything that he didn't say in the first game, and reusing his old lines without at least paying him is pretty poor form, if not possibly illegal. Also, I sure got sick of "You'll go no farther! For her sake, I will not fail!" after about the third time. I replayed the original game earlier this year....
