@Minty@Meemoo@SnugSmug Shit plot aside. The TLDR of this shit show is that they literally bolted a new game on top of the old one like a tumor.
Part 2 has its own characters, crafting mats, banners, currencies, upgrades, combat mechanics, etc.
HI3 was already a convoluted mess. Instead of unifying the bazilion currencies, mats and menu's like people have been asking for, they made it even worse.
Also they added NOTHING people have been asking for in this reboot. Still can't replay past events, can't replay open world stories, outright removed co-op, armada is still useless, the dorm "revamp" is a fucking joke, still can't sweep mat stages, etc etc
