Short answer: No.

Longer answer: Still no, but you might get a little bit more out of this one if you do? The two games exist in the same universe and they're tied together a little bit. This one has a couple of characters from Sicae and takes place (I think?) two or three years later, but they're not directly connected.
Ah thank you

I currently don’t have enough time in the day to regularly check these pages, but found myself accidently having to log in to find other info on the site. So I might be a bit late with my reaction, but here goes. When seeing that there were going to be visual changes to MBML I got pretty exited because the changes for Sicae were great. Especially the changes to Kana were awesome. But with this set of changes I have some mixed feelings. Emma her change fit perfectly, it makes her head on complete piece instead of seeing her face and hair as 2 separate parts. Klara seems fine and I am curious about her story. Freya and Sky are also really great improvements. When reading NiiChan's explanation about her face I immediately went "that was exactly what was wrong with her face", I always had the thought that something was wrong but I could explain what it was. But it was exactly as he said. I am also really glad that her hair is longer now, I can’t for the life of me understand why women have the option of having beautiful long hair but choose to walk around like they got ran over by a short circuiting lawnmower. The only minor change I would add is to change the hair from straight to wavy, this because her hair used to curl a little bit just like her sister Aine and this wouldn’t disappear when she grew out her hair (and I am biased towards long wavy hair;)). Sky I like for the same reason I liked the changes to Kana, it opens up her face nicely and makes her more cute.

Now for my concerns, Gwen and Aine. I will start with Gwen as it seems that her change will not be implemented. Short hair on a female will always be getting a big no from me, but with Gwen here it simply reminds me of this constantly recurring trope where females have a “breakthrough, moment of growth, found themselves or breaking free of real or perceived oppression” and chop of their hair to signify killing their former self. I don’t get how that kind of mutilation is necessary to prove you have improved. If you found yourself why would you have to change yourself. I already didn’t have Gwen in my top 3, however if she got this haircut I doubt I could still enjoy her scenes (my apologies as I am aware many have her as best girl, smoking simply puts me off but I will always appreciated her facilitating the harem:love:). But this was just rambling as our Gwen will in all likelihood stay the same.

Now for Aine:cautious:. It pains me to write because she was my number 1, but I don’t recognize her after the changes. Looking at least 3 years older to me seems a bit of an understatement. She look a lot older than that to me, the removal of her curls by the side of her head that made her so desirable and the grey tint in her hair make her look around 40 to 43 years old. At least to me it does, if this is our Aine going forward it seems Naomi or Moon will have to take my number 1 spot.

Nevertheless I am looking forward to the rest of the story and very curious how Leah will fit into the story now that she will be back. None of my criticism was meant to be hateful in any way, just providing a different perspective. As I, like many others, am just rather invested in these characters and can’t help myself.

Yeah, a lot of people are saying she looks like a Karen with short hair. :KEK::KEK::KEK:
But if anything, the actual Karen in the game is Aine. :LUL: She may look old in frontal view, but she looks absolutely stunning on angles. Wait till she gets in-game renders.


Now, I'm not saying that the adjustments/changes are godlike. They will take some getting used to. But the final chapter will probably run for like... another 3-4 years, so there's that. 3 if we decide to forget about Sicae and focus on this. :KEK:

Hehehe it is just a question of taste, some face features work better with short hair and others with longer, I'm actually probably one of the few that prefer her with short hair because it enables to see better her already beautiful face.

About the "Karen" label I really don't care about labels lol I'm too old to care to any labels or preconceptions/prejudices people say about other "people" even if they are from an AVN/game/movie. Usually I'm a "glass half full" kind of person, if there is something positive to say I do it, if what I have to say is negative or I simply ignore or I will tone it down and try to make constructive criticism. There is already too many "opinionism" with negativity in the world for me to pile it up even more.

It will always be a tough decision to alter the looks of a character (no matter how minor) when people are already used to them. But it is to your credit that you are always trying to improve and willing to take risks in order to get big payoffs. I will be patiently:whistle: waiting for the next release.

IT rule #1: Backup, backup, backup!
And that on multiple drives (hardware) and cloud (software).
I agree. I am not sure of where Nii-chan lives, or the cost/availability of hardware. One backup drive was dedicated to the Honey Select dedicated drive, and was maxed out. I don't know why another backup drive wasn't used. Where I am from, this is a trivial cost. There's a copy of Nii-chan's "Disaster" post in the Sicae forum.

A 4TB SSD is like 200 - 300€ on Amazon. That's not that bad. I remember paying way more when they were new.
So, a drive like this should be very affordable, especially if your livelihood depend on the data.

I'm not familiar with the situation in detail but something like happening screams of negligence and compliancy.

I was very confused after reading the discord post and them saying it wasn't worth it (in regards to taking it to a recovery shop). IDK, i'd rather spend the 150 bucks to have them possibly recover things than having to spend countless hours redoing modded assets or w/e it was.

Negligence has a huge part in it, and I'm not really blaming anyone but myself. Tbf, it was a fairly new drive. Not even a year yet.
