As beautiful as the watercolor artwork is, the game is really suffering from the low polygon count of a game built for the PS2 era. The “simlish” style vocals of gibberish accompanying the text on screen hasn’t become any less annoying over the years either. A genuine vocal track, even if it was in Japanese with English subtitles, would definitely be preferable.
