It was a large character change and I'm still trying to figure out if it works. Maeve kinda changed into a nervous, overprotective mother figure, which is different from her serene and composed character from 4.2. And Lilith is just really standoff-ish now.
Okay, I finished playing the update in just one sitting, I came to give some of my opinions on it.
Well, starting off, I wanted to say that I loved the new intro, I like it better than the old one, showing a bit of Arthur's and Jade's past really adds an extra layer to their characters and to their relationship, I also liked that it was even explained why Annie was there at that moment.
Now, for the characters, Maeve's redesign is awesome, I really liked it, there's not much to add, she hasn't changed much, Lilith improved a lot, not just for the sprites, but for the personality, she's still a silly sleepy teacher, but now she shows herself to be responsible and even serious as you would expect someone with a position like her to be, I still love Jade, I liked the new scenes with Annie, they are very cute and suit her character, Celine is still my favorite, Agnes' personality really makes me very interested in her whole character and I liked her new interactions, Lulu and Elizabeth still need to be explored a little, about Elena, I don't really have an opinion on her yet, she definitely looks interesting, but I'll wait a bit to form my opinion.
One small thing that I noticed is the fact that due to this sudden change in the storyline, many of the texts ended up being very inconsistent, for example, the old intro is still mentioned a few times, with Lilith being mentioned being there even though she's only introduced in the academy now, that's pretty easy to ignore for me, but people who just found the game may have a hard time trying to connect the pieces together, the dialog from this period may need a revision.
Regarding the new interaction options, wonderful, you guys are really heading towards the "sandbox visual novel" path you wanted, I'm curious about what are y'all going to do with this in the future.
The game still suffers from a small problem that I mentioned in my other comment here, which is the fact that it is very silent, especially in specific parts, such as in some events from 4.2, but that can be solved easily and it isn't a major problem.
I think that's all, I see that the wait was worth it, I'll be eagerly awaiting the next update.
God damn it, I fell asleep twenty minutes before the update.
Thank you for this beautiful game! And thanks to the community for making this waiting experience one of the best that I had on Itchio. You are the most insane people I've seen, please never change
Haven't made much progress rereading the text, so I still have all the new content ahead
I don't know if I like the new intro, I miss a lot of scenes from it, wish there was that one art with younger Jade smiling; but I do like that the relationship between Arthur and Jade are kinda less complicated now. The text also still mentions the old intro when you talk to Annie at the plaza.
Loving practically everything so far. Though this might be a bit nitpicky, I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the slight lipstick on Maeve's new design. It's, admittedly, a very minor detail. I just think it clashes with the style of every other character, given they lack that detail. A very minor pet peeve for a very nice update.

Honestly I prefer the old Maeve and Lilith they feel more interesting and likable but still love your game
