/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I decided to play kuon no kizuna and got the fullvoice edition of the game, which seems to be the exact same game at a more decent resolution and with the most content available.
However, it has a fucking weird design choice, it uses the backgrounds and CGs from the original game (pic related) but the sprites themselves are updated (similar enough but more modern in coloring and stuff).
I'm not complaining since the CGs actually look pretty good, but if they were going for that they could have just use the original sprites, they probably would look good at this resolution too.
Just weird, really.
