The hate is basically going too extreme for the fact that people think she has replaced Crystal. It is a little too excessive for my part and shouldn't be taken so seriously. It is basically a game, you don't like one character, then play as the next. It isn't like we've had to deal with this before. There is always something that others may like better, while another set of people might not agree, but that doesn't mean you should excessively repeat your hate for something over and over again. It is one female, and more over I think people should just be glad for a remake overall. The game is meant to keep you playing, keep you interested, occupied, and most importantly, to allow you to have fun. It shouldn't be always about discriminating the way one character looks. As for me, there are things I like about her, and things I just thought could have been altered a bit, but that doesn't matter much to me. I'm playing as Gold in the game, and I think at least it'll be nice she's still givena supporting role. Half the people who ended up saying the despised Dawn from the beginning ended up turning to like her afterwards, though there are a few who still don't like her. I would expect the same for this new female as well, seeing as all we've got is one simple Sugimoro art of her and not an entire biography where you can pinpoint everything you may not like, besides her look.
