Ahaha, the instant I saw this new protagonist I knew people would have such a love/hate relationship with her seeing as Crystal has been debunked for this remake. She wasn't particularly my favourite female playable character, so it's something I don't actually mind.
Incidentally, I actually like seeing new characters and their somewhat fresh designs, and while we've all been looking forward to a GS remake while it was still considered a rumour and high demand. But now that we finally have it, it's better to just enjoy everything that it provides, including any new characters, or if not...you'll get used to it. Probably would be easier done when you actually play the game.
