I don't mind both. I think both is good. These things usually aren't zero sum. Not every ounce of effort put into this could have been translated to a new game, and some of what they try here may go to a new game, just like they did with awakening followed by echoes of wisdom.
Plus this sort of thing has value to enough people, personally i love it. It's not unlike... When you want to go on vacation sometimes you go back to places you've already been but really enjoyed being at. This is like that. I enjoy going to somewhere new, but I also enjoy revisiting somewhere I've been before and seeing it again.
Yeah I’m still excited and I’m going to play it, but the desire for something new lingers.
Also just for some dark humor, generally if I return to a vacation spot for a second time, it isn’t as good lol. Things are more expensive, development (or disaster) causes the scenery to change for the worse, the weather doesn’t cooperate… it doesn’t always happen and there are a few places that have always been excellent, but most - given enough time - lose that charm that made them so special the first visit.
