Precisely.
I am going to spend upwards of $100-150 on this game, as I purchased the SE for my little brother and I'll have to buy the other paths + DLC for myself. I should have had all this info prior to making these purchases. I am still going to play this thing after a year of impatient waiting, but if I had known about these changes sooner I would have chosen to skip. I was so excited for Fates. These changes and general lack of caring from NOA are disrespectful because they have not informed their very picky fanbase about them. Also, this game is all that my little brother has talked about for the last year, and he's even more upset about the changes than I am. Way to ruin his birthday present.
