I agree that there are more characters development in this series, which is a good thing. Though, reflecting on the game it would have to be that players play the game for the characters more than ask for more brands and appeals, which is a risk.

I do kinda love the designer story in the original series which allows audience to have better knowledge on the brands. In this series, the risk could be that audience know very little about brands and wouldn't be very eager to collect all brand cards. That doesn't say old series totalyl succeed, perhaps there were just too many brands so that some of them ended up not memorable enough, Pripara might have to face this one day. I would expect the new series have a good balance between brands and characters in future parts.
