>>505492>>505513I don't think they'll revert it at all. Commercial games have years-in-advance business plans so anything that some fans dislike
now may have already been set in stone 1-2 years ago, including new characters.
New characters introduce new fans to the game and get them sucked in to the series. With a unit like Special For Princess, new fans won't have something like 1000 unit-related chapters to catch up on (so a lot less overwhelming), however with a unit like Akatsuki, Ibuki will have caught new fans' interests (Ibuki being an "outsider" represents the new fans) and these new fans will have the opportunity to find out more about Keito/Souma/Kuro at their leisure afterwards and become introduced to other groups from there. I think that's why Ibuki won't be taken out of Akatsuki, he serves a purpose as a new-fan-attractor-and-stand-in.
