There's nothing about the 1999 original that screams "expensive".
I fucking love To Heart with every inch of my soul but the art's the kind of thing any Japanese 16 year old in the late 90s could have drawn.
You're picking at straws, there's so much better looking original visual novels versus their terrible modern counterparts you could have picked.

At least the To Heart remake's an evolution of the genre rather than the same thing but with shittier CGs. More fucking effort goes into 3D animating and 3D modeling a 30 hour visual novel and it's locations than just drawing 10-20 backgrounds, a handful of variations on sprites for clothes and expressions, and a handful of CGs.

But you're a tourist who's never read the original, watched the 1999 anime, or has plans on reading the remake so I'm not sure why I'm responding to you. You're a /v/edditor using it to fuel your underage OLD GOOD NEW BAD war.
