I'm having trouble even finding any information about the original character artist. The wikia credits Hiroshi Konishi for character design and concept art, but I can't find much information about his other work. This interview mentions that he also drew some characters for Radiata Stories.
So I guess he lives in a cave somewhere and couldn't be reached to come back to do new illustrations for the remake.

That's terrible. I mean, short hair is already better than long one by default, and that's the only problem the new design had. Stupid Atlus, didn't they know that short hair have moe appeal too?
Probably to give the game a coat of fresh paint and reach a... wider audience.
Despite the drastic change because of the artstyle and the stupid longer hair, it's surprising that they still managed to keep her personality intact.... somewhat.
I mean, I've been through a lot worse redesign. It's so bad that even my mind seems mentally blocked it to prevent me from remembering it.

Games with moe art sell like shit unless there's a powerful brand name behind it. It's not attractive to most consumers. "Otaku bait" is about the most niche audience you can possibly go after.
This character art probably just came on the cheap. There's a million artists who could draw these.
This game wasn't ever going to get a bazillion sales and it would have been cheaper to just use the old art. Atlus is definitely trying to broaden the audience a bit and to use new art to convince gamers to double dip.
It's a shame this is disappointing looking for most fans.
Well I originally titled it as just a remake not "full remake" but the thread title got edited by a mod, so I wasn't meaning to set up expectations.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Well, if/when it comes stateside, I'm sure there will be a less ridiculous way to get the original art. And all things considered, this is probably still going to be the best version of the game.
I am still hyped.

I mean, at least the new art isn't outright bad. But it is disappointing and not as good as the old art; what's even up with Eruca's hair?
Still happy there's an easier version for friends to play, and that there's gonna be new content but... hoping that DLC is easy to get in the US release.

I dont have a Switch yet and I'm kind of annoyed this is on the 3DS. I can already play this game on that platform.
Sigh, that's not a remake. . . if the new scenario is good and adds a decent amount of content, and if the voice acting isn't terrible I'll get it. The art isn't a deal breaker for me, but it would be great to be able to easily have access to the original art.
Y'know, assuming this is brought over.

3DS really does have an amazing library of RPGs. Kind of reminds me of the PS1/2 glory days.
Will buy this if it gets localized. Atlus products getting a bit expensive though. Damn Atlus tax.

$4.99 DLC.
Wow this really sucks. The art style was one of the biggest games that helped the game stand out originally. I know it's what drew a lot of western players in, including myself.
I can't even begin to describe how much I've hated these ugly anime designs in JRPGs lately. And I'm someone who loves me some anime.

And I thought it couldn't get any worse. Raynie's skin tone is originally tanned, almost as if she's got African blood in her. Now she's completely white and fair and cutesy like new Eruca art. Her skin color is changed, fuck.
A trick of the light. Surely.

Somehow I never picked this up back in the day. Will check out
The remake version looks like middle school student fan art.

I am bracing myself for new Viola.
Sweet Jesus, that's a travesty.
Aht's portrait is probably going to end up putting us in a list somewhere.
I really have to give it to Atlus. This was a simple slam dunk sort of thing. Take a niche but critically acclaimed catalog title. Put some effort into remastering it on a new platform and release it for the fans who loved it originally to make some profit and garner more goodwill. I don't even think people expected much.
But...

Shiiiiiiiiit. Wtf? This completely deviates from what the original art portrayed her as. Why Athus?
Man, the new designs/style are... not great. The style on the first game really stood out, and this is definitely more in line with generic JRPG styling now.
Coupled with the lack of other changes, I've definitely cooled on this one. Will wait for confirmation that the new sub-scenario is worth it.

I saw the artwork for the boxart and it really doesn't even compare to the original.
Echoing the sentiments here , this is quite disapointing.
i'd still buy it , RH was that good. Hopefully this sub-history will deliver because otherwise , what a waste.

If it gets released in Europe (damn region lock), I'll have to buy it regardless of the messed up artwork. Radiant Historia was just too good to pass on another chance to support the game. I very much doubt that there's even a slight chance of a sequel considering the lack of effort they seem to be putting in this, but damn it, I can't help it.
Kinda don't understand why they bother with it to begin with tbh. The original released late in DS's life and didn't sell very well at all and now they release a barely enhanced port late in 3DS's life. Sounds pretty much like a waste of resources.

The art style change will lead to better sales + will ensure people line up for the sequels.
Just look at Fire Emblem's "revitalization"
