-Initially, the in-game social media platform Pitter was enjoyable to read, but recent changes have made it less enjoyable due to unnecessary censorship.

-These alterations have significantly impacted its original charm.

-Moreover, the removal of advertisements from billboards, such as those for Hyperdimension Neptunia and Super Sonico, strips away a core element of the game's originality, which is disappointing.

-Additionally, several in-game commercials and music videos, including those from games like Trails of Cold Steel and Mind Zero, have been either removed or replaced, altering the atmosphere of the game.

-A particularly bothersome change is the addition of a white flash to the finishing move in fights, which can be blinding and disrupt the gameplay experience.

-The removal of the GUNDAM CAFE is the last nail in the coffin.

-Furthermore, the introduction of a story DLC, which focuses on a side character who previously did not have a route, and the claim that this DLC represents the true ending of the game feel out of place given the existing content.

-For those disappointed by these changes, downgrading the game to enjoy its original form from the library may be the best option.

-Despite these issues, "AKIBA'S TRIP: Hellbound & Debriefed" remains untouched and is recommended for those seeking a true-to-original experience.
