While his redesign is positively received, many people [[RonTheDeathEater still blame him]] for [[WhamEpisode October 4th]], plus, he still has [[Creator/MonaMarshall his less than popular English dub voice]]. At the same time though, being in the game gives him a chance to develop more as a character (one of the complaints about him in the original game).
** [[EnsembleDarkhorse Adachi]] is back and even has his own campaign… as [[InternetBackdraft DLC]] included with all new purchases of ''Ultimax''.

*** The fact that she's paid DLC has calmed down the detractors, as they can just avoid buying her. But that then opens another can of worms over Marie fans that are forced to buy her, as well as people who despise paid DLC to begin with.
