After Yakushima, we start getting events at the dorm where we can spend time with party members. After 3 events doing a certain activity, the party members will gain new passive abilities. You'll also gain items or social stat increases for hanging out with them. Generally worth doing and all fully voiced, which is cool.

By this point, I've gotten more used to the new voices. It's made a bit better by having majority of the previous VAs show up in minor roles, like Shinjiro's previous VA being Mitsuru's dad in this and the MC's previous VA being Yukari's dad. Them being in older cast member roles kind of gives it a feeling of "passing the torch" to a younger generation of VAs. It does a lot to remove the bad taste that usually comes with a voice change, often being a case of a studio trying to save money by casting cheaper VAs or they just straight up didn't care and didn't contact the originals at all. This was a deliberate choice that feels like it has the approval of the original cast behind it, which is cool.
