Sakura Fantasy is the first game where the entire development team was clearly on the same page: make hilariously schlock-y porn.
And the results are… well, exactly what it says on the tin. Sakura Fantasy also deserves some secondary praise, for being the first Sakura game to acknowledge that non-white skin colours actually exist. I mean, if you are forced to continue on from a toxic, poorly-written, unconvincing narrative base like Sakura Beach 1, the best thing you can probably do is just write in a new perfect character who lampshades and solves all problems by virtue of existing. And then trust the players to make the right decision.
Maybe Sakura Beach 3 will go as far as to not actively revolt me? Sakura Beach 2 understood this lesson well.
