I see why everyone is so bothered about the drastic change in gameplay, but, the drastic change in story that everyone seems to have missed, NEEDS the change of gameplay for it to make sense. Instead of being some, well prepared well-funded organisation, SFH is now just one man rebuilding the whole thing from the ground up, and i for one appreciate the change of pace in this sequal, it improves on the old gameplay by letting you decide what your team uses and what type of team members join you on which missions, even going as far as letting you switch between them in-game. While i do agree that the progression is quite slow once it reaches a certain point, and youre still recruiting level 1 heros, That IS the exact same as what happened in SFH 2 with the main protagonist, a newbie joined an elite force for which the newbie had to train to coninually get better.
