I wish I was able to see Date Ariane with your eyes again. It was a stand-out game when it first appeared and is still a great find for anyone who hasn't seen it before. Sadly however, it is quite old now and most of the changes have been cosmetic. To my mind, for the most part the changes have been totally unecessary and not added very much to the gameplay.
SITA took what felt like an eternity to arrive and, perhaps because of that, I have to say I found it extremely disappointing. I'm still hopeful of seeing more totally new content but all we get are apparently endless "touch ups" to Ariane. Having already taken the long journey to learn what worked and what didn't, I find it so annoying to have to start over again with a re-working of the original artwork as my only reward, that I don't bother playing it any more. I've tried a couple of time to use walkthroughs, just to see what's new, but there are so many different versions of the game now it's almost become a whole new game to find the walkthrough for the version of Ariane you're playing lol
I do envy your ability to look at Ariane B with fresh eyes. Good luck
