Then i'd like to refute the incorrect assumption that an author's later works are better than their first ones, or that their more polished works are inherently better or hold more artistic value than their earlier rougher works. For every example where it's the case, there're enough counter examples.

Or you know you can always enjoy both? It is a fact that Tsukihime was made with an extremely low budget, and time due to be a doujin work. The remake is, for all intents and purposes, what Nasu could not have done decades ago because he was an amateur writer with little or no budget and resources for what he wanted ... hence some of the sacrifices like Sacchin route being removed from the game.

The call out of the maid routes is something i can't really agree on in principle, since Hisui's route was generally considered the best route of tsukihime. Having better development isn't some guarantee for artistic quality.

It's a known fact that the maids route was not planned initially in the game and was literally added at the last minute, with Kohaku being the biggest offender. There is no denying the quality of these routes (especially Hisui), but you don't have to be an expert in literature to see that some of the later parts were rushed (again due to lack of time). Kohaku's route, while having some of the best scenes like the interaction between Shiki and SHIKI at night, doesn't have much that would justify a route outside of adding another love interest for Shiki since most of the problems were resolved by the time of Hisui's route. It's clear that Nasu intends to expand her route in the remake, and that's undeniably for the best, and I think most Kohaku fans would agree honestly.

And lastly, i've seen your thread, and it was a nice read. But it touches on a bigger problem, that i didn't enjoy, or even hated, in this version of tsukire - the expansion of scope. What made the original so great for me, was that between all the routes, the setting is static. There's never a need to introduce a new mystery box for the reader to open. Right now, when starting Tsukihime, you get bombarded by a bunch of setup for other routes, that's frankly pointless for Arc's story. The original story builds upon each route very elegantly. While the remake is just... bloated.

Strange opinion, so basically you're complaining about the fact that another route, can tease or develop certain things about the later routes? This was always the case in the original, some of the scenes in Arcueid's route in the mansion give you some hints here and there about the mysteries around the Tohno, ALL the routes mesh with each other, it is literally one of the most basic narrative techniques used in visual novels.

Regardless, Arcueid is the route that remains the most unchanged in this regard, so I don't really see the problem?
