I'd rather hear that more girls are on the way than to hear nothing. If that's all they have to say then let's hear it. Of course I'm also 'meh' because most of the time when they say 'cute' they mean no H-content. STOP DRAWING LOLIS IF YOU'RE AGAINST LOLI H-CONTENT!

As for the rest, it depends on just how 'major' the major new feature is. Perhaps the Christmas event break will allow them to get the next event (Valentine's?) out on time without the new feature interfering. Or without delaying the new feature to ensure the next event is on time. We'll just have to see. Not sure most players are at the 'nothing new, I'm bored' phase because most of us don't have all the girls yet and very few, if any, of us have them all maxed yet.
