A complaint that was happening anyways. Besides, Ultra's route gave our characters FAR better closure in comparison to SM, which didn't even finish things off before ending it.
It also expanded on most of the characters that SM neglected and expanded on certain characters that needed to be fleshed out as characters. (Hau, Lusamine imo and Guzma.)
