Yes, it is really that complicated, you can try it for yourself, read book / watch video about skinning 3D character, matching recorded animation / motion capture to different models, i bet you will scratching your head for hours to try to do all of that to NLP characters that have soo many realtime 3d animation
of course you can replace one model to the existing model; IF:
- they have the same polygon count, the same exact plaxement of vertex (to avoid heavy re-skinning)
==> it`s impossible because the base polygon structure wil be roughly the same, and you see, the 3d model from the promo have different look, facial structure, the eyes height slightly different, the nose slighly different, the hair especialy have many differences..
If you force these different model to the current animation data on the NLP without re-adjusting anything, it will making disastrous results, hair animation will be messed up, because the animation data moving the difference vertex, eyes movement, mouth movement will all be messed up too..
Here`s the example what will gone wrong if you just force different object to the animation data without re-adjusting anything (i.e vertex gone WILD):

But you`re right, pseudo-3D on LP/LPP is an easy way out to overcome 3D limitation on the old DS, but with the advancement of technology, it`s not really a good way to stay on the old way, because you have more power and meaning to get more advanced result on realism and believability with 3D, of course if you are not LAZY person thankfully the NLP team embraces the 3D with seriousness as you can see with their tech presentation on NLP, and not resolving on "cheating", lazy way of combining 2D animation with 3D animation.. too bad the result is far from satisfaction..
For now we don`t know what the team thinking with these abysmal result on sales and customer satisfaction.. IF they on the end feeling that this love plus project is a dead end and wanted to bury it as a bad memory, maybe then we can start to open the donation to buy the rights of the love plus series and began to build it to our like
And those motion actor, they`re woman all right, but my illusion of rinko being motion actored by actually a cute girls is shattered!!! OH GOD WHYYYYY?!!~~~~~
