For Sakura gaining much more attention as the heroine, yes. People and new viewers who wanted to start playing the game who didn't even read/watch the series will catch it. Yeah, haters gonna hate applies to her but that will increase it even more with this scene. All I said is this, one or 2 extra lines of her, with an angry expression saying something like this: "I'm lying to myself?! I'm capable of knowing what my feelings are!" Then Naruto would said to her, "That's just an excuse..." This extra tibbit can at least balanced the scene out, giving Sakura a bit of a backbone here and make her sincerity much more believable (also staying similar towards Ultimate Ninja Impact's version).
This one right here was rushed, though due to the fact that it is a game and there's no way to go into detail, but it sounded that Sakura was near borderlined lying in her confession (this is coming from after the "lying to themselves" quote, she gave the staggered "I...!" sounded like she wasn't THAT truthful to her words and then accepted "defeat" by saying "Enough!"), despite her sincerity and facial expressions was spotted on.
She were a nice heroine on the begining and still she had many haters it does not change and on the scene the one who got bad viewed was Naruto.
Naruto was selfish and Sakura did a fake confession but the downside was for Naruto, not because he didnt accepted but because he failed to see that how heavy was the whole situation he always cheer up sakura just to a couple of chapters later it's crushed by reality like Akatsuki/orochimaru's death/sasuke pursue.
Her confession was not something to say that she loves naruto but to show that Sasuke was only making Sakura suffer.
both Naruto and Sakura are pure and innocent.
It's just a matter of haters gonna hate i dont want to Sakura get protagonism but i think she will support Naruto in battle against Sasuke and nothing else.
