Quite interested to see how they've modified the story to accommodate the hub mechanic, particularly after the plate collapse. Maybe wall market takes over as the hub?
Technically speaking, the text doesn't imply it will be any different than what we had seen in the OG! 7th Heaven functioned as breather between the first and second bombing run, so the phrase "
becomes a safe haven for the heroes between missions" could still be align with that.
Don't take me wrong, my first impression was the same as yours, but my brain tells me otherwise and to be careful with my expectations. More missions means more things to do in the city, and this would result in more exploration, something I always dreamed of to experience since my first playthrough. Midgar in particular is the only location where we KNOW of other places that exist in the city (sectors), without to had the opportunity to explore it further. The Remake could give us the chance to 'complete' this experience.
It feels like the "two discs of content" statement, is a Sword of Damocles hanging over my head! We still don't know it's exact meaning and how it will effect the game's scale. At this point, I'm prepared for both possible outcomes that Midgar will be full explorable or not, but what really irks me, is the state we are in right now... the waiting...
tHe WhAiTinG!!! I'm feeling like Schrödinger's Cat... I want confirmation so badly, that...
