Even more because this change can just make a small deviation and return to the same plot with just a small change of path which isn't changing the major plot.

It could be that, it could be something totally different, and bad at that. That's right where concern, more than criticism, comes from. A lot of people don't have confidence in Square Enix and their writers. 

But obviously I hope whatever they make turns out to be nice. Right now this first part that we have, for the most part, meets that profile. 

If it was just concern I was seeing, I wouldn't be so vocal in countering it. I see a lot of hatred, anger, and disappointment in this thread and elsewhere. I agree this is cause for concern, but any mature or reasonable person would wait to see where it goes before deciding they hate it. 

But that's not the internetting way, is it? It's not the way people react when they have outrage to share. 

It could be terrible. I thought XIII And XV had terrible stories that both ended atrociously. Square-Enix is not doing a great job with the flustercluck that is Kingdom Hearts, so I am a little concern they're going to botch this up. However, right now it could go in any of hundreds of different directions and we have no way of knowing if this is going to be a brilliant meta-narrative or some derivative crap. We don't know if it's still gonna stick to the original timeline for like 90% of the game or if it's going to go in a wholly new direction. 

We just don't know, and for the first time in years, that excites me.
