I think it's funny that some of the previewers that are blowing this one NPC out of proportion are the same ones that called people out for saying that the bike didn't feel like it belonged in a Metroid game xD

yeah the more I look into it, some outlets are merely making something much bigger than it is. Sounds like many outlets are citing that these NPC characters are only present for a small section in the game’s opening lol.

But(!) I will remain cautiously optimistic. Everything I’ve heard sounds veeeery reassuring so far.

Yeah I wouldn't stress too much, the overview trailer clearly says that you will "occasionally" fight alongside Federation troopers, the press demo just seemed to revolve around one such section, but even that was only like 10 minutes long, in what will likely be a 15+ hour game.
