I'll take a quick shot as this!

* Our original plans had us fighting Boticca as a villain :)

* There were plans to make a poke'mon snap like collection where you find specific rare animals and scan them for data collections

* We originally had Olmakhan riding Jackals but looking into the lore some more we realized this wouldn't make sense and so they now ride skimmers

* Early designs of the map had a giant Volcano to the north and the Cube to the south. @_@

* Originally the Inquest were going to have all these crazy biomes in the central island like snow/forest/lava/rock where they would do crazy experiments on animals and dino like creatures

* We had this idea for a cool sparring like event where you trained with a Olmakhan in combat but this was later cut and moved to a narrative only scene

* Gorrik and Blish are amazing! But originally we had Taimi in their position :)

* We joked at first but for a hot second we really wanted the player and Braham to have a hug it out scene

Hi Crash!

Thanks for the comment. We made a note of the length that players were exposed to in our episode and we tend to agree that it may have been a bit too long. We strive to have that balance of initial story and then expose to the new zone and with it, we can't always please everyone. In some cases, like with Ep 2, we had a handful of designs and narrative beats we wanted to tell before the players got to the new zone. Hence the three connected instances.
