We shouldn't miss out on a compelling story because of a fear that an 'emotional connection' might be broken. The development team have already killed off characters that people find popular and antagonists have repeatedly topped the charts in character popularity polls. We don't need a ridiculously bloated cast with no room for new characters to show up and involve themselves in the story.

Imagine if we were to get an expansion exploring Inner Hingashi but there's barely any room for actual Hingan characters to play a part in the story as anything other than minor entities? That was essentially the problem with the First. Imagine how many completely new characters we could have interacted with if the Scions did not accompany us?
