Is the game becoming too metaphysical for its own good?

My only real concern at this point is that quite a few interesting characters have been killed off for good and then never mentioned again after a certain point yet the story bends over backwards to keep the likes of Minfilia around even though they received very mixed reactions. It really sucks when a character is written out of the plot or killed off only to be brought back through contrived means - because intentionally or otherwise it's a kick in the teeth for those of us who know that our favourite characters are not going to receive the same treatment. A bit more consistency and commitment would be appreciated in that regard.

I think the problem with Min is that unless you played v1 you don't care about her or know that much about her, she is just some random npc that gets kidnapped a lot. They went much deeper with her in v1 and I think they forget ppl who didn't play that version don't really get why the character is important, esp to the other scions.
