I agree with every individual thing you've said here, but I think you've come to the wrong conclusion. Scipio's beliefs about Adastra's poor are already being challenged, and given Adastra's perspective on all of this, which you mention is better, I think you're coming to a conclusion about where these aspects of the plot are headed far too early, and underestimating the quality of writing we're going to see.

Certainly we shouldn't judge a work til it is complete. But frankly if it does follow Adastra it won't be much of an improvement- that game didn't have a "good" perspective on how its political plots affected ordinary people, it just didn't talk about it as much

While I'd love to go more in-depth on why I disagree, that would definitely go into spoiler territory, and given that this is something of a space for reviews, that seems like it wouldn't be very thoughtful, so instead, I'll simply say that I think you're interpreting the text very unfavorably, and that Adastra agrees with you on many of these political points, and Khemia is liable to do the same. I would recommend replaying Adastra and paying closer attention to the portrayal of the parents, as well as of the Triumvirs and Cato, who the game considers symbols of the Adastran political system far more than Amicus, who is, if anything, working to fix a lot of the issues you present of it's feudalist notions. Additionally, I'd point out that of course a political drama is liable to focus on those who have political power. In short, I think you're looking for reasons to be mad, and overlooking a lot of the nuance that the franchise is clearly going for.
