i am..not really sure about this. one thing i loved about the game was the chance to explore and discover new and exciting things, new scenes and new character. the feel of really being stranded in this different world.
this feel like a part of this will be taken away
Though i still keep an open mind about it. maybe it really will be for the better.

I agree, the exploration side and falling on a specific event is kinda nice. The problem is that you can miss a lot of event, except if you grind every locations everyday, that might become quite boring ^^ At least, you'll still be free, from what I understood, to roam in the streets, but it'll be easier to have the events
There will still be things to find and discover, and even things you can miss. Just because it's going to be chapter based does not mean Azul won't be including content only found in that chapter, or part of the story you're on. So you can't just go with the flow and expect to see everything, got to still wander about, just a lot less grinding.
And he's still trying to keep that feeling of you just being thrust into something you don't have any clue about, it is part of the story of people not wanting to tell the player since what they're doing isn't public knowledge, so definitely want to keep that mystery going on.
And of course, the player going along with it since they don't really have much of a choice.
