Have you guys thought about turning chapter 1 into a prologue and lower chapter counts accordingly? It always felt out of place how short it was compared to the rest
Funny enough the game used to start in Chapter 2 but we didn't like how you were immediately thrown in to the Ruined Era in a dark cave so we made the start of the game the Divine Era. Internally we call it the prologue or "Chapter Z" since internally we call them Chapter A, B, C, etc. "Chapter A" is Chapter 2.
