I could see that's happening if Forces was well-received.
But since it's mostly not, I kinda understand why they went to a new direction.
It's how I imagine a Roblox game if I ever made it, where many players can make Avatars to take part in the war effort.
Something that we are not supposed to see is more interesting than things that are always shown~
I guess so, it's the temptation and intrigue over it.
That and you don't really see women in bathing suits out and about towns that are more in-land. Heck I liv in a coastal town and I doubt it will be allowed around Summer time.
