size of the main story content, but the plan changed later
and the content was deleted to keep it better Quality is
possible during the full experience.
Nomura confirmed that this was necessary to finish the
game on time and avoid additional delays, all the
content of the game is still huge and there are many
areas to visit and even that you will be able to use
vehicles to navigate and side missions will include
missions in the usual manner and others in the form of
challenges that require certain conditions to end it.
