This is exactly what it is. The game is turning into a hand-holdy JRPG because it's being packed to the brim with filler cinematic fluff moments for everything.

Random person on the side of the road with one line of dialog? Cutscene.
I have been wondering if they can keep this up when we get to the city. Either the city is going to be sparsely populated and underwhelming, or they’re going to have put a RIDICULOUS amount of work into it.
