As a fan I wouldnt want it any other way. We were all blown away by what Sandfall created and accomplished. I cant imagine any fan wanting Sandfall to approach there creative process differently. A game who's story and world captivated millions, a soundtrack to rival any motion picture score. I for one found myself countless times playing back songs in game at the camp, at work and driving. I will never forget the first time hearing the Sirens song "Robe de Jour" 10 minutes I stood at the entrance literally caught in the sirens song. That said,  I for one appreciate Sandfall avoiding making a "fan service" title and stick to their process. Just imagine what lies in store ahead from Sandfall with this game under their belt.
