[Not a Bug] Minor sequence skip post Sapphire Ridge Dojo (Spoilers)

[SirSquirrelMcFur]

Hi,

Post completion of the Old Dojo in Sapphire Ridge, the party tells me that they will meet me in CrossCentral. However before going there I visited the Ascension Temple entrance, on the way there triggering the sequence where Lea remembers the area which I ignored.

Deciding that I first want to explore everything available before continuing with the story, I did the Henry Quest before going to Cross Central

Expected Behavior:
Party greeting me at the Teleport Hub + some dialog, as shown here at timestamp 7:17: https://youtu.be/VNBZKeK2D2M?t=437

Actual Behavior:
I went into Rhombus Sqare alone and could just add party members and walk around rhombus square.

I believe this is a Bug and they did not just randomly decide not to wait for me, did they?

Thanks!

This isn't a bug. If you go use the meteor shade, everyone assumes you've decided to go do something else and they go ahead without you. Most of them haven't ever seen the city and are excited to go. Why would you expect everyone to indefinitely stand around in the CrossCenral lobby while you go sidequest?

Well, I would as this is after all a single player game and if I stand in the Dojo for 10hrs and move then, they would still be there, right? So it is odd if they don't wait that time.

Yes this is in fact intended.

Thanks. Updated the thread accordingly.

On a remark: Rhombus Square already feels empty (nearly no talking NPCs, not much to discover) but you mentioned that anyhow in your 1.0.0 release note that this is work in progress. The way I reached Rhombus Square now "silently", makes this even worth. I really miss Emily pointing something out in and C'tron explaining why it is only logical that way.
