The problem is they already advertised the sub-quests to be character in-depth moment, to know better who they are.
Its nice to learn Barret gave thought about Marlene future, or Red and Cloud have to accept they cannot let a cooked chicken wasted but, following that, it will be annoying if sub-quests ended up reiterate / retelling same things to get into 50+ sub-quests quota. At least it rewarding enough to learn Vincent is part of Yu-Gi-Oh sub-quest.
Pushing Chadley is kind of inevitable considering in OG you can start side-quests in Disc 2 but you can only completed it safely by Disc 3.
Imagine if they do exactly same, leave the side-quests hanging; new players frustrated because they didn't know Yuffie run away with their materia to Wutai that not accessible until next installment.
