Yes

Yes
Sit down this is long. They DID remove those elements, they did bully the original writer, they admitted all those things on stream. And they put those things back
Thing is: 10 fucking writers. 5 rewrites. Game was rewritten 2 months before launch.
All of the above was explicitly confirmed per interview 3 days ago.
They hired a writer from Starseed to work in the game Chapter 6 onwards. He wrote the Epilogue that unlocks only at level 50, he wrote the Trauma Codes. He is responsible for the Time Loop plotline to be back in game.
So everything you heard was right. The idiot Producer that favored the E7 nepotism writers fucked up, knew he fucked up, but putting things back later doesn't fix the first 5 piece of shit chapters. The first 5 are his retarded vision that backfired on him, 6 onwards are him conceding.
Now we are in this mess and they have to rewrite the first 5 chapters to put Time Travel back in the menu and make sense of it.
Now plot twist from yesterday: he got doxed so hard for bullying the original writer for all of that, so fucking hard, that this guy's original scrapped story is ALSO being implemented back in the game while they rewrite this whole mess.
We will get something closer to the original visions to be explored in the Chaos, and Chapters 1~5 will be rewritten to the New Neo vision of the Starseed guy meant to substitute the guy they fired.
Bonus: fired weeb got hired into Blue Archive.
