True but I think this is mainly because of the game's development troubles... I do sort of think that somewhere in the original plan once the concept of the 4 buddies was thought up, they intended for them to be switchable in combat. They couldn't implement it in time and so came up with the episodes structure, and now have decided to bite the bullet and port over the other guys combat mechanics to the main game, creating the combat system they envisioned in the first place.
I also think they originally fully intended for the big post-chapter-9 world area to be a fleshed out open world just like the first area, and again it was just a stretch too far.
