it's funny people are talking about secrets. Yoshi P of FFXIV and FFXVI has lamented the poor ROI on secret content. Eg Yuffie and Vincent will not be optional hidden party members in the VII remake. I understand the thought process because there is some serious work doing CGI and VA (x2+ for EN/JP+) and all but there really was some magic in discovering all the hidden stuff and games as recent as Elden Ring and BotW show that there is still a big appetite for exploration and discovery. Wonder what that would look like for modern Square games...
