Note that, even though this is obviously sign that things are obviously really deep in production, this doesn't mean that the game is releasing anytime soon: afaik, every game has a different schedule in regards to voice recording and I wouldn't be surprised if, given that they've had a script for a while now, they want to get it represented as soon as possible while working on the gameplay itself.
Especially because Part 1 has to create the bulk of gameplay systems and visuals for the remaining episodes, and also because they need to, before comitting to it, have a solid enough roadwork for the next episodes, so that the experience feels tight, well-thought and balanced.
I like the part of Cloud being different compared to his AC persona (fuck AC and fuck mopey Cloud -as it's not only found in AC, but also in KH or Dissidia-). Worried about the wing thing, though: hopefully they tone down that disgrace known as Genesis and Angeal (Tetsuboy, if you wanna include them in some form, here's an idea: make them optional!).
