This might just be fandom heresay, but there was a rumor back in the day that the original ending of Dragon Quest VII was changed for being "too depressing." Not to get into spoilers, but it did involve Keifer, and would go a little way to explain his abrupt exit from the story. Nothing ever confirmed, but this new story content, combined with previous comments about audiences now being ready for a darker story makes me wonder if those old rumors were accurate.
