3. They appear randomly in first visit route rooms, not second visit rooms. The issue you said is that hunter ambushes give you trouble when it comes to reaching a place to save. There are no hunter encounters in second visit rooms for every major location in the Alimbic Cluster: Celestial Archives, Alinos, Arcterra and Vesper Defense Outpost. The only time there would be is if one's going through them again after the second Octolith escape, which isn't necessary.

4. Considering it is just weapons, I see no reason why NST should have gone beyond doors. I'll give you that it could have been more interesting to have other obstacles, but the current design is effective for the game.

5. Since when has one lore encompassed all answers? It's unfair to knock Hunters for something that hasn't been done, unless you too complain about the rest of the Prime Series' lore lacking in completion. The Alimbic Order is the main governing body of the Alimbics during the Alimbic War, and they came up with the Seal Spheres and Oubliette to end the conflict.

6. I never said the Alimbics put their dead into the Magma Drop. The lore states, "Alimbic warriors of valor are here laid to rest, that their spirits may return to the planetary core." Considering that the Magma Drop, particularly its background structures on the right side, is decorated with several notable glowing symbols, the Magma Drop could be the route the Alimbic spirits take to the core.

7. The lore History 10 states, "Through science and technology we increased our already formidable mental skills. Significant advances were made in the areas of Telepathy, Telekinesis, and Extradimensional Exploration." The final area of advancement being extradimensional exploration, the Alimbics developing a security system signal that crosses dimensions is likely and the Octolith security protocol is evidence of it. I don't think the how of its mechanics is important. It's something to wonder about, but is a very silly thing to criticise the game on.
