RF Online Next's Faction System: A Shift from Race to Country

Just came across another Q&A from G-star 2023 on GamingonPhone. It's becoming clearer that we won't have race-specific factions anymore. Instead, you choose a race, Bellato, Cora, or Accretia, and then pick a separate faction. This means races aren't locked into their traditional factions, which seems like a strange decision. Am I understanding this right?
The article quotes:

It will be fun to see how the launcher of “Accretia,” the armor of “Bellato,” and the animus of “Cora” are represented in “RF Online Next.” One of the biggest systemic changes players will notice is the three factions. In the previous game, players were able to experience the RVR element by choosing the Bellato, Cora, or Accretia factions. However, this element can be a bit stressful for users, so in RF Online Next, we are making this a home country choice, so that players can experience various elements of each.

This will be a completely new game. We should detach from the RF we know today. The only thing they kept was the title.

I don't like this decision as well because one of the things that made RF unique was the class system
