For instance, it's entirely possible that they'll follow Star Wars Saga
Edition and drop feet as a distance measurement entirely when it comes
to game-mechanics, and instead refer to all distances, areas etc. in
numbers of squares. Thus, you may not see the 5-foot step replaced with
the 1.5-metre step, but you may see it replaced with the 1-square step.

Or, hearkening back to the HERO-ization of D&D, they may use (scale)
inches, maybe even "hexes". So your Burning Hands spell may be a 3-hex-
length cone, you'll take 1-hex steps, etc.
