Good thing Remake wasn't a bad game. It just had a weird ending.

I already know I'm not gonna like it. Square hasn't written a good game since 9. It's just going to be more nonsense that undercuts its own themes, long corridors with the worst dialogue you've ever heard, and then fight God at the end again even though there's still 1/3 of the game left

Why can't y'all just accept this as its own thing?
Because it isn't it's own thing. It's entire premise is reliant on 1) knowing the original, and 2) "fixing" the original.

The story isn't its own thing, it's a long winded excuse to write away all the consequences and major story beats of the original, in order to give a "happier" ending. And that kind of storytelling is intrinsically lame.

Why can't people just enjoy things?

The only thing I found bad about Remake was the last 15 minutes or so (okay, the "ghosts" were a little sus, but I felt they were sufficiently explained lore-wise). Everything else was good-to-stellar. Hell, I feel most of Remake was better than the original, even.

Now I feel people are complaing too much about a game just because it isn't like they remember in their childhood memories. Why can't y'all just accept this as its own thing?

Blame it on SE for calling the game Final Fantasy 7 Remake when it's not.

If they called it Final Fantasy 7 Remix, no one would be complaining.

You realize that the word Remake has other meanings right?

I'll be honest, I always found it weird pre-release that they were just straight up calling it Remake when it was only covering the Midgar section. Nothing in the title that would show it's part 1 of a series. They were being coy in some details too, like teasing Sephiroth with a black feather, something he wasn't associated with until Advent Children, IIRC.

And you realize that people had been asking for a traditional remake for years, the game was sold and marketed as a traditional remake, and it wasn't until getting a considerable way through that it became clear that that isn't what it was.

SE knew exactly what they were doing. And to pretend otherwise is silly.

Not to mention the demo they gave out was the first reactor mission up to the scorpion boss. Pretty much the only faithful part because at the end they changed it to shinra themselves destroying the reactor which is quite significant.

Spoilers since I doubt they teach you in mod school about a lot of things but there really is no such thing as traditional remakes.

Plus development on games can fundamentally change over the years and we knew well in advanced that it wasnt going to be a 1:1 remake. And it doesnt even change my point, hell the fact remakes dont have to follow 1:1 standards should be pretty well known in media in general.

That's ironic coming from somebody who just literally ignored the dictionary because you didn't like the definition.

You aren't wrong.

This whole remake project is just one long, winding, long winded excuse for Nomura to Nomura it up all over the plot just so he can retcon (og ff7 spoilers) Aerith's death. Make no mistake, that is the sole purpose of this new story.

One of the singularly most iconic and recognized powerful story beats in early gaming, thrown out the window because Nomura can't fucking help himself and cannot let a death stick.. It's literally EXACTLY kingdom hearts all over again. Square needs to hire someone to just stand next to the man with a rolled up newspaper, and smack him with it every time he decides to write something.
Why are you blaming Nomura?

Nomura didnt write the story he just directed the game. Hell he didnt want to be the director Square surprised him with the position. Also Nomura isnt even directing Rebirth.

In OG FF7 Nomura was responsible for Aeriths death.

More specifically, he's the one that pushed against the idea that half of the characters would just straight up get killed off in the Midgar revisit.

They were upfront that the plot of the game would incorporate all of the auxiliary material published since the original game including stuff like CC and DoC. Putting black feathers in FF7 Remake isn't really different than putting Hayden Christiansen in Return of the Jedi.

Because its easier to blame the more popular name. Kinda like they give shit Miyamoto for the Mario Mandate when Sticker Star and Color Splash werent well received

Miyamoto deserves shit for sticker star. I get that the dev team didn't have to listen to him and that they voluntarily chose to do it out of professional respect but at the end of the day the dumb ass idea originated with him.

Except he doesnt because again the developers could have not listened to him or you know still listened to characters and still worked around that. You can make great games with limited characters.
