What I want is what was promised to me, to everyone.  An actual remake.  One that respects the OG game, while expanding upon it.  Not a complete rape of FF7's story, with remake slapped on the case so more people buy it.  This was complete false advertising.  To even defend this move is ridiculous.

Then you are getting a remake, seems that what you wanted was a remaster.

This is NOT a remake.  This is a sequel (a lazy one) being advertised as a remake so more buy it.  A remake is what SE promised people.  A remake is what SE has been advertising this whole time.  New game mechanics.  New graphics and camera.  The story is to remain mainly the same, with a few additions to flesh it out. Again, this is what SE has been advertising it as for YEARS, now.  They lied to sell some crappy story about

Spoiler!

time travel and/or alternate dimensions.
