People expectation not being met even with SE saying over the past 2 years that this game was going to be instead of just having the same story.

Some consider this a tragedy while they can't fanthom that over the past 2 decades SE have rethought the story and think it would be better to tell it a different way.

So basically over protectively fans holding on their nostalgia and pretending SE haven't said what they were planning on doing. You know, reviewers sometimes review based on what they wanted the game to be instead of what it is.

shouldn't call it FF7 in that case but brand it as FF7.5 or FF7-V2

Yes, sure, that would solve everything. It is a remake doesn't matter how much some try to say it isn't because the story as a whole will have changes to what they consider core. Any claim of that will have to at least wait for the end of all the releases to see how much the changes impacted in the story itself instead of changes in the internal path of the story.
