I understand that you feel betrayed or feel tricked, but you got to remember back in 2015, when they said the Remake will be a multipart series, and that the first game will be set in Midgar. Everyone was under the false impression that it'll be a 5hr game, but later in that same year SE confirmed that each part will be comparable to a full Final Fantasy game. Midgar alone being the first part of a 30-40hr game is one big confirmation that the story is expanded upon, and in other words, changed. When you put 1 and 1 together you get 2. It shouldn't come as a surprise. What surprised me was how cool the changes are, it's unfortunate some don't feel the same.

As we have already told you multiple times, one thing is introducing changes and additions that expand upon the original story to flesh out characters, expand the lore and add more context to what happened. That's how remakes work and I think all of us expected such things to happen because... well, it's a remake, we have all seen the trailers, the developers told that they wanted to do that... etc.

But literally taking the original story and restart it by changing absolutely everything and turn it into another different plot... that's definetely not something people could have expected, because there was no indication that something like that would happen. It goes against what makes a remake and it goes against what Square Enix sold to people: reviving the story of FF VII better than ever.

You seem to be morbidly possessed by this game.

Are you interested in something different ?
