And what about these lies from just two weeks ago?

"In terms of how faithful the remake is to the original Final Fantasy VII, from the perspective of the storyline, it is very faithful indeed," Toriyama said. "The major story structure is kept very close, so you will do the Mako Reactor bombing mission and then return to the Sector 7 slums."

Longtime series writer Kazushige Nojima echoed Toriyama's sentiment, adding: "Well, the main story is still the same, but I have added in many new scenes that happen between the main events of the original, which show how the relationship between Cloud and the other characters deepened. [For example], Cloud's childhood friend Tifa shows him a flat in Midgar, and they come to live in the same building. It is a Japanese-styled flat and the scene itself is quite sweet. So, I want people to look forward to [those additions]."

Producer and director of the original game, Yoshinori Kitase, also chimed in: "Of course, all the memorable elements and key moments from the original have been faithfully reproduced, and you can enjoy experiencing those again."

Again, these are absolute lies. Very faithful, my ass. I will not support false advertising or using the guise of a remake so Nomura can make more KH's bullshit. If you want to come up with excuses for  why blatantly lying to consumers is ok, you go right ahead, but don't act like they weren't BSing us from the start.

Ahhh well. You haven’t experienced it sooo... In the mean time, keep the outcry culture strong! 🤘👍👍


“Because Cloud... You... are a puppet.”

Ooo, the angst. I can see why you like turning FF7 into KH.

wtf? It's like you expect an exact 1:1 representation of the original with technology of today. They specifically said they've added many new scenes. The Bombing Mission was pretty damn faithful to me. The park scene was faithful. As well as many other things but with modern tech.

Reading comprehensive fail there. No one is upset about added scenes amongst a "very faithful" remake of the original storyline. What pisses people off is SE saying that's what the game is, yet deliver a completely different thing than promised. Sure, this thing is probably that for around 75% of the game. The problem is that the other 25% not only shits on the OG story, but makes them trying to be faithful for that 75% useless. It's no longer FF7. It's FF7: Genisys. The story going from this point onward is whatever they want it to be. A new sequel to FF7: Genisys, not the next chapter in a "very faithful" remake.
