Have you not read the spoilers or watched the ending?

Because... 

Spoiler!
you literally fight the original chronology.  That's literally one of the boss fights.

Care to share? because 'they fight the original chronology' is not a sentence that makes any sense as far as I can decipher it, and what I CAN find of the ending cutscenes don't seem to be that severe of a change (at least not worth the rabid frothing I'm seeing in the thread)

 I don't see any rabid frothing... I see people giving legitimate reasons why what fans were led to expect is not what was provided, and I see people trying to discredit legitimate criticism by referring to it with terms like "rabid frothing".  But, sure, I'll explain what I mean.

Spoiler!

Throughout the game their are characters called the "whispers of fate" who interact with your party in the interest of keeping things consistent with the original storyline.  Towards the end of the game you actually fight these whispers of fate who are trying to keep things consistent with the original storyline.  At which point Aeris says "the future is always a blank page".

The whispers of fate are literally the original timeline (chronology if you will) trying to interact with this new one to prevent it from changing.  And you fight and kill it.  That's what I mean by fighting the original chronology.  And the fact that they went out of their way to have you literally fight a force that's trying to keep the story the same, coupled with a lot of lines about changing destiny, leads to the very reasonable inference that they are planning rather large changes to the original storyline.
