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. |
It's actually insulting when you look at it like the whispers are the fans of the OG FF7 who actually believed the lies that this would be a very faithful remake, instead of being the reboot that it actually is. So, it's no wonder that...
so now they can make their own KH story in the FF7 universe. I just don't get that if they wanted to make their own KH story in this universe, why not just make their own story and call the game FF7-2? Oh right, because without falsely claiming that this was a faithful remake, it probably wouldn't have sold as well. I think it also explains why there is no Remake Pt 1 in the title. This was the remake part of their series. Next game will just get a different subtitle.
