I'm sorry, who asked them to change major plot points of the game and then, much more than likely now, go on their own story right after Midgar?  I sure as heck didn't see anyone begging for that in the 5 years since its announcement.  People were hyped to play the OG story again, but with added parts to flesh out the game and characters. 

People are just making excuses for it now so they aren't disappointed and have their hype deflated by the "very faithful" remake being, in truth, more like FF7:Genisys.  At least Genisys didn't pretend it was a remake of Terminator to sell more tickets.

People asked for the game for 2 decades and already got the remaster with better graphic.

And you still confuses remaster, remake and reboot just to be more upset.

When you change 5h to 30h several changes will occur. It really is more a difference of what is considered major plot or not. And sorry unless you see to the end or at least what comes next you really can't say that one char leaving or die changes a major plot point, because the next could be achieved very similarly.

Would Naruto change totally if Jiraya didn't die? Or HP if Sirius? It could, but it also could not. Both deaths were mostly to mature the char (a very abused trope), but that maturity and sense of loss could be achieved differently and wouldn't really change the core of the story. That basically changes a little the path taken.

Consider like seeing the story from a different POV. Because it could indeed be that a char didn't really die, that was the impression of the people who saw the scene and that char suffering trauma and being incouncious or with amnesia.

As I said numerous time, wait for the whole story to be told before being pissed that they "changed everything".
