Even more because this change can just make a small deviation and return to the same plot with just a small change of path which isn't changing the major plot.

It could be that, it could be something totally different, and bad at that. That's right where concern, more than criticism, comes from. A lot of people don't have confidence in Square Enix and their writers. 

But obviously I hope whatever they make turns out to be nice. Right now this first part that we have, for the most part, meets that profile. 

Sure, it is valid to have concern and criticism towards the changes. Also it is fine to not like the game or the changes themselves.

But to claim the company deceived everybody, or that they made major changes to the plot when there is still much to be told is another one. I'll reserve judgement for the project as a whole for when it ends.

Or to claim it isn't a remake because they changed some points of the plot is ridiculous. Reboot is something much deeper in changes, very little is really kept, and trying to shoehorn this to FFVIIR doesn't make any sense. Just look at the reboots we have seem in game and movies and they have almost nothing storyline in common with the previous story.
