Frankly I hated what they did with the series when Advent Children came out and turned these wonderful characters into anime sterotypes and not good ones. It took the amazing character development from the original game and turned them into two dimensional characters. ... The element that has really saved this remake series for me is Sephiroth. Every story in nearly every film, game or book is that the good guys win and the bad guy looses. Final Fantasy has done something insane with Sephiroth in that they have given us a villian who knows he has already lost, but who is able to transend the natural order of thing to rewrite fate. |
There was a lot in Advent Children that change things. Ending of FF7 made it ambigious what happened, but it was generally accept (as it was told that way) that Holy killed the humans as it saw them as a threat as well meteor to it's survival. Yet, it changed the characters and ideas completely, including Sephiroth.
I think there was one wise person here that said one that this isn't going to be a 'Remake' of FF7, it's what FF7 would be if they took into account the 'FF7 Compilation'. All the extended lore, stories games. Shoved into 1 (3 part) game. Like the guard I mentioned earlier, you know he's named and in a story/manga published over a decade ago? A few other things like that exist in FF7R, stuff that 90% of the original audience doesn't even know exists.
That time stuff to me was utter jibberish. The best review I've seen of FF7R was by Dunkey, his thoughts on it were the exact same as mine, including the reason for all this at the end. :P

False advertisement. Prehaps we can sue?
Hmm, pie.
