So you wanted to just have a new coat of paint? That is an alternative, but nothing near the scope of what they are trying here. Also as far as I know Bluepoint haven`t ever created anything good, they are good at putting newer textures.

What I want is what was promised to me, to everyone.  An actual remake.  One that respects the OG game, while expanding upon it.  Not a complete rape of FF7's story, with remake slapped on the case so more people buy it.  This was complete false advertising.  To even defend this move is ridiculous.

You seem really flustered. Well you can keep playing the original on steam with mods if the REMAKE doesn`t make you happy.

I really like KH and FF7 didn`t hook me up originally, so perhaps I`ll be one of the people that will like this part =p

Then you are getting a remake, seems that what you wanted was a remaster.

This is NOT a remake.  This is a sequel (a lazy one) being advertised as a remake so more buy it.  A remake is what SE promised people.  A remake is what SE has been advertising this whole time.  New game mechanics.  New graphics and camera.  The story is to remain mainly the same, with a few additions to flesh it out. Again, this is what SE has been advertising it as for YEARS, now.  They lied to sell some crappy story about

Spoiler!
time travel and/or alternate dimensions.

How could it be a sequel? Have Tifa and Sephiroth been ressucitated?

Were you out of all the FF7R threads? It was plenty discussed that the game would be several parts and would get new stuff.

I feel like KH is a fucking terrible story apart from the very first game, so I'm scared.



Signature goes here!

To be fair... this is not just new stuff. This is very close to a reboot. It reminds me to Terminator Genisys. And... that is a very scary perspective if you are a fan of the original franchise.

Well I can agree KH storyline is problematic, even more because he decided to keep adding and no real timeline plus multiple gens and platforms.

Scary indeed. They pretty much made the original plot which most of us from 1997 held sacred...irrelevant by substituting it with something much worse, play KH2 and you will know what I mean.

It's not what you want from a remake but it remains a remake.

What i saw and heard from the reviews is what i expected from the information we got over the years by square enix.
