Exactly. We don't even know if she's dead and it could be Clouds Mako build up or Jenova fucking with his mind or if she really is crossing between worlds in some more clear way than cloud and Zack. I felt nothing cause they "killed" her like three times, I kept thinking it must just be another subversion of expectations, no closure at all and there better be a pay off for it cause it'd suck if they ruined her death for nothing. 

Its likely a red herring type of deal which we wont know until the next game.

Speaking of which, I want the third game to be called Reunion but it might not be considering Crisis Core's remakester is called Reunion.

It's Kingdom Hearts nonsense. Tho Rebirth was more benign to me than Remake except the ending. Ending of Rebirth is lame to me

There's a few people in here saying they love them as sequels, and that's all well and good... but I really hope you also admit that Square-Enix naming it FF7 remake was a catastrophic mistake and straight up false marketing. If they wanted to make time-traveling quantum physics sequels they should've been honest about that from the start and there'd likely be much less controversy than there is.

I can't find the FAQ they put out which is a shame cause it shows they were scrambling for answers but Zack teleporting to a parallel world line via a choice he made shows they don't have those answers outlined, clearly.

I never thought of it from the point of view, I suppose it is and that should have been clear. Still, I don't think it would matter if they done it well, they just couldn't pull it off. We can only hope they align the trilogy with the original or release a directors cut where the trilogy is one title and it closely follows the original FF7. 

People will never leave Nomura alone. What's so wrong with this guy ? You can hate on him all you want but that doesn't change the fact that HE was the one that pushed for a story as close as possible from the original. That wasn't his decision.

Idk even know who he is, The writing teams job was to make whatever idea he had if he's lead and they done a poor job. The idea itself is not the problem, it's a cool idea, they just couldn't land it and have made a great big stinking mess. 

You might not have, but I can promise you a lot of us did. We were promised a remake and got anything but. That's a large reason why sales have fallen off for the second game... people do not appreciate being misled.

It was a marketing ploy. People have been wanting a remake and in a way it is a "Re"-make of the game.

I have a feeling that might have affected Rebirth's sales.

Its likely they didnt want to reveal it before release about the actual story and plot.

So its a double edged sword.
