    It is possible for people to like stuff and it still be an empty, soulless cash grabs. We all have our guilty pleasures, and I’m not here to shit on anyone for liking it. I’m here to shit on greedy, corporate assholes who think they can just roll out a bullshit product and are entitled to our money.

    I’m glad you were able to re-establish the nostalgia and love you had for the original through the remake. For many though, it wasn’t there. The empty maps, the story that just kind of rounded up to a big nothing burger… I appreciate the attempt I suppose, but this wasn’t it, and I fear they will repeat the same minimal effort cash grab on this one as well.

      I feel like you have no idea what you’re even talking about… “Remake” is the title of that portion of the story, the game is basically a sequel to the original FF7. You clearly haven’t even actually played it

      Edit: I like how you’re down voting me for an objective and verifiable fact. Nothing I’ve said here is false. If you dislike the game, then fine. But dislike it for the right reason. And it’s not reason that I replied to.

        What? Is this true? FF7 remake is a sequel?

        Or is this like sequel theory in that Rebuild of Evangelion could be a sequel to Neon Genesis Evangelion?

        I find the entire FF7 remake thing too convoluted (like a soulless cash grab) so I’ve ignored it for the most part.

          I don’t want to drop spoilers for anyone reading but it is a sequel. The “surprise” is that remake refers to the plot of the first part, not a description of the game.
