@Th3solution Well, I did say I never finished the original, so…
It's Rebirth by the way. Who knows afterwards. Maybe they third one will be one of the other ones. Maybe even Final Fantasy VII: We Swear We Aren't Killing Aerith This Time.
I've technically only finished the original FF7 once, but have replayed it up to the point where you're right before the final dungeon at least six times over the years. I guess I really just didn't want it to end.
@Th3solution It's like they delivered on 95% of remaking FF7's Midgar arc rather faithfully, and then, at the last minute, decide to go full Kingdom Hearts-level bonkers with everything in a way that totally throws off the story progression. If you told me they decided to allow a child to storyboard the last couple of hours of that game, or that the ending was just a really weird acid trip, I'd take it.
It's actually the second time recently that a beloved Japanese property I'm invested in has seen a modern release that was billed as a remake, but eventually flips the table and reveals itself to be a stealth sequel. It's pretty much that meme… if I had two nickels for every time it'd happened to me, I'd only have ten cents, but it's still weird it happened twice.
It definitely didn't ruin the game for me, but it does make me VERY wary of where they're going with the story in the sequels.

What was the other franchise that did the ol’ bait-and-switch on its remake?
@Th3solution Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni. The anime, in particular. The series was revived recently
