this is true to a certain extent but they did throw a lot of hints and why they pointed out people should still play the hd version of the orginal game this is some rebuild of evangelion type stuff. i was gonna wait until i heard about this stuff now iām in for the ride. the zack stuff is whatās getting me tho.

Aight about that
Summary
Zack is where they couldāve done more to better tell the story. There are a lot of plot points and scenes that couldāve used a better explanation or just clearer storytelling.
Cloudās mental issues, Zackās place, the nibbleheim stuff, Cait Sith, Cidās weird abusive relationship, Condor reactor etc. Barretās background story could use some retelling so people stop sleeping on him.
āLol we are just retconning thingsā does fuck all for any of that.
People gotta be honest, they are just doing somw fanfiction bullshit to further fuck it all up like all the extra FF7 material has been.
For people like meā¦
Summary
That thought the original story bad. Itās all good. My only complaint is the new voice actor for Zack was subpar. Bring back the dude from Crisis Core.

Iām not salty, its just trash. This thread saved me hella money.
Summary
What direction? theyāre changing the story altogether. One you start changing plot points, you definitely headed in the fanficiton direction. They arenāt fixing narrative issues, theyāre changing the story.
Pick any story you like and then add that element to it. Suddenly its trash.
Summary
If you didnāt like it the first time, why are you buying it the 2nd?
I donāt like the RE series. If they fucked story elements of the game 'cause they thought it would get me to buy a remake, theyād do a disservice to all the actual RE fans. As a matter of fact, its the type of shit that usually sours fans long term.
So basically everybody is cosigning some terrible fanfiction nonsense for the sake of it.
Thatās dumb as all fuck. 
@Pertho Where have you been man? Iāve been over my thoughts of FFVII ten times over. Iāve mentioned, in spoilers, my thoughts on FFVIIR as well. I bought it because I liked the game play of the demo and I heard they were changing the story. Once a bunch of people that liked the original game, which I think is ass, started bitching about the new one, I knew Iād be good to go.

Canāt wait to get to the end of the game myself and find out itās not a big deal at all.
Not gonna spoil anything but story wise. Iāll just say this game is a remake of the Midgar events. Iāll let you find out the rest for yourself.

Iām on the same boat. I didnāt like the original game neither and stans of the original hating on changes made me want to play it. Iām going to wait a year so I can get it on PC. I want all the parts of this thing in one place.

I mean it has been said before Nomura is Nomura, those of us that thought he would mellow were wrong after the cluster that was XV/XIII Versus and KH3 development projects on this relatively straight forward one.
Give the man ship wheel is a akin to letting it go and putting it in the hands of fate. But that being said, this feels like a step up compared to KH games and FFXIII in terms of story. But if you wanted a straight remake, yeah this aināt it.

Yeah my biggest problem with FFVII was the story and the characters. I thought both were poor. Cloud was a poor antagonist and given the actual events of the story that was wholely unnecessary. He literally usurps the weapon, feats, and girl of someone else. As for why I say it was unnecessary. I will spoiler tag this even though this 23 years old.
Summary
He killed Sephiroth. The lowly Shinra Guard smoked the baddest warrior in the planets history. Not only that, he did it in bad ass way. He got run through and in spite of that picked Sephiroth up and chucked him the life stream. He did what Zack, the brother like mentor whoās life literally stole, could not and beat Sephiroth. Why have the protagonist adopt someone elses life when he did what no one, not any actual member of SOLDIER, could pull off.
Sephiroth was just antagonist version of Cloud. A guy that looked cool as hell but wasnāt beneath the surface.
Summary
He breaks down after reading the supposed truth about his origins. Which if he actually did. Would have told him Hojo is his father and Lucretia, not Jenova, is his mother. The different between Sephiroth and standard members of SOLDIER was that he got his infusion of Jenova cells in vitro. Yes the process gifted him with great physical gifts but he still was human being. One whoās parents were still around. Hell him snapping slaughtered Shinra and killing Hojo would have made a heck of a lot more sense.
I also didnāt buy Tifa and Clouds friendship in the original game. It came off more as the unpopular kid lusting after the popular girl from a far that some close nit relationship.

Continuing the thoughts from my previous post. Three changes. Just three changes could have made the original story make more damn sense.
Cloud
Summary
If Zack had actually killed Sephiroth. Cloudās arc would have made sense. Zack would have avenged Cloudās hometown and died saving his life. He would latch on to Zackās life because he literally would have been everything Cloud wanted to be. He could have been drawn to Aerith because he subconsciously wanted to make up for costing her the man she loved.
Sephiroth
Summary
This just is simple. Instead of Lucretia being Sephirothās mother. Have her be only be a surrogate. Have Hojo implant an egg form Jenova in Lucretia and fertilize it with his DNA. Jenova actually being Sephirothās mother combined with his father being an unrepentant jackass. Makes sense of his character arc.
Tifa
Summary
Simple. Make Cloud her actual ex-boyfriend. Her hometown sweet heart. That would make her knowing his persona is complete bullshit and hiding it from her friends at AVALANCHE, risking their lives in the process, make sense.

Except he was raised as a lab experiment. Regular SOLDIER members werenāt. Thatās why he went crazy. He gets to be extraordinary because he isnāt entirely human.
Same with Cloud. Dude leaves because he wants to be a big bad hero. They told him he doesnāt have what it takes. Comes back as regular infantry unit, does something extraordinary, conquers his literal mind demons from a bunch of shitty science experiment, saves the day.
Tifa and Cloud being friend works too. A lot of Cloudās story is about the confusion he is in when you enter the game. Tifa gets to question wtf is going on, Aeris is constantly reminded of somebody. Its all set up for the Niebleheim situation.
Probably couldāve used a better translation but everything that happened in FF7 is explained. Shinra guard Cloud didnāt win a clean fight, he tossed a fool off of a bridge then passed out bleeding.
