But on the other hand, I don’t want to take away from people’s fun.
The remake of ff7 is interesting because unlike a lot of game remakes it does radically alter the source material instead of being like a shot for shot remake that updates the visuals and adds quality of life adjustments. It’s messy of coarse and has a lot of nomura bullshit with the ghosts and deviations which feel like fanservice but i can still think of it as its own beast unlike the re4 remake where the original and remake just blur together for me.

Funnily enough I read that Nomura actually wanted to keep the remake very faithful to the original story. The ghosts and deviations are actually ideas from the other writers, Nojima and I-forget-the-other-guy.
