Square chickened out after manchildren ree’d about the really interesting changes made in Remake, kinda walking it back and trying to pretend it didn’t happen. And ironically, that’s kind of just worse, because those nerds are never going to be happy with what happened in Remake and its ramifications in Rebirth and ReThree, my nerds are mourning for what we could’ve had, and Square looks kinda pathetic and easily bullied.

3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
My Hot Take on the game: it’s really mediocre, maybe even bad, and I don’t know how it got so much praise, when it originally launched.
I don’t see any reason that there needed to be a remake at all.

If they were easily bullied they’d have finished Xenosaga by now.
The post called for hot takes, not shit takes.
I haven’t finished the game yet, but I really wonder what the point of Remake’s ending was, when this game doesn’t do anything with it.
Maybe the final piece will pull it all together? I hope they make me look like an idiot
Yuffie is great. Most of the minigames aren’t
She’s just the worst. I spent the whole game waiting for her to steal my materia and disappear.
That would have been preferable to her being there for 40 hours being a dumbass. Imo.
