Therein lies the problem.
Spoiler for original FF7, comparison to remake:
There is also the meta reason why events can and will be changed: because Nojima knows that a large portion of the audience knows about the original, the impact is not the same unless they change it. For example, you can see in this interview when Nojima says the decision to increase Sephiroth's presence this early in the story is because they wanted to maintain his overarching presence throughout the series (despite the game being constrained to Midgar). Spoiler for speculation:

Have been playing it since yesterday. I'm really enjoying the battle system, though it will probably get me some time to get fully used to it. Really good mix of real time battle and old ATB, and the characters all play differently.
I'm on chapter 4 (probably in the middle) and the changes to the story have all been good things so far. Almost feels like a new story. I particularly like what they've done with Jessie, who was a whatever character in the original and is really fleshed out here. FFVII had two top tier waifus, the remake has three! The main flaw so far are the graphics. First two chapters were good, but the area in chapter three looks bad. Not because the place is a shithole, it just really looks bad. Not the kind of stuff you'd expect to see in an AAA game. Hopefully the rest of the game looks better.

So yeah about that Midgar Zolom? Spoiler:
Would certainly be more compelling then hey Midgar Zolom! We can't fight that yet, too strong! So this post took too long to write. Spoiler:

So yeah since these posts are starting to become rather time consuming, I'll just say that I don't argue that the changes they want to do to the story are bad. Hell I welcome the changes and additions so long as they actually make good ones, and a good portion of what they actually decided to expand on were decent at the very least. My point of contention is the execution. I have no issue with the end result and even support it to a degree, but the execution of Chapter 18 leaves much to be desired. If nothing else grant me that chapter could have been handled better without having to jump the shark like that. |
