i will very much enjoy ff7r3's combat and queen's blood but the way this story is pulling into the final station after how cool remake/intermission were seems so disappointing. they're so terrified of upsetting fans they can't even remember cissnei is Evil. it's just clap because you recognise her

becoming best friends with the shinra seventh infantry and the shinra middle manager and we all love zack and cissnei and hell even rufus you're not so bad we can work together its like. what is this story even about anymore. sephiroth was not the villain of ff7! he was just the bill coming due

Are they gonna do anything with that whole multiverse-concept that turned up in rebirth? Or are we just gonna forget about it

I know comparing it to Kingdom Hearts is a bad faith meme but this is literally the KH structure. At this point FF7’s story is the Disney Worlds: the formality we sit through until an incredibly backloaded finale that rushes through all its new ideas.

I so, so desperately need Nomura to tell a new original story that isn't tied to 30 hours of Going Through The Paces. The last times he did that we got FF7 and FF8.

Technically the writing for both og 7 and 8 and both remakes is largely Kazushige Nojima (the walking embodiment of ‘it’s so over, we’re so back.’ But Nomura did direct Remake part 1 and he definitely does the backloaded structure even now (see Strangers of Paradise)
