The reasons why FFVII gamers can choose to ignore The Compilation if they wish

[Charcoal]

Like I said, some people are blinded because they can't handle more then one type of canon - the official one. Honestly, I don't know why I bother discussing this with you anymore. If Square Enix announced something stupid like "Final Fantasy VII: Drunken Party at The Gold Saucer Edition" is up next, you would have considered in canon because it was official (judging by your posts). Still, I'll try one more time...

CONCESSION ACCEPTED.

Well I can't decide anything no, because I don't work for SE and so I can't provide you with any official information. Does that mean people can't see anything for themselves these days?

No. You have already invalidated your argument. STOP TALKING.

You don't get the point alright.

Which they cannot do, not being SE, and thus not having the power to do.

You don't have to be SE in order to contribute with some information based on common sense.

YES IT CAN.

NO IT CAN'T. I'll even tell you why. THERE ARE PLOT HOLES IN THERE.

No. Fanon is you saying there is a choice. THERE ISN'T.

At least make an attempt at getting my point before adding an answer to that quote.

And since their cases are different, one should not expect their situations to be perfectly alike.

I haven't said that either.

So was Star Wars Episode IV. Lucas still retconned it. We don't get to decide which version of 4 is the "one true version". George says "This one is", and we have to go "Okay, then...".

Since i don't know anything about Star Wars, I don't know how that went.

They are a for profit company.

Yes.

Argument boiled down to simple statements: Because FF7 was complete, you don't have to accept the compilation. This is a non sequitor.

Yeah right . Like if I haven't presented you with numerous arguments already. This is a quick way of explaining it, it goes together with my other arguments.

The purpose of FFVII was to reel in money. SE sells us a product. That's expected.

I referred to the fact that they are milking the concept. I've already answered this question so why do I get this feeling you haven't read my posts too well :rolleyes2 ?

But this does NOT mean that they can decide what is and is not part of the story. You can ignore all sorts of the story and make up random crap like Cloud and Aerith having spirit sex on the side of the highway. People do. However, and this is the important part, THIS HAS NO BEARING ON THE CANON. These people have created their own FANON, and that's what you've been blathering on about for two pages now.

There are a lot of fanon out there, yes. However I've already told you several times why this isn't. You just don't notice because you don't think there is the slightest possibility of official being wrong. And in one way that's true. The Compilation is canon because it's official. Still, try catching my point and see there are two versions of FFVII, even if SE don't say so. After all, they haven't denied it either. You don't have to be Einstein to tell, you just don't notice because like I said, some go blind when facing this kind of information .

I haven't forgotten you Mirage !

In the compilation they're correcting things that weren't properly translated or portrayed in the original game, and specifying particular "dodgy" events in the main game.

Unfortunately they don't. Like I stated in my first post SE don't just add fillers, they alter the original script. They're providing us with retcon in other words.
