That's really disappointing. Like I said before, it really aggravates me when I have to find out important story elements outside of the game, but now it's just getting sad. It takes me out of the story.

I completely forgot to take a look at that link before, but I'll give it a look now.

I'll agree though, they really missed the mark with this game. Well... even the compilation as a whole. Whilst I do like Crisis Core and Advent Children, I can't help but feel the compilation could have been done a hell of a lot better considering FFVII would be such an important installment to Square-Enix.
I agree wholeheartedly. VII is my favorite in the series and the only good thing that has come of this compilation is a greater respect for the original game. Crisis Core was alright, but the story felt repetitive. Advent Children was good, and AC: Complete was even better, but something felt very off about it.
