On the whole I found them both rather stupid, but for different reasons.

The Ivalice Alliance is completely out of line with the world the FFT created. The style and presentation of Ivalice is completely different in all the titles. The titles created under the Alliance are all self consistent, but I'm just not seeing any connection flavour wise to FFT. It still boggles my mind why they had to re-invent an existing world instead of just creating a new one.

The FF7 compilation was a mess with all the retcons and re-envisioning of Cloud's character. I'm somewhat skeptical that the company who think that this of the FF7 world in this way is going to do the original justice in the remake.

It's a shame as FF7 and FFT are my two favorite games of all time, and I can't say I care for either of their add-on libraries at all.
