Why did SE do a Remaster when they couldve just come up with an original idea?

Were they so out of original ideas that they thought tacking on a novella and tape recording was a good idea? Why?

Have SE ever heard the term "If it aint broke don't fix it?"

I'm of the opinion that the story ended with the canon ending of FFX-2 for the PS2. At least that's what I tell myself. Where's an amnesia ray when you need one?

I found out about this novella/tape abomination while doing some internet research. I found out in depth stuff about how they's screwed the plot up. For a while I was so upset I didn't even wanna play X2, or I wanted to throw the end fight and see Armageddon happen because it was preferable in light of the damage they did to the story.

Does SE themselves have a good explanation for this or did they just hide behind PR crap?

And why was the notion of an X-3 even on the table?

Just....

Needed to get that off my chest

Let's have a discussion?
