Ending SpoilersI know the ending is controversial and everything but I’m honestly so glad they chose to go that way. It’s silly, sure, but in a way it serves as a meta commentary on FFVII’s gargantuan legacy. More importantly, however, if flies in the face of remake culture where people are constantly just begging to revisit stuff they remember from their childhoods. FFVII remake’s story being completely 1:1 with the original would have been easy money for SE but instead they decided to do something new. And with people endlessly complaining about new releases and just begging for remakes, this was probably the only way to actually do something new and make it work. So in a weird way, I’d even say it’s, weirdly, an expression of artistic integrity on their part, and I commend them for it.
Of course, I’m just going off of what I saw and read. Still no PS4 so I’m still dying to play this game
