As for FFVII, I doubt it’s them being unfamiliar with reboot culture and rather deliberately making metacommentary on it, much like Undertale did with the very concept of video games. For a game that has such a gigantic legacy - and one that people have been begging for a remake for so long - I think that’s appropriate. And on a personal note, I do genuinely appreciate the fact that they could have made a crapload of money by just following the additional story but instead they took a huge creative risk. That is commendable and in the pandering environment that is modern pop culture, I think that’s an incredibly important step.
