It’s not necessarily the idea of pantsing a story is bad. Meanwhile FFVII is helmed by those involved in the original specifically because they wanted to do it. Wherever their road is taking them, they’re still adapting a story rather than making a new one and they’ve clearly doing it out of a place of fashion. So even if the end product ends up stupid, it definitely won’t be as hollow a finale as Star Wars. Or GoT for that matter.
