Would a Final Fantasy game be your GOTY during the years they released?

FF7R is on odd one for me. I can't say that I disliked the game. I liked the characters, I liked the combat system, I liked the music. There were a lot of things that I loved. 85% of the game was great. I just hated the major narrative changes they made.


It's not just that they made these changes, though I'm not sure how I would have felt if they made changes that I thought were actually well done, but I really don't like the direction they chose. I hated every scene the Whispers interrupted, I hated how prevalent Sephiroth is in the story, and I hated this inclusion of "Fate Beings" that were dictating the characters actions. In general I hate story lines with fate and "chosen ones". To me it takes away from the stakes of the story because the characters actions meant nothing throughout the story.


Like I said, I don't hate the game. In fact, I'd have to say it's a pretty great game and if it won their GOTY I'd be okay with that. But I haven't yet replayed the game even though I planned to after finishing it the first time because every time I think about playing it I remember those things I hated and it turns me away.
