In almost every title he appears in he basically relives the plot of VII, except he gets more depressing and appears more like a sick shadow of his former self.
The Compilation has done nothing but spit on the name of the original cause at this point in time if there ever is going to be a VII remake we now have to change the original in order to have everything conform to the retcon continuity from the Compilation. Now I don't claim to be a great writer but somehow, it just seems illogical to create sequels and prequels that do not conform to the continuity of the original and instead strike out on your own and create a scenario where the original will have to be changed considerably in order to fit into the sequels/prequels that were made 10 years after the fact. That's just bad writing in my book. Especially since I don't feel either Cloud, Tifa, or Sephiroth appear in any of these titles acting the same way they did in the game.
