One of FF7's biggest strengths is its story, and it is fantastic to see how so many people (yourself included it would seem), fail to see why story must be good with such a game.

The retorts I always get for criticising a story are

"it is just a game"
"it is a fantasy"
"it is a sci fi"
"it doesn't matter"
"you take it too seriously"

If you ask me, that is just a poor excuse for saying you don't care about a story or simply don't understand why it is important in a game like Final fantasy. It isn't even close to constructive reasoning either, it is just an attempt at diversion by attacking the person and not the argument.
You need to calm down and realise you're making a lot of assumptions about how I truely feel or about my knowledge on the subject. You know what they say about people who assume!

By the way, excluding FFXII, all Final Fantasy games have cheesy and childish story lines that cater to its target demograph (i.e. 15 year old boys), they are in no way indicative of good writing in any form of literature. So don't go spouting your nonsense to me, please.

The fact that you're going so far as to remove a character and replace it with a new model, texture, possible rig and animation (unless you reuse another character's), for another person's IP is just proof that you are taking it too seriously. I just don't think it's right to crap all over a group of people's vision just because you personally think you know better.
