This is definitely something any artist would want to do. I know I see stuff I've done even just six months ago and cringe, thinking 'what the hell was I doing?'

Cloud: ...after Sephiroth saw the monsters in the reactor, Genesis appeared and goaded him, while his forces attacked Tifa outside.
Barret: Wait a minute, you mean the other legendary SOLDIER 1st Class was there too? I thought he died a year earlier?
Cloud: I though so too...
Tifa: Whatever happened to him?
Cloud: I don't know.

And you'll also get this Cloud mentioning the Turks dealing with and stopping Zirconiade (or however you spell its stupid name) and Jade WEAPON, probably see references to Deepground in the Shin-Ra building, Rufus will mention how Barret's terrorist group is a shadow of the true organization he himself ran, you'll probably stop by in Modeoheim, the remnants of Banora, and any other new location added. You'll probably have to see the opening to Dirge of Cerberus (which is the retcon excuse as to why you don't actually see Yuffie or Vincent in the original game's ending, they were in Midgard helping evacuate people) and you'll probably see some new additions to the ending that allude to Advent Children. It's coming man, just brace yourself and "enjoy the ride" as you always tell me.
I honestly have no issue with this at all. Have you played the original game recently? The world feels really empty, and it'd be nice to fill it with more history than it currently has. The best moments of the game involve the Shin-Ra and we barely get to know about the dirty-doings that they do, especially for an organisation that have taken over the world.

On a side note, I'm always of the opinion that despite the IP being in the commercial domain that it's still the vision of the creators. Who are we to dictate what they want from the IP? It's their baby. If people truely dislike it, then don't pay money for it and they'll learn - but it'll still be their vision and theirs alone. I don't really get why people get in a huff, as if they've been betrayed.
