So the FF VII Remake ... isn't.

I'm glad I held off, because I don't have any interest in a new game pretending to be an old one. Giant disappointment.
Yeah, I don't know those games. I have no interest in those games.

I was led to believe this was going to be a remake of FF VII. That's the game I was interested in.

I'm glad I spoiled myself before I wasted the money. https://twitter.com/AlastorCain/status/1252853126668800005
Well, too bad for them, because there was only one version I'd be willing to pay for. https://twitter.com/DerSchilderich/status/1252853578814779399
An HD voice-acted version of FF VII.

You know. Like the trailer suggested. https://twitter.com/0ButterBall/status/1252854910111985665
What a weird response. https://twitter.com/DerSchilderich/status/1252855324622483457
... because I don't want to pay for something that I don't want?

Y'all are being bizarre. https://twitter.com/mariofanboy15/status/1252855681390002176
I could understand a "spoiled child" accusation if I'd spent the money and demanded it back because it wasn't the game I was led to believe.

But ... I'm not buying something I don't want. Should I buy things I don't want in order to not be spoiled?

Again: you're being weird.
And let me tell you: everyone rules-lawyering the word "remake?"

You're not coming off well. Rules lawyers never do.

Ask Ben Kenobi sometime.
And that's fine, if you're enjoying it.

But personally I'd be less put off if they'd been up front about the fact it's not FF VII. I was really looking forward to it. https://twitter.com/PushinUpRoses/status/1252858896479170563
I'm mainly irritated that they were cute about it. I might have even been receptive to a splinter game or a Final Fantasy VII-B (or whatever you could possibly call it).

This thing's been in the works for years, remember. A swerve was ... unwelcome. https://twitter.com/Deva_Ashera/status/1252861283302400000
I mean ... the opening cinematic was teased as a shot-for-shot. And the presumption is it would be a "remake" of the game.

You're telling me I'd have had to have followed the coverage breathlessly to know otherwise. https://twitter.com/Noxgarm/status/1252862427311403008
