The people on the rotten pizza want you to believe there are two timelines in Final Fantasy VII, the original and the Remake timeline.
But let me tell you there are three timelines:
• the original
• the one in which Remake begins
• the one in which Remake ends
At first, I hated the direction Remake takes, then I liked it and now I love it. It took a few years for me to appreciate the fact that this is not a classic remake, but a sequel, as well.
I’m still not a fan of how restrictive the exploration is and the direction of some scenes or chapters are not as great as in the original. But the restrictions are in the nature of Midgar itself, so I hope Rebirth fixes some of the issues I have with Remake. And apparently, it does.
