I'm so torn on the subject of a VI remake. On the one hand, it tickles my brain to think of what it would be like if given the full treatment à la VII Remake, but on the other hand I consider the game pretty much perfect as-is and don't want it sullied.

To be fair, Intergrade and Rebirth remix some things that mean they don't really replace the original game.

They're doing something different with the story that we still haven't had fully explained, which means I'm playing completely riveted to the story, with no idea what'll happen, even though the original game has existed longer than I have.

And the gameplay is obviously completely different.

It means they're more than "remakes", imo. They're more like adaptations, making changes that alter the source material to fit a new medium. Almost like going from book to TV.

And in the same way, both the "book" and the "TV Series" both remain worthy of being experienced. Different people might prefer one or the other, while others will insist the "full experience" is to engage with both. Either way, both add to the whole by existing.

I still haven't played Part 2, but I'm pretty sure the remake trilogy is a stealth sequel.

I'm halfway through Rebirth, and shit has me so confused I stopped trusting any of my theories for what is going on.

It's continued to be good though. Excellent even.

The weird multiverse story changes to ff7 remake are hot garbage that nobody asked for.
