Square chickened out after manchildren ree’d about the really interesting changes made in Remake, kinda walking it back and trying to pretend it didn’t happen. And ironically, that’s kind of just worse, because those nerds are never going to be happy with what happened in Remake and its ramifications in Rebirth and ReThree, my nerds are mourning for what we could’ve had, and Square looks kinda pathetic and easily bullied.

My Hot Take on the game: it's really mediocre, maybe even bad, and I don't know how it got so much praise, when it originally launched.

I don't see any reason that there needed to be a remake at all.

Yuffie is great. Most of the minigames aren't
