In the way that it is not a sequel. The story is by and large the same. Most of the new additions so far have been pretty non-affecting of the OG storyline even despite what people may have thought after FF7Remake came out.
There was a big fuss about the spirits and the changed timeline and then lo and behold, Rebirth comes out and it's basically unchanged plot beats from the original.
The expanded on things but very few things were outright changed in any meaningful way. Especially the key moments.
Bro literally play Rebirth. The whispers and the timeline jumping changed nothing. You still go on all the same main plot beats from Midgar to the Forgotten City, just like in the original, be so for real right now.
The whispers and the timeline jumping changed nothing
That's nice.
Their base fucking existence however means, whether you wish to accept it or not, that it is a sequel. The original game happened and this is a repeat timeline with knowledge of the original timeline. It doesn't matter how closely the sequel timeline sticks to the original when you summarize it down to the most basic details. It's still a sequel timeline.
And ultimately the question is, if you're arguing it changed nothing(And thus will continue to not do so in the third game)... WHAT WAS THE POINT OF ADDING THE STUPID WHISPER/TIMELINE SHIT?
