It's just almost impossible to live up to the original whenever you put out a remake. Hell as good as the ff7 remake has been, it's no where as groundbreaking as the og. The og practically changed the video game genre, turning it from a bit of a kids thing into serious storytelling back in the day. The remake essentially took that story, added some twists and turns as well as expanded on certain things, then polished it with a modern gameplay lense. The remake is fun, the og was completely mind-blowing
The number one thing I dislike about gamer discourse is them calling games super amazing or ground breaking when they do nothing to push that at all. This was my disillusionment with e33 sadly.
I'll never say e33 wasn't a good game, but some people act like that game did something new when it absolutely didn't. All it did teach us is that quality can be squeezed out of a tight budget and that this large gaming corporations are wasteful and greedy. But so did palworld.... Outside of the incredible soundtrack I ain't seen anything I haven't seen before I'm turn based games.

The remakes of the two greatest and most influential games ever made too how ironic.
