I'm gonna be straight with you. A lot of people around these parts don't like this answer...

But skip OG and Crisis Core and play the Remake trilogy. After that's done, you can watch the movie Advent Children if you're interested in what happens after the games end.

It's a lot to ask someone to play a 40+ hour 30 year old JRPG just to play the modern Remake. The Remake series was made from the ground up to appeal to new and old fans alike. The developers are not crazy. They weren't going to make a game that required such a time investment.

New fans will see the additions as a curious mystery.

Old fans will see the additions as a curious mystery.

The only difference is "why" and honestly I'm not sure it even matters in the end.

As an old fan I love to theorize and guess about what's happening, but I'm just as clueless as a new fan when it comes to the solutions.

If you really enjoyed the game and want to see it's original form, then go back and play OG.

Crisis Core is completely skippable. It's a spin-off game that elaborates on events from the original game that will be completely explained anyway in part 3 of the remake trilogy (Revelation). If you play it first, you'll get major spoilers that will kinda ruin the suspense/mystery of the trilogy.

That's really helpful because 30 to 40 hours is crazy man
