I’m playing through the remake now and getting intensely anticapitalist vibes

    Thats fair enough, I'm glad that you liked it. I'm personally a bit more cynical - I think finance wise SqEnix realized they cannot sell a faithful adaptation in piecewise 3-4 full priced game, they are afraid that zoomers and newcomers will simply finish part 1 then got curious, play the OG and never buy the 2nd 3rd 4th part and spoil themselves.

    I'm fine with theme of fight and overcome destiny. But I would rather them telling a new story than adapting an existing and complete story, remixing it and changing the crux of the message from Exxon bad, to overcome destiny, do rights from wrong? (i thought FF7 ending is okay, so nothing really to undo really)
