Its really my fault I bought this, but I don't use my PS4 for much and I've gotten what I want on it (JoJo Eyes if Heaven, Bloodborne, Persona 5). I don't really mind the prettiness and the gameplay, and to be frank, I honestly wasn't expecting a fully faithful remake. Companies can't even do remasters correctly these days (see the 'remasters' of the older FFs on Steam where you have to grab mods to get the good sprite art back).
The only thing I'm mad about is that it had to be multiple games instead of a single one. But that's ok, if I turn out loathing the direction it goes, I'll just finish it, never buy the sequel and go 'lol, this is trash', mine the devout FFVII players for salt and start up Persona 5 royal waifu action. Though if it turns out to be magnificent Japanese insanity I'll probably buy the sequel. I'm too used to Western games 'making sense' and having 'plots'. If it turns into Nomura being a spiteful, idotic faggot then I'll just cut my losses and laugh.
My experience with these things laid this early is they typically amount to nothing due to huge development cycles and things changing rapidly over time. I'd say the best answer is don't speculate, because the likelihood these things matter less and less and less goes upward over time. The way this 'remake' turned out it is that it basically wasn't designed properly with no real plan going forward in the future. The more I play, the more this feeling I get from that. So I imagine it is going to turn out to be a clusterfuck.
Just hope Nomura is batshit enough like Kojima that it will turn into a beautiful clusterfuck like a half-naked supermodel breathing through her skin and dancing in water in a thong and not a boring clusterfuck like Rian Johnson where he makes 'Opposite Day: The Movie'.
