The most confusing part of the story is sephiroth. He doesn't act like the same person every time he shows up. My understanding is that the one at the Very end is a post ACC sephiroth and the ones before are a combo of /jenova/hallucinations/ something else.
That's what I was noticing, too, and my new stupid theory is that since multiple timelines are now a thing, there's just also other Sephiroths from other timelines running around in addition to everything else.
It's ironic because Square's policy was always to swear up and down that Sephiroth was related to Hojo and Hojo alone. I dig the idea of him being the father though, They could have a sort of John redcorn thing going on or he was too self absorbed to do a DNA test.
My thing is that even if Vincent is Sephiroth's real father, I just don't see a way it goes well if he tells him. At best, I just see him not caring, and/or not believing him, and at worst, he just goes even more apeshit, and things spiral further.
If they do go have it be so Vincent really is his dad, I just really, really hope they don't try to sidestep the fact that Lucrecia was an absolute dogshit person, and I don't want them to retcon that either. She is a horrible, stupid cunt, and I really want them to acknowledge that.
I am unironically hyped for them to go nuts and do crazy shit. We'll always have the original.
Honestly, I'm the same at this point.
For all its many, many faults, the Remake is not boring-at least when it's not being dragged down by padding, or new pointless characters. Really, that's why those issues bugged me so much. It's because they got in the way of this bizarre, and compelling fever dream of a story that I wanted to know more about.
For as batshit, and stupid as it is, I wanna see more, and more importantly, I want to know just what the fuck is going on.
