No. I thought FF7R was going to be a straight up remake. I had never played any FF games and was looking to enjoy the legendary FF7 in a modern package, but was was disappointed to hear the story had been changed from the original plot (not just drawn out) after already purchasing the game.

biggest bummer ever, didn't finish and no longer have any interest in the rest of 7 remake.

Also, this is my initial opinion too.

Was looking super forward to FF7R to experience the story, but learning it was just a chopped up pseudo-sequel trilogy instead made me lose all interest. Promoting it as an actual remake was a dick move.

But now that I've played the original FF7 and know the real story, I feel like I'm qualified to delve into this new fanfic version of the story.
