People looking at FFRemake - a single story Hobbit'ed into multiple games by bean counters - making the blunder of not carrying over progress and thinking 'wHen HaVE SeQUEls EvER caRRIeD OvER DAta' is a legitimate defense is just peak CE.

Pretty much.

Granted, nobody really expected 1:1 carryover. Most sequels with carryover dont have 1:1 carryover, but they at least acknowledge decisions and choices (which 7R doesnt have), sidequest completion (.e.g., if you did an NPCs quest, when you meet them in the next one there will be a dialogue line acknowledging it), and have some sort of token carryover in terms of stats and equipment, like getting 5 free level ups and notable equipment being there but being outclassed quickly.

The root problem is that just resetting the party mid experience is jarring and immersion breaking, and people were always going to feel that way because they Hobbit Movie-ed a single game.
