Oh no, please don't ruin FF7 all over again with more garbo compilation material. We only just started to get away from all that! 😓
Interesting. Very interesting.
I hope we're back to canon instead of that dumb alternate reality from the Remake.

I can see that happening,
especially with Zack surviving at the end of FF7R now.

If done well, I'm fine with it.
The original complication stuff was very low quality. Now it seems Nomura and Kitase are babying it.
Looks like SE wants to mine extra cash while Part 2 is cooking.
I mean, yeah, kinda. There was that mobile game, Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus and then the remake. It's quite a few for a series that serves as largely an anthology of disconnected main titles that move on from one entry to another.
could definitely see this, especially because they'll have a lot of assets + engine stuff to re-use
This is all pretty intriguing and the world of FFVII is kinda dense enough for compilation stuff to work. It's just most of the last attempt was... iffy. 90% of Crisis Core was good tho and Advent Children was a wild ride, if nothing else.
I wouldn't expect games from either of them though, personally. As much as I'd love a more mid-range Switch-focused spin-off.

Yes, of course. This is truthfully the right attitude to have.
However I question the kind of quality this material will achieve considering the legacy of low quality content we've had until now. I would love to be surprised, I just won't be looking forward to this.
There are few things I want less than more hamfisted Shinra backstory. Crisis Core trying to sanitize SOLDIER was already weird enough.
These all need remasters ASAP. I'd also take modern ports as is, but.. Vita died so that'll be hard.
I can't of any of series where a single iteration has been milked so much. Not even Street Fighter 2 with its numerous re-releases or the constant Kanto pandering in Pokemon (which isn't even of the region and its characters, just its pokemon)
Ever Crisis
Absolute Crisis
Crisis? What Crisis?
Does it run Crysis?
No we didn't
FFVIIR is literally a compilation game pretending its a remake
I wasn't expecting them putting in a new compilation so soon (well, trademarking it). S-E, unlike with anything in the first Compilation, nailed the tone, designs and interactions in the remake, so there's that.
But I can't be excited about this having that precedent and certain new stuff they tried with VII Remake that was I just found stupid, pandering and unrestraint to a fault.

as long as it's as good as Crisis Core and not nearly as terrible as Dirge, then I will be happy
also delete Genesis from existence, because fuck that no talent hack Gacht

FF7 Remake is incredible, so maybe a second Compilation would have a similar caliber of well-written and heartfelt characters
VIIR (so far) takes positive elements of the compilation and excludes stuff that sucks. For example, Aerith having a good relationship with the children in her sector is a good Crisis Core carryover. It takes positive qualities from the expanded canon and starts a new story with all that in mind. I think this was a smart idea because it allows them to refine the story with what worked and what didn't.
The final direction of the remake remains to be seen, but right now the remake inspires a confidence that the original compilation did not.
I love the remake very very much, so if the expanded content is comparable in any way I will be satisfied.
The Compilation was awful but Remake was good, so I don't know what to think about this announcement. Hopefully less of the former and more of the latter.
