i'm fine with that, honestly. i love the breakup of ff7 into three different pieces because it gives it more time to bake and tell a story instead of trying to fit it all in one game.

So far it's a worse story than the original, and taking a decade to tell it doesn't improve its enjoyment

They had so much filler too. The giant mechanical hand sitting on a junk pile in Shinra is cool as a bit of a background piece, but not as an entire puzzle corridor. The remakes are littered with little things like this that deliberately slow down the pacing in a not very meaningful way.
