FF7 is a lot like Kingdom Hearts. There's the Main Series (KH, KH2, KH3 compared to... FF7) and then there's the metric fuckton of super-JRPG JRPGs that were added to "enhance" the world (Every handheld KH, all of the extra FF7 games).
I'm of the opinion of that isn't broke doesn't need fixing. I can safely ignore all of the extra stuff and be satisfied. Sephiroth found out he was an inhuman clone, and that the people he worked for (and killed for) destroyed his species. That's enough for me. If some idiot with a dumb name wants a self-insert with a dumber name to suddenly be the catalyst, that's fine. I'm not playing it, and I'm ignoring it in the context of the original game.
If this is an all-encompassing FF7 remake that alludes to all of CC and Dirge and AC as canon, then... Well, I guess I'll play it anyway, but I feel like explaining all of the extra stuff cheapens the original journey.
