It's all at least a little relevant since we don't know how much work is going into the remake beyond the presented graphical updates. Will they try to tweak Sephiroth to make him a more... "badass" villain? Pull in all the new stuff added from the Compilation?
The latter worries me most, actually, because of the massive changes to key characters. Cloud was never really an emo angstfest like people seem to like to portray him - he was cocky, arrogant, and had a mouth on him... and that only really fell apart when he found out he might be little more than a Sephiroth-clone. Not to mention the whole "becoming Zack" thing wrought from Hojo's experimentation on him post-Sephiroth fight.
Aeris/Aerith wasn't some pure innocent thing, either. She was a streetwise "flower-seller" who just happened to be one of the last of an ancient race. Oddly enough, from what I recall, it was Tifa who better fit that role - clinging to Cloud, bringing him into the fold, and not telling him his memories of the past were wrong for fear of driving him away.
I'm just wondering how much of that will be maintained, and how much of it might be altered to better fit the "updated" FF7 universe.
