A negative retcon is what they did in last order with Sephiroth willingly jumping into the reactor vs Cloud literally tossing him in there originally. That literally contradicts what happens outright.
Everyone who knew Genesis on vii was dead or corrupted. They made it so it wouldn't conflict with anything in case people ask why wasn't he mentioned originally.
