I never played this game or any of the franchise.
But a friend of mine just told me, "Nomura was in this" with the subtext of, "he ruined it." XD
I have NO IDEA why Nomura's time travel/parallel timelines/universes bullshit is accepted by game makers - don't they see it's shit? xD Like, actually, genuenly??
FF7 Rebirth was a pile of stink. It had it's good moments, but if a big plot point from the previous game is resolved here in a MISSABLE side quest then...idk...wtf are you doing?
And by the end its like, has Cloud killed Aerith? Or Sephiroth? Or is she alive? Can only Cloud see her? Why does he see a dark sky and the others do not? And this and that...and it all hinges on Nomura's multiple timeline setup that began by the end of the first game and was introduced by the Whispers going as far as to reviving Barett. o.o
I first got to "meet" Nomura in Kingdom Hearts 3's ending and it /bothered/ me so much - you effectively play the ending twice, and technically even THRICE because of this time travel shit.

Who asked for this? Why is he in so many games now? Why is that the only trope he can (**and will**) do? Literally ruining games over here...

I used to be sentimental when I heared Aerith's theme play. Now? Crickets. It's still a nice theme but I wish I could delete FF7 Rebirth from my memory. Remake was...fine... but Rebirth did me in good (or, bad...).
So let's see what the man did to Parasite Eve, a very classic franchise.

How much did he ruin it?
