While RPGs are typically known for featuring lengthy and dramatic stories, there are few titles in that genre that resonate so closely to gamers' hearts as Final Fantasy 7. The story of FF7 has stuck with many of the players who grew up with only the original title, and that love for what the game gave fans back in 1997 has left later expansions to the lore in a rather conflicting spot. To this day, fans are divided on if the Compilation of Final Fantasy 7 improved the original story or retconned it into something completely different. Despite that, though, Final Fantasy 7 Remake borrows, includes, and ties in important details from the Compilation to make the experience feel much more complete with what came after 1997.
