I see FF7 and the Remake Trilogy like how I see the Dune franchise.
The film plot diverges more from the book's plot in Dune: Part Two (2024) than in Dune (2021). I think Dune: Part Two is still very good, even if there are some creative choices I disagree with. I began to see it not as an unfaithful adaptation of the book, but more as a different version, or a different retelling of the same story. I still believe that me or anyone else can freely criticize those choices that were made. I let go a little bit, without "turning off my brain" or doing a "just have fun" thing, and it's much better for me. I always liked the 1984 version but now I can enjoy it more comfortably with this mindset.
The Remake Trilogy is not the same as the original game. It's close enough though and the quality of the game is also very good. I would not have done certain things if it were up to me, but I'm very happy with what we got.
