All of this is pure conjecture and is irrelevant in the sense of how the game actually turned out. We played what came out, not what might have maybe perhaps have been had x/y/z criteria been met. Also haven't heard a single thing about Fromsoft overseeing it or not.
I never said I did, but specifically with FF7 Re, they changed it so much it's barely recognisable from what it was, that's different from taking liberties with the source material and expanding on things in the original. Why bother doing that when you could just make FF16 where you have all the freedom in the world. I'll tell you why, it's to appeal to people from my generation that played it and to appeal to the attention deficit generation all in one go, which is fine but when you mess these things up imma complain.
Same thing for DeS here. They seem to be changing things that affect the atmosphere of the game which I don't think bodes well for the overall project and I want this to be good so I too could enjoy it. But these Souls games always walk such a tightrope where just changing a few small things makes the difference between a generation defining experience like Dark Souls and a turd like Dark Souls 2, which is why I'm concerned about it and it makes me even more critical towards it then something like FF7.
