The ending of part 1 was literally killing a manifestation of the concept of being a remake. It's a sequel to FF7R, in which the subtitle "Remake" was a red herring, not part 2 of a remake.

Considering how much it smacks you in the face, it amazes me how many people fail to see or completely ignore the subversion of destiny/fate plot point.

No one fails to see that after playing the game. As the person above you said, the game title was deceptive. We were told it was a remake, but were given something else instead.

That’s not what they said at all, especially not in the manner you’re arguing.

Maybe I’m just high, but I can’t for the life of me understand what the fuck this means…lol

Essentially "Remake" was the subtitle of the game, rather than a term like remaster. It was subtle until the end, but you're remaking the story's timeline. It's a sequel, not a remaster or reimagining of the original.

Also, yeah you're definitely high. Like damn dude.
