SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

Part of this has to do with the fact that part 3 of the Remake isn't even out yet. I suspect a lot of opinions will change once that happens. It's hard not to think of a story as a static after you know how it ends.

Quick question: what is happening to some people over there?

This is the most insane take I've ever seen, and i've been on and off from fandom since a bit before AC. And most of them have also been locked in a "Tifa is a side character" for a few days too, which is stupid and so obviously wrong (without her there's no FFVII lol). Though that one may be connected to her getting nominated for best character at the Famitsu games awards (and she just won so congratulations!). Which pretty much destroys their "Tifa is only liked in the West" theory.
Edit: there was a Nomura comment with Tifa's win, that melts my heart: https://x.com/yokikotokiku3/status/1900864937330663794

They are grasping desperate at straws for a way to make Aerith the forever center of attention because no one else deserves it in their eyes. It's like the old birds right activist meme.
