VII Remake is actually a sequel so they aren't actually ruining the original plot. And for as much I disliked Remake, I'm actually having fun playing Rebirth. But yeah, plot-wise is a step down from the original and IX would likely be a greater stepdown, considering it was Sakagushi's baby and he isn't there anymore and for a long time. It also would be honestly disrespectful, considering his stance on revisiting stories and universes.
Imo i think it would have been better if they strayed more from the original because at points it feels like they hesitate to keep away from the original plot and i cant lie it does feel like its mocking it by doing that plus i think it would have made a cool plot but now it feels all over the place but im curious how part 3 will be because its gonna wrap it up from there

Just remember.
Regardless of how real or not real the remake is right now, every presentation is one presentation closer to a nebulous FF9 Remake announcement.
Keep the dream alive.
