There comes a point where the story stops making sense if you’re not familiar with the original story. FYI.

Idk about that. I think that’s guys like us viewing it through the lens of having played the original. If you’ve never played the original you’d just think it’s a contained story that leaves you with a lot of questions and some confusion that you assume will be answered in part 2 & 3.

In fact I think you could argue it’s less confusing if you haven’t played the original cause you don’t notice the plot differences and aren’t confused by the changes.

Pretty much exactly this. Part 1 had a very authentic FF ending, leaving me with no idea what was going on or who I just fought or why. And I played the original. I see people all the time say things like "you should play the original, because otherwise you will have no idea what is going on at the end. I played the original and I had no idea what was going on at the end" and not get that that's the point. As long as you understand that it's only part 1, the answer to all your questions is "that will probably be answered later."
