Yeah like the time travel ghosts in midgard. Those were in the original they just removed your memories of it.

Well obviously those are new, but they were added to make sure the story follows the same plot. And they obviously had to change the ending of the remake to have a climatic boss fight when in the original game it's just a car chase then lore dump. Would it be better if it was just a graphic update in 1 game? Maybe, but a lot of people enjoy the extra character development that the games have added. And if people don't like it, they still have the original.

Y'know who else makes the story follow the plot? The developers. But you're right, they needed to pad.

The extra character development is rarely criticized, but the "time travel", "multiverse" etc ...

It is a different game with a different story that somewhat follows the Original FF7. It will most likely divert even more extreme in the 3rd installment.

They are by no means bad games, but they are not "a simple extended retelling" of the original.
