    I’m confused why they’re releasing what’s effectively a patch for the 2013 release as a standalone thing. Why not update what’s already out there?

        That’s the source of my confusion. They’ve re-released FFVII on nearly everything, remastered it, etc; I guess I’m more confused by their decision to break save compatibility.

        I have gobs of games that have saves in different game versions. Some games handle large updates as “mods” that can simply be toggled. Some auto-update the old save. It’s doable. For the company that’s rewritten this game a half dozen times I can’t imagine it was because they “couldn’t”. Maybe if they ran out of time?
