That's the right mentality imo. I mean, as long as I like the changes haha. But really, that's nice to hear, especially since I, despite being very critic of Nomura's many flaws, LOVE the guy and owe him a huge chunk of my childhood, so watching him being excited/happy about a project makes me happy, especially after the XV debacle.
I would also be satisfied with a complete overhaul of the game in terms of visuals, but maintaining the essence via having prerrendered backgrounds and all that jazz. But I actually prefer them going beyond that. In my ideal world, apart from releasing it soon and being a great game xD, it would be a fully 3D realization (which it'll be for sure) of the original game's places, as faithful as possible. Combat system close (at its core) to the original, I miss ATB so bad. The same for the story regarding faithfullness, with the necessary changes, additions, removals... Hell, they could even include things that got cut from the original game, like the Sephirot figurines!
I guess have the stigma of disliking AC in terms of plot, characterization and even character designs, and that was handled by the same people doing this. So, let's hope this time I manage to fully enjoy it. And hopefully Kitase actually returns to form even if just as a producer.
This is going to be a reimagination of the original game, so I'm very excited to see that, provided they keep the essential points of the original (which I think they will, since I guess they want to fit it into the Compilation, which, if very different compared to VII, actually respects the lore, even if I don't like certain uses of the lore). If not, well, not a drama, but I wouldn't be very happy at first, but I totally would eventually welcome it, since it's their vision, I guess.
Winter can't come soon enough
