Re: The Worst 'Expanded Universe'-related material for your fandom
1. Trying very hard to replicate the ground-breaking success of the original game without truly understanding what made it great. Instead they just lift the superficial 'cool' parts and plaster them everywhere, ignorant of the fact that it was HOW those cool parts were used that made the game awesome. Sephiroth and his final boss music is a prime example.
2. Took itself waaaaaay too seriously. FF7 was a game where you crossdressed to get inside the bedchamber of a sleazy pimp. It had moments of slapstick, naughtiness, humour and genuine good cheer. The expasion is just 99% GRITTINESS RAWR.
3. Over-complication. Complicated backstories, complicated plots, complicated outfits, complicated EVERYTHING. SE stupidly assumes that adding MORE 'cool' stuff will make it more cool, when it actuality it just makes everything more stupid.
4. Undoing the character developments of the first game. Cloud became a more rounded and happy person, Vincent made peace with his past, Barret started to create real productive change, etc. They reset that for petty angst.
5. Speaking of, ignoring all the non-pretty characters like Barret and Red XIII and making people like Cid prettier. Oh, and bringing back dead bishies because you can never have too many bishies. Fuck. Off.
6. Adding more and more empty and unremarkable characters that are not remotely memorable. I still remember Scarlett, Palmer, Don Corneo, Aerith's mother, and countless other characters. The expansion adds so many useless characters with stupid outfits who don't even remotely impact the narrative.
7. MOTHER. FUCKING. GENESIS. Who is based off a Japanese pop singer. Fuck. Off.

You summed up exactly why I really dislike the Compilation of FF7.
ESPECIALLY STUPID GENESIS. UGH. The way his character was implemented felt like something Marvel or DC would asspull. And that's not a compliment.
