>>split the game into 3 parts

Each part is a full game. Whether YOU wanted to see more of the world doesnt matter since many fans did.

>>take the better part of a decade to release all parts

Yes. Game development on AAA games in the 2020's takes time. The fact that they will likely produce 3 whole ass games within 7 years is pretty incredible.

>>charge full price for each part

Again, I stress the fact that they are full games ranging from 40-50 hours and even 100+ for Rebirth

>>bloat each part to mindnumbing levels in order to justify splitting the game up and charging full price for each part

You can call it bloat all you like. But making each location into a significant settlement with side quests, minigames, open world areas, and loads of distinct enemy types is exactly what I wanted

>>add in a bunch of alternate timeline/universe BS that ultimately leads nowhere

I wont even defend this as I agree its the weakest part of the Remakes as a whole but are usually sidelined to mostly the final chapter and short sporadic moments.

>>can't play as Red XIII, Vincent or Cid when you meet them, you'll just have to wait till the next part comes out :^)

There are currently 9(10) playable characters with their own complex set of moves, abilities, synergy attacks and dynamic playstyles in Rebirth. Its honestly impressive how complex the ARPG system is. I think you oughta learn some patience for 2 remaining playable characters

>Is it any wonder why FF fans seem increasingly past the honeymoon phase and are asking for a divorce

This isnt an arguement, just your lame opinion.

I'll never understand why people like you have to make it such a point to hate on something other people enjoy? If you dont like it, you shouldve known by the first game and removed yourself from the conversation.
