>t's fucking gay that they made Cait Sith's betrayal and everyone's reaction to it a lot more lighthearted
Its a different context. In the original there really isnt much to cait sith as a character so that was THE moment to have some sort of development. He states that he doesnt understand avalanche because they try to save the world but they dont care about a reward. The narrative needed a reason for cait sith to keep up with the party so they forced this kidnapping, something barret would NEVER forget about, but the game never ever refers to it again, they dont do anything with it. Its clear it was just a narrative tool to keep cait sith around.
In the remake, this is not needed. Cait sith when he joins he asks questions to the party, trying to earn their trust. Barret and yuffie specially keep questioning him like "im sure you a traitor" and stuff. Cait sith learns about what avalanche is going through so despite his job, he has a change of heart. The party as well bond with cait sith and when the betrayal happens, they more are heartbroken than angry. they ACTUALLY trusted cait. And cait leaves the party, so no need for kidnapping. It isnt until he helps the party and begs for forgiveness when hes allowed to join, but the party still doesnt forget. As cloud says "im still pretty pissed, just got bigger fish to fry".
>it's fucking gay that Dyne grows an Akira arm and doesn't threaten Marlene or jump off a cliff
Different context. In the original he was crazy and just did crazy stuff. In rebirth hes more focused, he mourns his family and blames barret/shinra for everything and doesnt let him get closure. He still dies a suicidal violent way and his interactions with barret were heartbreaking.
>and it's fucking gay that Cid is a completely different character now.
Rocket town is the only moment wheres hes "angry". Now he has his tiny bronco, hes flying, hes doing stuff, hes not passive in rocket town. Makes sense. Hes not a one not angry character.
