The main differences could be in the acting styles, the way the scenes are shot, or some tweaks to the plot to make it more relevant to the current times. But the basic themes and the spirit of Christmas would still be there.
The story in FF7 Original was a classic. It had a clear beginning, middle, and end. But the FF7 Remake takes that foundation and builds on it. In the Remake, we see more of Midgar than we did in the original. There are new side quests that add to the lore and character backstories. The relationship between Cloud and the other characters, like Tifa and Barret, is explored in more detail. Also, the Remake adds some elements that seem to be setting up for a much larger and different story arc in the future installments, which is really exciting for fans who have been following the series for a long time.
One major difference is the expansion of characters. In the FF7 Remake, some minor characters in the original story get more in - depth development and backstories. For example, Jessie's character is much more fleshed out. Another difference is the pacing. The remake has a somewhat different pacing which allows for more exploration of Midgar compared to the original where the Midgar section was relatively quicker. Also, the remake leaves some hints and changes that seem to be leading to a different overall plot direction in future installments, while the original story was more straightforward in its narrative arc.
In the remake, the graphics are much more detailed. For example, the Raccoon City Police Department looks more realistic. Also, some character relationships are developed further. Claire's story has more depth in the remake.
The character development also varies. In the original story, Jill Valentine had a different set of interactions and her character arc was spread out more. In the remake, her character development is more condensed but still focuses on her being a strong survivor. Also, the role of Nemesis in the remake is a bit different. He seems more menacing and has some new attack patterns compared to the original.
The Dead Space Remake and the original story have several differences. Firstly, the remake modernizes the gameplay mechanics which in turn has an impact on how the story unfolds. In the original, the controls were a bit more clunky. Secondly, the visual design of the environments in the remake is more detailed. This not only makes it scarier but also adds to the overall atmosphere of the story. For instance, the Ishimura ship looks more decrepit and menacing in the remake. Additionally, the remake delves deeper into the psychological aspects of Isaac's character. His hallucinations and mental state are more pronounced, which gives a different dimension to the story compared to the original.
Well, in the original story, the pacing was more straightforward. However, in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, the pacing is adjusted. Some events are elongated and new side quests are added. This gives players more time to explore the world and understand the characters better. The Remake also changes some of the minor plot points to enhance the overall narrative experience.
The new version might have updated visuals and maybe a modern twist in the storytelling. But the core Christmas spirit remains the same.
The FFVII Remake and the original story have differences in the way they present the world. The original had a more basic, yet charming, way of showing the world of Midgar and the larger world of FFVII. The remake, on the other hand, has much more detailed graphics and environments. This affects the story as it makes the events seem more immersive. In terms of the main story arc, while the overall goal of stopping Sephiroth is the same, the journey to get there has been modified. The remake adds more side quests and interactions that give more context to the characters and their relationships within the story.
In the original, the pigs are clearly the good guys. They build their houses and the wolf is just a menacing intruder. But in the dark story, as I said before, the pigs might have done something wrong first. Also, the ending in the original is that the pigs are safe and the wolf is defeated. In the dark version, it could be that the wolf has a more sympathetic backstory or the pigs don't necessarily win in the end.
There could be cultural differences in how Christmas is celebrated and depicted. In the West, it's often more traditional, while in China, it might have a modern twist.
