It’s a fukkin remake stop the bullshyt.Breh, you can keep leaning on the the name being "Remake" all you want, but they start letting you know pretty early on in the game that it's not just a remake, and is instead something different entirely. The main subplot is about the main characters realizing that they're creating a divergent timeline where the events of the original game don't play out as originally intended.
They just thought they were being clever with calling it "Remake" to give the plot a little bit of extra punch.
Things that were only implied or happened off screen in the original are fleshed out and they kinda hinted at a narrative reason for the discrepancies, but it’s a damn remake.
Nobody calling it a “sequel” but you weirdos looking for something to stan.
Stop it.
