That's why it's called an opinion. I think the story pacing is garbage compared to the original. Introducing Sephiroth into the beginning of the game made zero sense, and then fighting him as one of the bosses really took away from the mystery of what made the original reveal of him as the real villain all that much better.

And the whispers were an absolute stupid choice to put into the game.

The endgame Sephiroth fight was definitely forced. It reeked of "well, he's been the secret antagonist all game, so we can't just disclude him from the finale" kind of thinking.

I liked the more persistent villain lurking in Cloud's broken mind, but they shouldn't have felt the need to try and put a pseudo capstone on that story thread.
