Why are Expanded Universes always shit? I can't think of single example of where alloying outside talent to touch an IP and "expand" it doesn't lead to a fucking disaster. FF7, Lovecraft, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc.
Case in point, FF7. Core game Reno is a cold blooded murderer that kills thousands of people. Even being responsible for one of the most badass on screen kills in the game. FF7 Advent Children and other EU content he's a carefree guy that serves as a comic relief lackey for Shinra. There's no excuse for this shit. Either respect the source material and write it as the original author intended or fuck off and create your own intellectual property.
