Ugghhh,I just finished FFVII Remake Ep I last night, and don't get me started on those - that was the only negative aspect of the Remake I saw, a completely unnecessary plot device that had no explanation or reason for being there! It was the only flaw in an otherwise highly polished and shining diamond.
So of course a hypothetical FFVII crossover event in FFXIV would naturally feature those... *rolls eyes*.
