And all of that time was quality entertainment. The original never made me feel the way I felt during the plate collapse. Never gave me more than a slight chuckle at fighting "hell house" in random encounter #3415. They never made the characters real, enjoyable, living beings. They never made me check myself and consider, more than a brief moment, whether it was right for Avalanche to blow up the reactors. I never cared for Wedge, Biggs, or Jessie. Hell, I laughed when Wedge fell off the tower in OG ff7.
