Eh, i think some people try too hard when they say CC's story was bad.
FF Crisis core's story was really good i thought. You can say you dislike Genesis all you want, but its really hyperbolic to the enth degree considering the actual quality in the game, to the gameplay, the soundtrack, the ending, and yes the characters. Cissnei i thought was a wonderful addition to the turks, that's why i thought they should have done more with her.
Also, i think your deluding yourself if you think they arent going to add major compilation elements to the game, they created the extended universe specifically to add things to what was already there.
I'd say a lot of people are probably going to be better off sticking to the original PS1 game, cause those ones arent going to be happy with what comes out whenever the remake debuts
