“In Final Fantasy VII Remake, we rebuilt the original game using the latest technology, but we felt that it should not stop at the technical side and we needed to update the story content being shown in line with modern sensibilities,” Toriyama told The Gamer.
They can’t even remake a classic without making it retarded
Honestly, with the exception of Barrett's entire existence I can't even think of something that would fall afoul of modern sensibilities. Tifa's boobs are already gone.
Or, you can play the game, but there will be only one female romanceable partner, and no male ones, and everyone in the game arbitrarily picks random gendering for your character where applicable in their speech.
After all, it should reflect our modern reality, and isn't that the real hardships they would experience? We can't erase our non-binary peoples' lived experiences by pretending their lives are sunshine and rainbows, can we?
I personally wouldn't mind this if I didn't know about the absolutely demonic evil that follows immediately behind "we just want to get married :)" now.
companies selling out for money. There's a reason why the Samurai hated the merchant class. Square Enix recently said "the Japanese market isnt enough for them now" they probably got these ideas from the American side of Square Enix and the localizers who told them "this would be popular " and also ESG points. .

"Shut up woman and drink your goddamn tea!". - Cid is probably "objectionable".
Yuffie's entire plotline is circled around the fact she's a greedy bastard. - They'd probably object to that too.
Reno and Rude are just close coworkers, they aren't gay. - That's probably objectionable to "modern sensibilities".
Chocobo racing - PETA
Aerith - "Fridging" women is wrong.
Sephiroth - Uses Jewish depictions of angels in his design but isn't 100% faithful to them.
SHIN-RA switches to "reasonable and sustainable energy sources" such as Oil. - Green parties.
Cosmo Canyon - Native groups didn't get their residual checks.
Elena gets far less screentime than any of the other Turks - Feminism.
The term "Turks" for "affable villain group", for that matter - Armenians, Turkish.
That's just off the top of my head. Nothing is pure enough that "modern sensibilities" will be satisfied, if they don't want to be.

Male / Female / It
I stopped giving SE money when they went after the Chrono Trigger fan projects; this is just a fart in the wind.

What'd be nice is if devs created a "Non-binary" option, and if you select the option, it quits and deletes the game
