Something like this is quite honestly no contest.

On the one hand SE could argue that it might damage their ability to use the IP in the future and it very well could if in the unlikely event that they show up SE with their own IP like with the whole 3d remake thing they had going before. It would have theoretically trumped the original in graphics, gameplay, etc.

On the other hand, it is fan-fiction and honestly, probably, harmless.

However, douche move or not fanfiction kinda violates three tenants of copyright, Reproduction, Adaptation (i.e. creation of derivative work i.e. to the i.e FANFICTION), and Distribution to the public.

In short, they have a right to protect their characters like rabid dogs fighting over a bone. They aren't wrong, no matter what the internet's culture of self entitlement says.

I might also add that if these guys are such hotshot game makers then why are they hacking a SNES rpg and not making the next proverbial Chrono Trigger.

...yeah, gonna have to agree with this guy.
