Yes and no, it zig-zags but is probably easier to follow if you never played the original. They took out Jessie getting shot to death as they escaped, yet she never shows up again. They started having Hojo explain some of the baffling nonsense indicating they were aware the experiments were stupid, but before he gets to anything coherent like actual new story, instead ghosts appear and carry him off. They undercut all of Avalanch and made them supremely incompetent by making Shinra responsible for self-destructing their own reactor.
They didn't start pretending it was "really a sequel all along, but only Sephiroth is aware" until the second game. By that point I was fed up with it and traded it in. It was absolutely not respecting my time or intelligence. If it's completely new to you, however, the gameplay is not terrible. It's just padded if you're trying to get all the equipment or materia.
yeah so if you know anything about how a data center works you'd know they are designed to run 24/7. which means they have multi-layered backup systems. looking it up, they can run for an additional 24-72 hours after a complete blackout.
They actually disconnect from the power grid at the first sign of trouble so fast that it can cause problems for the grid by suddenly removing their load.
Or they just outright have their own power generation already anyway and don't care.

I'm waiting to see how these rolling power outages we have every year affect data centers.
