You're probably right. The combat in VII:R should be good.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake: all parts will have the size of a full game
- Thread starter Nibel
- Start date

If they do each disk as one episode the lack of value in part 3 will be agonizing.
He's the reason why that game can't be releasedThe world needs a new hero.

Crisis Core will end up getting referenced. We'll probably get Zack included in the Nibelheim flashback and for a flashback of his death. The only other character I could see getting added is Cissnei.
when's genesis tho

Yeah. Which could be cool, we'll have to see. I fully expect characters like Jessie, Biggs, and Wedge and others are probably going to get more screentime than before.

What if they make Genesis a good character this time around
I also think so. The remake already includes the redesigned SOLDIER symbol from the Compilation. And it seems like the Buster Sword has the Compilation design underneath the metal protection in the hilt.

Only reason Golden Sun was two games was because the GBA carts were too small. I doubt size of bluray is the reason for the here.
A lot of people aren't getting this part.
It's not that it's impossible as far as data size goes, it's impossible for the budget it would require for a single game. They aren't willing to spend as much money as necessary to create a faithful modern reproduction of FFVII and then sell it for $60, because they don't think it would ever be able to pay off for them.
So they had these choices:
1) Cut a lot of playable content, and make it more like a Naruto story mode than a faithful reproduction of FFVII. Release it for $60
2) Split the same project that had a ridiculous budget for a $60 game into 3(?) $60 games. There is absolutely no contradiction in thinking the same budget can be too big for one game but ok for three.
I didn't like the news that it's gonna be episodic either, but it most definitely makes sense.
What is wrong with you? She's such a good waifu.
In regular FFVII you can be outta Midgar in about 3 hours if ya really hustle so even with extra content I really dun see "Vol.1" being Midgar-only. A good first stopping point might be after ya get on the boat to cross the sea. But even then that feels light on content since the entire first continent of the game consists of Midgar, Kalm, Nibelheim (via flashback), Chocobo Ranch, a cave, Fort Condor, a single room cave ya can't enter until later into the game, and Junon.
Vol.1 would prolly end well after the Temple of the Ancients with Cloud going nuts giving the Black Materia to Sephiroth. It would make for a pretty crazy To Be Continued wtf moment.

and we would be waiting until 2019/2020
If this means I can play VIIR in <2 years and not 4-5 then so be it.
I'm not entirely supportive of the strategy, but I think it's an interesting approach at least.
I mainly think it's weird that people are already assuming it's going to make The Witcher 3 feel like a pretty small game in comparison, or it's going to be butchered down into a linear cinematic story. It seems like people took in this new information and immediately decided to run waaaaay off field with it. Square Enix really boosts people's optimism/pessimism to crazy levels, lol.

Pretty sure the comparison has been made buuuut - I assume FFVII:R is gonna be like .Hack. Multiple games that tell a complete story, but each game is contained to such a way that each entry is satisfying.

I'll never forget how they completely fucked up the Sephiroth turning evil scene with this clown. "Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess." man shut the fuck up.

They've stated that Midgar has been expanded.
It took 3 hours in 1997 game design.
A 1:1 remake of the Midgar scenario at the standards shown would take much longer, even without the expansion.

Gackt ain't coming back. I doubt SE will even bother to bring him back. At best, we will see a redesigned Genesis.

Midgar will probably be bigger, it seems you have to really traverse it and have to fight the army there. Going to the reactor cores are probably going to be long levels on itself (with exploration). Plus I think there will be more back story for the cast, the Avalanche members seem to be more developed as well.
I think the Mithril Mine will be a bigger dungeon to conquer too. and other things like that.

i guess it all depends on what is a "full game" to square enix; I would mind if each game was 40-60 hours alone with additional content(mostly story related) i think it would be reasonable to pay $60 but hope it's less
if its just the original story just cut into pieces I'd be highly upest

Tell me one thing about Crisis Core that is worse than Genesis.

Keep in mind, Shu probably knows alot more about the game than we do.
Why not? They exist in the world. This is FF7 after all. They no sooner don't exist in the world then Sephiroth.
You can't just take away characters from the setting just because one doesn't like them.(I really enjoyed CC BTW)
I hate cait sith, he's still gonna be in the game.
Crisis core is the prequel to FF7, its gonna be represented in this game without a doubt, even if you don't want it to.

Why would I give them the benefit of the doubt after a generation of failure?

The real problem is how Gensis destroyed Sephiroth's story arc.
Cissnei is still irrelevant tho tbh. Didn't even remember she existed

Zack is in the original game in both of those respects. It doesn't really give him the spotlight or anything, but he's there. I see little reason he would get rejected after an entire game was dedicated to him.

I can't believe so many people are honestly defending Square Enix over this. It's absolutely mind boggling that a company that has fucked up so much over the last gen is getting this much defense over something that the company is obviously doing to milk Final Fantasy fans.

I can see it being much longer. You're not mashing through text boxes in this game. You're watching cutscenes. It would take a few seconds to get through most areas (screens) in the original. This is gonna be a fully realized Midgar that's also expanded upon. I can easily see it taking more then double the time easy to get through that and that's if they don't include any extra side quests and optional stuff to do. As for what Part 1 of FFVII:R will cover? No idea~
Because this is helmed by Nomura and not Toriyama. And that's ignoring the fact they've been hitting all the right notes and have been actively trying to satisfy their fans ever since the new President came in.

Why arent they milking FFXV?
There are no planned sequels, there is no paid DLC, and no microtransactions, can you explain that?
You take that back! CC and AC are great games! If a little hamfisted. Looking back on FF7 lore itself, it aint perfect.
I could do without all the ancients talk after all, but Aerith is directly related to them, so its gonna be apart of the world the same way Jenova is.

Yeah I'd prefer them not to cut content. But we really need some sort of confirmation whether they're planning to keep each episode independent from one another

Because they're just trying to shit that game out after it being in the pipeline and absorbing money for the past decade. I can imagine they just want to hurry up and move on. Or there will be a sequel, you never know
Uh, cause number one based on what we've seen so far it looks good.
And two...SE seems to understand atleast the concept of treating its core fans right under their new President.
Old SE that you reference would not be making a new FF7 to begin with, or any major games outside of mobile that we seem to be getting now.
So excuse me for giving them the benefit of a doubt.
