Sure on paper, but then you realize it SE, and they will find a way to fvck it up. It is one of the greatest RPGs, and I would hate for them to mess it up. Luckily for me FF7 is a good RPG, but not in my top 15.

Sure. In the mean time....
Vodka.
That's water...but yeah, this news sucks.
I wonder if they mean episodic, like the discs divided into two or three parts. That would be pretty cool and let us play it early on. First half being all the way to
and the second half being all the way up to the end. Or maybe I'm just being too optimistic. I'm sure I'll be fine with whatever they choose in the end.

Lol him and Ishida have exploded in the other thread.
You seem cool and level-headed about this.
Does this mean we shouldn't really worry ?
Any details to clarify what "told in multiple parts" means ?
I think hes having a break down, since Dark_Castle hasen't posted in a bit I think he climbed into a bottle of rooster

Just please have an overworld or something similar in scope for exploration and travel, and general free roam leveling or finding secrets, and I'm OK with this... Please have all saved characters, stats, items, materia, stabled chocobos, golden sauce stats, etc all transfer.... Just break it up like a disc switch in the original or something, and I will be OK with it

Hahaha it's more likely to be 5 hours than 20 hours, unless each chapter cost $40.
I'm not worried.
I think a lot of filler areas will be condensed into cutscenes, that opening you see in this trailer pretty much erases the playable break in portion. Really the only areas that need to be playable are once you get into the "Random Encounter" zone, or maybe right before that if they sell want to add in that phoenix down chest, or some other way to get that freebie.
I amnot either(or wasn't)
But are starting to raise some valid points about how this could be detrimental.
Idk.

I'm mot worried
At least splitting it means they're not cutting content
Now I'm more certain we will get a world map and everything

Why all the negative reactions to "multipart"? Do people think they will stop releasing episodes or something? I recently finished "Life is Strange", that game wasn't harmed by being episodic. Yes, it leaves some questions like late-game over world exploration, but there are people acting like just being episodic would be the end of the world, the game is no longer something to be excited about.
Someone said something about episodes being a year apart, but where are you getting that from? What recent games did that, that it's a valid concern? Square didn't say they are splitting it up due to development time but due to the size of the game's data. Meaning, they don't want to ship a 100GB game.

Square really needs to clarify on what is happening like how many episodes, how it won't eeffect game design etc.
Hopefully they won't wait till JF to talk about the elephant in the room.
When I saw episodic my gut hurt, but now it's sounding like it will become multiple full length games.
If the later is the case, I think we are actually getting something far better than a single entry remake. At this point my main concerns are on how they accomplish the baseline gameplay.

The only thing im mad about is the lack of information from SE, they should have known people were going to jump to conclusions and that hyperbole would spread like wildfire.
Pick one. >_>;
Yeah.
It was a bad way to reveal such a huge piece of info.You can't throw it out nonchalantly like that without clarity.
Indeed. I'm still hoping this is a misunderstanding.
Either way, clarification is needed asap.

I think the whole point of this is that the budget will be so large they cant make their money back just from 60 dollars.
If people want to be fickle and irrational then that's really on themselves, not Square-Enix.
There are press interviews coming, hopefully with some decent information.

lmao that sucks. What a joke to wait until 2 days later to bring it up.
Yeah, you can just be vague with something like this specially since we know FF7.
Making it into a multi game series raises alot of questions:
Whats in one episode?
How much will be covered?
How many episodes?
Open world or linear?
Will the entire remake stretch beyond the original game like have advent children playable?
Will parts from the other media like before and or crisis core be playable withen the remake?

So Schreier just tweeted this.
Sorry if late to the party. Searched for episodic and didn't see anything like this.

Oh, hell. I did not expect to have my suspicions confirmed so soon. I guess something about how they've only shown the early parts of the game so far lead me to think that might be a possibility. I just hope this doesn't mean they've cut out overworld exploration in favor of a bunch of loosely connected chapters.

Wait, this is going to be episodic? What?
To be fair, I bet SE doesn't even know the answers to some of those questions, right now.
Good to know.
True I just trying to think of questions fans would ask.
I have some faith in how they will handle this, its going to be intresting.
I'm not sure. I mean I think we'd all want some huge FF7 level game in one package but with the way game development has changed it just doesn't seem feasible to have the level of graphics they're targeting with the game as well as being faithful to FF7. I actually didn't play FF7 until a few years ago, and I was still impressed at how much is in the game.
Personally I think there's a lot that can be done with episodic games that hasn't been done yet, and I'm hopeful this project can be innovative in that regard.

That sounds better than episodes. If this is how it needs to be so that stuff doesn't get cut out then I guess I'm okay with it.

What if the budget of the game is so large that they cant make their money back just from a 60 dollar purchase?
Since FFVIII? Dear god, it's been nearly 20 years, It's taken that long for you?
I don't think you understand. The whole game is too big for Square Enix to make all at once, I wouldn't expect them to expand any part of it.
At first I thought wow, the impact of finishing Midgar and getting to the world map for the first time is going to be greatly diminished if the first episode ends there. Now I'm wondering if there will even be a world map and will the game just be linear.
To me the different levels of abstraction (ie: battle, town/dungeon, and world map) are what defines JRPGs of that era (the only era I'm really familiar with TBH) and not having the sense of scale and freedom you get from a world map would really kill my interest in this game.
