EDIT: Confirmation and details from WSJ reporter:

 

[sleazedroid]

I guess things did seem too good to be true.

 

[Kagari]

And there it is.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Hahahahah what

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Before even clicking this...what?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Fuck

 

[Yoshichan]

Wait, hold the fuck up

 

[DNAbro]

Yeah that is unexpected

 

[LuuKyK]

Uhm, thats weird. But maybe they are doing that so that they can launch it earlier?

Not sure how to feel about this anyway. Leaning towards "bad news" status.

 

[Arxisz]

wat

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Not sure if that makes it better or worse. Knowing Enix, it'll be 2027 before the last episode is released, on PS6.

 

[Ambition]

 

[Gaz_RB]

Whhhhhaaaattttttt??? FF7R-2,-3?

 

[injurai]

Played like a fiddle.

 

[BatDan]

I knew it was too good to be true!

 

[iosefe]

Calling it now, 3 parts, one per disc

 

[Brainfreeze]

Never put 100% faith into Square.

 

[t0rment]

Fuck

.

 

[AmuroChan]

I don't know how I feel about this, but at least that means we can realistically expect part 1 by the end of 2016?

 

[KingBroly]

Remember when Wada said it'd take 10 years to do an FF7 remake?


Well...

 

[wonzo]

lmao

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I thought that meant FF7 remake will be one game but there will be more prequel stuff and post-ff7 stuff that will come out as well. It's not just a one-off. But that's maybe just me.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Understandable if they don't want to release by 2020.

 

[kai3345]

my stop on the hype train gets off here i guess

 

[LouisaFerre]

Lol, what sense does that make

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

The original was episodic too there was multiple discs. Now the disc have gone digital.

 

[Nibel]

It was too good to be true

 

[GAMERG0D]

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So part one could come out next year if it was ready if they wanted to.

It won't be a full package at first...

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Probably not a bad thing if they can get it out quicker

 

[Skux]

Recreating the feeling of separate discs for the new generation.

 

[Byronic Hero]

There had to be a catch. Damn.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

god damn it

 

[cirrhosis]

Lol, I knew they'd fuck this up somehow. Par for the course these days.

 

[Courage]

bahahahaha

is this gonna be a new trend?

 

[Eggbok]

 

[FTF]

Uhh, what???

And there it is.

 

[Gunslinger]

Pack it up folks. First the combat and now this crap. It was too good you knew it don't act surprised. Well...

you still have the original.

 

[Vazra]

Lmao why the fuck? Here to watch the fumes.

 

[Mellahan]

....so, anyone willing to wait for the inevitable "complete" edition?

 

[E-Cat]

vat

 

[stan423321]

Oh boy. This is going to be a nice thread, isn't it? Preparing nonexistant popcorn.

It must be a weird time to be a FF fan for you all.

 

[Xevren]

The fuck?

 

[Chobel]

Fuck

 

[Tamanon]

I'm.....actually okay with that. I can definitely see how the episodes can play out, and it lets them get the content out quicker. Weird, but alright in my book.

[ElTorro]

[SomedayTheFire]
