I feel like something like this should've been disclosed from the start. Or at least when something like this is revealed it needs to be properly explained IMMEDIATELY and not just mentioned as an after-thought in a press release. -_-

 

[Zyrox]

Well, that thread title was quite a gut punch. Of course there had to be some sort of catch. If it sounds too good to be true....

I hope that the episodes will at least be priced accordingly.

 

[mileS]

Snowboarding section will be its own game.

 

[Yoshichan]

Distasteful, shameful, disgusting and inappropriate by Square.

As an individual, I feel humiliated, ashamed, betrayed and fucked.

Thank you. Thank you Square.

 

[kitchenmotors]

You know what this means?

The ultimate cluster fuck.... NO overworld. It's going to be gutted and streamlined. An overworld wouldn't make sense for the episodic nature.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Well XV is going nowhere fast, and this will be milked to the fullest extreme.

I was a damn fool to trust Square.

 

[TheGamingBox]

It's in an official SE press release.

it says multi part series, which could mean many things

 

[Toparaman]

As long as each episode is good and priced reasonably, I don't mind. Hell, it would actually be nice to not have to wait as long, and to have a break every 10-30 hours so as not to get burnt out like I did with the original (and most RPGs for that matter). As long as each episode is at least 10 hours it sounds good to me.

Honestly I was wondering how a game with so many completely different environments and scenarios would be possible with modern production values, and I guess now we have the answer.

 

[manipulate]

WHAT



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO



EDIT: If this means no locational travel, then.....(((((((((((((((((((((((((((

[TheDinoman]

Talk about a way to crash the hype train, geez.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Get ready to have Wutai and the Ancient Forest as optional season pass DLC!

 

[PhillipCostigan]

You forgot to add a framerate seemingly worse than the original

please, this game is at least a year off. bringing framerate up based on the first gameplay trailer...

smh

 

[DR2K]

Wow. This was sounding too good to be true.

 

[vilmer_]

Embrace the digital future.

 

[Gandalf]

What the fuck?

Maybe the episodes will contain stuff from the main game, Crisis Core, Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus? Just a guess.

 

[LuuKyK]

Distasteful, shameful, disgusting and inappropriate by Square.

As an individual, I feel humiliated, ashamed, betrayed and fucked.

Thank you. Thank you Square.

lol Yoshi, stop being dramatic.

 

[Bisnic]

4 parts game. 60$(or 80$ CAN) each parts. 240$(320$ CAN) for the full experience.

Oh yeah.

 

[Primethius]

Nah man this Shit is retarded. Square Enix should cancel this game ASAP. No need to butcher this game any further. Sad thing is people will buy it too. man what a freaking train wreck this FFVII remake business has been. Nomura and entire square enix is just money grubbing idiot IMO. Maybe they will make a good game again in another 50 years when they are at the verge of bankruptcy. Oh well this just makes me super sad. I never even curse on these posts but this news made me do it. Shame on SE

Holy fucking shit.

This thread got real stupid, real quick.

 

[Diddy Kong]

God damnit

 

[Curufinwe]

After seeing how detailed everything was, this doesn't surprise me at all. Did people really expect a complete recreation of FF7 in its entirity with that fidelity? The number of man hours required for that many assets would be astronomical.

Irrational people did.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

From the press release.
http://press.na.square-enix.com/rel...ii-remake-showcased-at-playstation-experience



Is it possible that it could mean VII-2 and VII-3?

Hmm... good point. It doesn't strictly say it's an episodic game.

There's not really a lot to go off of right now.

 

[LewieP]

Episodic is fine, but if they want people to have confidence in that structure, they should announce a full release schedule before the first episode comes out.

"Here is episode 1, we have no idea how many episodes there will be, or when they will release" would not inspire confidence.

But I suspect the reason they'd do it episodically is because the entire thing is no way near finished and they have no idea when it will be.

 

[Data West]

'30 Golden Saucer Play Coins 9.99 special deal!!!'

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

This entire FF7R event has been people losing their shit multiple times across a year for different reasons and its been amazing

 

[The Last One]

I feel bad for this gif again. Seriously.

 

[Ceravic]

This...basically ruins it. How fucking stupid. Way to completely destroy any hype I had for this. I've defended you so much lately, Square Enix. What a fucking joke.

 

[Oersted]

this is exactly what SE has been waiting for...

They finally have their cash cow front and center and you bet your goddamn butts that they will milk it for every cent possible.

Final Fantasy (now the most ironic name in history) is already milked into oblivion, esp FF7, but they do find even more ways to milk. There should be an award for this.

 

[Styles]

I knew there had to be catch. Much more excited for ffxv.

 

[Gunslinger]

lol Yoshi, stop being dramatic.

Hes right though.

 

[E-Cat]

After seeing how detailed everything was, this doesn't surprise me at all. Did people really expect a complete recreation of FF7 in its entirity with that fidelity?

I guess they did, which was part of the reason for all the excitement. So much for that.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

We barely have any details.
This thread is embarrassing

 

[SDCowboy]

How long will each part be is the real question. And how often will parts be released?

And that right there is the key. If there are like three, 12+ hour episodes, and they come out every six months or so, ok.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

Things that ran through my head

Episodic, focused character based chapters, linear, no access to entire world map, likely some Golden Saucer (real money) credit system, no more random side missions.

DLC missions.

All of our industry support for shit over ten years led to this.

 

[Laputa_94]

My mind is trying to process this. Now I don't think its the end of days, but I'm less sure about this game now.

 

[Radec]

So they are probably dividing disks 1 to 3 into 3 releases. All are full priced.

Fuck.

 

[BumRush]

We have no idea what this means yet though

 

[StrawberryJam]

I am suddenly no longer interested.

 

[wamberz1]

Season one (Midgar) - 40$

Episode 1 - Midgar first half

Episode 2 - Midgar second half

Season 2 - 80$

Contains 5 episodes

Etc Etc

Spoiler

Look deep into your heart, you know it's true. Their gonna milk this shit dry.

 

[botty]

In a way... Final Fantasy 7 was always episodic.

 

[Immaculate]

lol

 

[MayMay]

Where does it say episodic again?

Multi-part series could mean anything, even a FFVII-2

 

[CambriaRising]

Hes right though.

Nah, you both need to chill the fuck out.

 

[Skab]

Wait, hold the fuck up

.

 

[sn00zer]

You forgot to add a framerate seemingly worse than the original

dont complain about framerate prior to release you will look silly

 

[somecrazymember]

I'm laughing so hard at people saying 'I'm out' .. Jesus people, just wait for the finished product before judging shit.

 

[BennyBlanco]

First Hitman now this.

Fuck off Square.

 

[Chase17]

welp

 

[Zetta]

It was too good to be true huh?. Gotta milk that cow as much as possible.

 

[Yawnier]

At least we should get the first part sometime in the next 3 years (lol)

But we might not get the full remake of however many parts for like another 6 or 7 years from now if it is going to take them like 2 years to make a single episode, lmao.
