whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

 

[TheGamingBox]

am i the only one that doesnt really trust this? where did ign get this info from?

edit: oh, i see where they got it from

 

[Magwik]

Whatever helps them get the game out faster

 

[Lostconfused]

I am ok with this if they take like 2 years to make 1/4th of a game instead of just releasing all 4/4ths after 10 years.

 

[Yoshichan]

I'm done, I don't want to get banned so I'm bringing it to Twitter

 

[Yawnier]

Not even sure what to fully make of this. Seems a bit vague

 

[Rajang]

...

 

[Prompto]

Not liking the sound of that

 

[Andrefpvs]

I wonder what this means for backtracking and the world map.

 

[jj984jj]

What?!?

 

[The Silver]

I didn't ask for this....

 

[Saint Anima]

Guess I'll wait for the "Complete Season".

That is, if it turns out good.

 

[xzeldax3]

I loved disc swapping, so this helps retain nostalgia.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

My faith in this industry is fucking gone.

 

[Akai__]

LMAO...

It was too good to be true

There's always a catch.

 

[Fate/Cipher]

 

[ntropy]

milking time!

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

That's really fucking funny.
Omg

 

[Kagari]

Before you guys go crazy, it's so they can release parts of it quicker.

 

[SDCowboy]

And just like, I go from crazy excited to no longer caring nearly as much. Shit.

 

[Some Nobody]

I'll accept this only if there's 3 eps and they stop where Disc 1, 2, and 3 did.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Question is, how are they dividing it?

If it's something like, end of Disc 1 is the end of an episode, end of Disc 2 is end of an episode, and the waits aren't that long, then sure, I guess.

Hmm... mixed thoughts but I'd need to know more. If done well it could be interesting, but...

Definitely a surprise to hear... almost certainly so they can get it done in a timely fashion though.

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

May as well make a point and click adventure game out of it, the final nail in the coffin of hope.

 

[wamberz1]

Good.

 

[viewtiful_dru]

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

man stfu, lmao

 

[Jonbo298]

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

We're going too meta at this rate.

 

[KZXcellent]

Sounds fine to me. I like the idea of them releasing it in episodes and getting it out earlier. Though I'm sure this post will drown in the sea of hatred.

 

[RK128]

I.....Its episodic?

Well, it means it comes out faster, I guess one cannot complain :l.

Considering the massive size of the original game, this must be a way to cover the expenses on the title; each part (10-14 hours long) being sold at 30-40 bucks, with each part having saves carrying over.

Maybe they are doing what they did during the PS1 era with different portions of the game being on disks, with each disk being solid on its own this time.

Regardless, they need to explain this to us. I could see people getting annoyed with this news :l.

 

[DNAbro]

Before you guys go crazy, it's so they can release parts of it quicker.

for more money?

 

[Matticers]

The only potential good thing about this is if it means the first part comes out fairly soon. Like 2016 soon.

 

[Breads]

And so it begins.

 

[EvilKatarn]

 

[Martylepiaf]

Well why not

 

[Aeana]

I guess that explains how they plan to cover the whole story. They'll use episode breaks to cut out parts of the world that would be too large and too time consuming/expensive to create.

 

[Paracelsus]

Told? Who wants to be told, I want the game with a set world map and the option to go back and forth any time I want (as soon as you get the Highwind that is). It needs to operate like the original, with whatever good or bad addition they have in mind, who in the hell needs a streamlined FFVII to relive anything?

 

[NetMapel]

Dream is dead ya'll. It was good to believe in a full FF7 remake while it lasted.

 

[Bunta]

 

[Rocketz]

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Exactly what I came to post.

This can't be right. It can't be.

 

[TraBuch]

The fuck is so difficult about just updating FF VII?

 

[Gunslinger]

That's it folks. That's how our dream ends. First the combat and now this......

 

[Napalm_Frank]

So that's why it looked to be so far along? lol

 

[BennyBlanco]

 

[Kriken]

So what? Like Disc 1, disc 2, disc 3 episodic or is this just some mistranslation similar to how people thought Star Fox Zero would be episodic?

 

[mackattk]

fuuuckkkkkkkkk. what a load of shit

 

[DooMAGE]

- No turn based combate
- No original music conposer
- episodic bullshit

They really screw this up.

 

[entremet]

I knew something was up.

This is a travesty, btw. Not a fan of episodic stuff for AAA stuff.

Especially for a fucking remake.

Jeez, SE.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Square i protected your ffxv release date

I took up for you making several different kh games om different platforms that stories all tie together.

I said ffvii remake gameplay was a nice refresher..

But this!!...not like this

 

[DarthWalden]

People will be angry about this but my suggestion to those people is just to wait for the entire season to be released.
