So uncharted and many others are episodic as well because they needed more than 1 game to tell the story?

If Uncharted 1 was remastered on the ps5, and broken up into 5 parts.  Yes, those parts would be individual episodes, because all 5 parts would be needed to tell Uncharted 1's story.  And from a story perspective, Uncharted 1 tells a complete story.  Yes Uncharted's story is expanded via 2/3/4, but that doesn't mean Uncharted 1's story is incomplete.    

Look, I grew up playing FFVII.  I wouldn't be shocked if I have beaten the game 12 times.  Through Midgar isn't a complete story, it just isn't.  Thus, it is an episode, because it is one piece of many that will be required to FFVII's story. 

If I make an apple pie, cut it into 8 pieces.....  claim those 8 pieces are all full individual pies...  I guess many here would believe me.  

Edit

And while FFVII Remake looks amazing, I am concerned about all the extra content.  I don't see how they are going to make Midgar 40 hours.  40 hours doing what?  Midgar is maybe 5 hours in FFVII.  

If the how many parts of FF VII remake tells each a complete story you wouldn't now without knowing the original.

What to say the 6 Uncharted (Golden Abyss and Lost Legacy are also part) isn't a single story broken down to each game?

You may have played FF VII 100 times, you haven't played the remake to know if it will or not be a full story on the first part. Also plenty of games have been unfinished the way they release but aren't considered episoidic.

If the game is 1-4h by all means call it an episode, but if it is 12-40h it is well within industry average so not an episode to keep clean on how usually they are called.
