Okay, the fortunate reality though is that back in 1997 Squaresoft could have sent you Disc 1 and then in a year disc 2 and so on. This game is still essentially separated like the only version. They can't fit it all on one disc. So instead of making you wait into 2025 when it's all complete, they're giving you the first part (let's cross our fingers for 2019).

They're not giving you anything, they're making you pay full price for each individual part. The original FF7 wasn't 3 times the price of a standard game because it had 3 discs... so why is this?

Because this is 3 games.  FF7 was only 1 game.  Seems simple.

Okay, good point. You good got me there. I personally would hope that they don't charge $59.99 for part 2 and 3. Maybe part 2 and 3 will work similarly to Square-Enix's Life is Strange. You know I'm curious how they do it in the end. However they do it, I just hope they're fair to customers.

Yeah... that's the issue people have. That they're releasing it as 3 games and charging people for it 3 times, it is simple so I don't know why somebody would try and compare it to the original FF7 being on 3 discs which you only had to buy once...

Yeah, I don't know what everyone's problem is.  They's already said that this will be 3 full sized games.  Just because the story previously spanned 1 game doesn't mean we're paying 3 times the price for a game of the original's length.

The people that wait for the inevitable complete edition won't be, no. Everybody else however...

And neither will everyone else.  You're missing my point.  You're paying 180 dollars for 3 full games.  That's what I'm getting at.  This isn't 180 for a game the same length as the original FF7.

I think the truth is somewhere between both points of views. They're probably going to add content to each episode to increase the length of play from what they used to be on PS1 but I'd say that calling every episode a full game is stretching it.

What you got in PS1 was a complete game with a complete story arc and it had sizable end-game content. The game provided 50-90 hours of gameplay depending on how many sidequests and leveling up you did. We're obviously not going to get that kind of experience from every episode so I don't buy into the 3 full games narrative.

We won't know the truth till all three games come out, but I can only go by what Square-Enix is saying.  And what they're saying is that this is 3 full length games.  If they don't make good on that claim, then fine.  But as it stands right now, we have no reason to believe otherwise.
