That is my point exactly, it was referred to as a multipart series of which each game will be on the scale of FFXIII so like a full game in itself.  I take episodic to mean small parts released in a relatively short timeframe which amount to one game.

Fifty percent effort between the two instead of one hundred percent effort into just once game... KH 3. That's a shame imo.

I'm taking it you didn't get to enjoy games back in the 90's and early 00's then? Because I remember getting FF games over and over again, really quickly and to top it off, they were legendarily great (FF1-10). I'd rather have that than... whatever they're doing now.

I mean, I haven't played Final Fantasy. But it's not like game production just came to a complete halt in the mid 2000's for the entire industry. A lot of franchises produced consistently good games. I've definitely experienced it, it's just interesting to see these long development times even if it's like watching the world burn. 

You guys need to understand, if they show more FFVIIR screenshots and footage it'll steal ALL the spotlight from their upcoming titles.

Nomura putting equal effort in both means he isn't able to concentrate on one. This comes off as a bad thing to me.
