I understand why people get excited about the size file but let's not get too ahead of ourselves here. This is still 100 GB without patch so I can safely assume Sqaure Enix does the bare minimum in optimization here :P

Why do you care ? You don't have a PS4

Maybe he is worried that it will need 10 carts on Switch or that the HDD won't allow to install it.

Ahhh yes. Didn't think of that. Yes it's problematic.

Things will only get bigger. Next gen most games will surpass 50-60GB easily and some of them will hit the 200 GB mark. Requiring 2 100GB BD discs.

Not even close. As usual, only a handfull of games will have huge file sizes.

Honestly I'm kinda surprise it took this long for more games to get this big. This is going to be the new norm I think.

Don’t care. I have a 4TB hard drive.

Love the games with a lot of details!!

I have a 10TB Hard Drive and it's only got 30% space left.

Since PS5 supposedly only has a 1TB SSD, I'm not sure the leap will be that big.

In fact, since we'll get the option to chose which parts of a game we want to install, and un-install after we are done with them (remove the single player mode and only keep the multiplayer mode for example), disc space management may become less of a hassle.

Next-gen could remain static with it's file sizes.
Audio and Video encoding has improved substantially over the last few years thanks to the likes of HEVC. - Which the current base Xbox One and Playstation 4 generally cannot decode natively within hardware, but next-gen should. (VP9 and H.265/HEVC.) - That could reduce video and audio file sizes by 50% or more at the same quality.

And of course games will still come via Physical on Blu-Ray.

Plus... We don't know how large the SSD on next-gen consoles is, it may only be 500GB for a base variant with a 1 Terabyte variant as a higher tier.

Seems as though a lot of the world, textures, sounds and effects that will later be used may end up being on this first instalment.

100gb for just the first instalment with no additional patches? Something seems up.

Hopefully I'm wrong and it's legitimately a full game in size and scope.

Not like there's no way to circumvent this issue but at this rate, internal storage capacity has become more and more meaningless because of devs not making an actual effort to downsize their files to accomodate with the limited capacity of console.

And you know that how exactly ? You are a developper ? You're an inside source ?

Many devs are probably actually trying to "effort" to downsize their files. They know better. When you see 4K movies are 50Go or 100Go, it's not hard to understand the size of a game with many 4K cinematic in it.

Some people need to stop dissing developpers without knowing anything about their work.

the beliefs that the game is lacking optimization is untrue.
