I'm hoping it isn't as bad as it seems, but I'm really not digging what I'm hearing from Square regarding FFVII:R. First there's the changes in the combat which push it towards what appears to be more like an action RPG. And now it's going to be broken into chunks, which also entails a digital-only release. All that's left is for them to eliminate the overworld and it'll be FFVII only in the sense of having the same characters, setting, and story. This is almost like if the next Zelda game were some Skyrim or Diablo clone.
When I first saw the FFVII remake announced, like everyone else I was super-excited, but every new bit of news I hear makes me less excited. I wouldn't have guessed "remake" meant throwing out everything that wasn't story-related. It really should have just been FFVII with modern-day graphics. |
I don't think it will be digital only. They said they could not fit the whole game in one release so that means one episode is literally as big as one entire game. It will not be like the walking dead or life is strange. Also read the latest interviews and info. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1152062

Don't mistake GB size for a large amount of game. Assets can take up a huge amount of space these days. The fact that Uncharted 4 will fit on a single Bluray disc must have taken a bit of work on part of Naughty Dog, and that's just with what will probably be about a 10 hour single player campaign and a multiplayer mode.
Nomura could go crazy expanding Midgar for example and make the one town take up 20GB on its own, if not more, with a ridiculous level of detail. I really don't doubt Nomura's ability to screw this up horribly, prioritizing pretty over the actual game content itself.
