This was not something I wanted to wake up to, but thank you Basil for giving full info. The way I see it, this will work almost exactly like the original FF7 did being on three discs (although this will unfortunately not be a multi-disc release; a dumb idea imo). Thus you can visit every area in the game in every episode, but some story events/cutscenes etc are only available in singular episodes. This is probably the reason why the game is being split up; cutscenes that is, not to mention the different animations (Knights of the Round Table anyone? LOL) |
Yeah - it seems like they are doing this so they wont get the whole "You took 10 years to make" argument with FFXV lol.
I'm 50/50 on this - on one hand its great we'll get to experience FFVII sooner than later but at the same time disappointed that I wont be able to experience the full game until later.

So the episodic format can actually be pretty cool, just not what people expected or necessarily wanted.
I think providing room to really expand upon the narrative explore places like Midgar in way the structure of the previous game simply didn't allow will really seperate this from a tradional remake and give it more value IMO. Of course if they could fit all of that into one game then cool, but i personally don't think we'd see it finished before 2020 if they took that approach.
I hope each part of the experience is at least 25hrs of core narrative. 40+ hours with sidequests and what not. My only other things is that they must not go beyond a Trilogy. They still shouldn't keep everything in the game, but that parts that they do keep, they should go above and beyond when bringing it to life.
part 1-Fall 2017
part- Spring 2019
part 3-Fall 2020

Looks plausible but I think its gonna look like
2017 - first release
2018 - second release
2019 - third release
Assuming there's only 3 parts.
They also confirmed that they've been working on the game even before they announced the original Final Fantasy VII port to PS4 at the December 2014 PSX show last year. So its possible we'll see a 2017 release with the first part at least. Just wonder how many parts there's gonna be.
I can see the "Escape from Midgar" being one whole part as that is a pretty long segment and especially one where they can make it longer.

You think it will be a year between releases? I suppose that makes sense but it is so frustrating.
