some interesting tibits from some articles

 

''Final Fantasy VII Remake isn’t the only Square Enix property making use of Unreal Engine 4. Both Kingdom Hearts III and Dragon Quest XI are also being made using Epic’s middleware. The Remake itself is set to be a massive project, with each entry will have its own unique story. As a gaming experience, each entry will have the volume of content equal to a full-sized game.

ok that part ''each entry will have its own unique story'' is worries me. How can every entry(episode) have its own unique story but tell the story of FF7 thats all ready known? its not making sense to me

Look at how much prominence the first act of FF7 had in the trailer. They didn't show anything beyond Midgar. Maybe they will show stuff later on, but perhaps this is a sign of what we'll get in the first episode.

Seems like they are going to beef up stuff by adding content, dialogue, character exposure (maybe a deeper look at the guys from AVALANCHE).

In other words, what previously took little time to complete will take more time now with content.

Maybe.
