It is episodic. There is no doubt about it. They are chopping the full story of the original into parts. This isnt at all the same as FFXIII-2 and FFX-2. Those were sequals.

The FF7 episodes won't be contained stories. They will be abrupt cliffhanger ending episodes. The one where Aerith dies is going to be particularly revolting, because it will lose the feels the original had after you had to continue the adventure after the dramatic event. Now you get a year or so in between. When you start again, the feels will be long gone. 

No matter how i look at it, i understand their problem, but the remake is already setting itself for a fail to capture the feel of the original. But well... i guess one can wait until they are all out and then play them back to back.

 

Them ending the game in the aeris death part would be the perfect place for them to end the first part, my fear is that they will end first part at the end of midgar and game will be like 15 hours long and that would be absulut garbage.

 

FF7 is fucking huge and its a linear game if you think about it, only in disc 2 you can start to do some extra shit from the story, imagine how long would be if they did this game complete in todays standarts. I would take ages to make and you would probably have like a 300 hours game.

I am almost at the end of disc 1 , i will beat disc 1 in 30 hours and i barely stopped  in world map to do some battles, imagine if this on today tech, with a open world map like ff 15 but smaler , instead of chat boxes full dialogue scenes and adding to that more info on characters. FF7 is fucking great but it was made ages ago, i am at end of disc one and i barely talk and know the characters, i used vincent like 2 times, he had like 1 minute of dialogue and same with Cid. I want to know way better these characters and now they can do that. The game had to be cut and separated to do this.

 

My only fear is they make more than 3 parts , 2 would be amazing, it would be perfect.

 

Once again i say this, you want the same  game with only good graphics ? why? play the old game on pc or ps4, i am playing and i am having a blast, i want more i will have more this way.

 

Though if that is what they did(just graphid upgrade and other enhancements), i would be fine with it. Don't act like that is not the proper way to make a remake. RE remake is just that and is loved by gaming communities at large besides the dumb "tank controls" criticism.

Square is taking a new road. Wether its better or not remains to be seen, but regardless of that, it will never be able to emulate the experience of the original, so, as a remake it has already failed. Doesnt mean it can't be a decent game though.

Oh and no doubt the first part will be just midgar. Also, Vincent and Yuffie are bonus characters (they would be sold as DLC these days). So, thats why they arent an integral part of tge story.
