I do believe that Kitase has been the real problem after all. I could sense this in that one Lightning Returns video where he desperately tries to pass the game off as good in some very abstract tone.
They're really fucking up the marketing on this. They mentioned FF13 very strongly associated with this game and that's going to cost them.
I don't think they realize that FF7 is meant to be pretty much just for the story as one playthrough. How many FF fans are going to care to grind or do endless fetch quests in each disc? One of the great design qualities about FF7 was that it didn't require you to grind much and you could progress through the story at a nice pacing. Then there's the cost of each disc, and then there's the fact that the game is having a completely redesigned and probably divisive battle system.
This really couldn't get more divisive...unless they say they're going to redo the main story elements as well which will be the final divisive nail. It's like they're trying to be "as different" as possible or some shit.
Jesus. Jesus! Where are you? Oh he's in my cup.
Edit: "Whereas with Final Fantasy VII Remake, we already have a preexisting story, so it wouldn't really make sense if that isn't encompassed in a multi-part series... So if we're just looking at each of these parts, one part should be on par with the scale of one Final Fantasy XIII game."
No, it would make too much sense to make it one game Kitase. That's hard for you.
