Now this is one topic I do agree with you on. The approach that Square is taking with FF just isn't for me. Why couldn't they just do a solid remake off FFVII on a single disc and it would have been out by next year. By the way this is going we're not getting part 1 until 2019 at the earliest. And by then Sony will have probably released the PS5. Part 2 will probably come 2 years later in 2021 and then part 3 will be a dual release on PS5 and PS6. I'm telling you! I miss the Square that just delivered solid game releases in 1 part and they didn't milk the hell out of one game of an entire IP.
The only glimpse of hope for me is Armor Project which heads development of Dragon Quest main series titles. They put way less money into development, they spend about 3-4 years on a project, announce it in a timely fashion and release a quality product that makes its money back the first day on the market and then some. And gamers are pleased with that solid schedule of releases, at least I am.
Look, I understand Nomura has a thing for making exquisite experiences and to his credit, his work ends up being pretty amazing. But what we don't realize is Square is taking a more western approach to developing FF. They are aware that the west responds very well to their new direction of action based combat which is fine but for me, I'll stick with experiences that remind me of the glory days of FF. Imo FF needs to die and Square needs to move on to a new JRPG series made in house that can take its place.
But that's just me, and hey XV is selling well, people seem to love it, (I didn't) but if the audience is responding well then hey good on them. FFVII looks great so far but I'll probably be finding out that Aerith dies on my deathbed.
