That was the point wasn't it? They want to remake it bigger and better, wich is why it's divided in 3. Even in the PSX presentation we were already seeing stuff that wasn't in the original. But i agree. While i think that the remake may be able to meet expectations in terms of quality, the format will make it lose popularity as it's truly not a trilogy but 1 game chopped in 3. I'd be ok with it if they let us merge the 3 at the end. Also, it raises problems over how the save file/levels/materia/items will transfer over. Some people may just level all the way to 99 before episode 2 even releases, completely breaking the game.
Is this cause you think the game wont release for another 3 years or because you are expecting PS5 for next year? I see quite a few people with that expectation of the PS5 and i think it's total financial suicide to go back to 5 year cycles. I will be very surprised if we see it come out before fall 2020. The only danger aspect to it is Microsoft. Given they aren't winning, they may want to jump the ship to the next gen hoping for another 360 tirade. But i'm sure Sony won't be caught with their pants down again. |
To be honest, when it comes to SquareEnix and development/release dates I´ve come to expect the worst, they´re a mess in that department.I expect the PS5 to be unveiled in 2020, about two years from now, and released during fall of the same year, that´d make it a 7 year period between 2013 when the PS4 was released and 2020, which is very reasonable, so I could see Square releasing episode I in that year, but I hope I´m wrong and it´s released next year.
