Final Fantasy VII Remake can't be GOTY

Before attacking somebody blindly you ought to take 5 seconds to understand their stance. I never called the remake incomplete. I never said it wasn't a full game. My stance is the remake is episodic, much like LotR and Star Wars. So great work attacking somebody for a claim they never made.  And the remake is episodic.  Which may (or may not) be a bad thing.  My point is people are awful defensive of the e-word when the e-word is an accurate description.  But but all means keep attacking.

It’s not difficult to understand why the word episodic isn’t exactly the right way to describe FFVII Remake when the word is synonymous in the game industry to how Telltale and Dontnod deliver their games. Which is more similar to anime than movies.

FFVII Remake separates its content like the movies already mentioned earlier, rather than like an anime series. Or if you prefer, the amount of content and features is the same as a conplete game and there will be a resolution by the end of it even though the story will continue to evolve in the next one, which is contrary to what episodic games have done so far.

Honestly I don't understand the sensitivity around the e-word.  Star Wars are clearly labeled as episodes and are my all-time favorite movies.  So no, I don't get the problem with calling FFVII for what it is.  Especially when people who are sensitive to the e-word constantly bring up Xenosaga and Star Wars...  both of which are literally labeled as e-words.
