It's very rare for any media to have a guaranteed sequel in the works long before launch. The fact of the matter is that some people will have bought ff7r thinking it was the full story and not just part of it. Ff7r is taking a story that was a single release and splitting it up. Most games that have this kind of structure will put episode 1 or have some indication that this is the first part. Even if they called it something like ff7r midgar, that would of been something. Calling it ff7r kind of implies that you are getting all of ff7 not just a part.

Very much untrue. Even more at western world where most products are made with sequels in mind and even have several hints and threads left in the original to go for a sequel. We have had cases of producers saying they had several sequels already in plan. Sure the execution will depend on the product having success, but that doesn't mean it wasn't planned for a sequel.

Only people that completely ignored all information regarding FFVIIR would think like that because SE was crystal clear from the beginning that they would only tell Midgar on this entry and have told so for over 3 years. And we live in a world with internet and reviewers. So one need to be purposely ignoring it.

Bolded the key word that you skipped. Because zero of what I said even hinted at the idea that sequels aren't planned, just that they aren't guaranteed. That and many sequels tell different stories to the original rather than carrying on an overarching narrative.

The original ff7 was insanely popular it's not crazy to think that plenty of people might impulse buy The remake without knowing much about it. I know a few who did. I don't get why you are so defensive of this, putting part 1 or episode 1 on the cover isn't going to hurt anyone is it? 

This is getting off topic. Please just admit that I might have little bit of a point here, what I'm saying isn't crazy or controversial. You don't need to always disagree with everything I say just for the sake of it.
