As long as it adds up to $60.

Somehow I doubt it.

We're talking about the company behind All The Bravest here.

We have no idea how the main story will go though.  They want to add some things to the main scenario, but how will that be?  They may decide to split up the main scenario with these additions.  I suppose the definition of episodic needs to be clarified in this.  Why not jus tsay DLC?

Going by the tweet from what he translated, he said the basic story and scenario would remain the same ... 

There might be a few dialogue changes here and there along with new scenes but it looks like their just integrating new content to the story ... 


Yes, and this opens the possibility that  we might have to buy the extra content packaged in, in order to  play all the main story.  It wasn't said to be DLC after all.  I was about to go to sleep feeling great...ugh.

im just wondering if they release it in pieces, that means exploration and things of that nature is going to take a hit and the game is going to become that much more linear

Even when we had the freedom to explore the world map there was a streamlined access to the places we could explore, limited to the car, Cid's airplane, etc.

It is all supposed to open up when you get the Highwind. I wonder how they will work all those things out, I mean, did they say there was an overworld?I can't remember.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

What DLC ? They have yet to announce that ... 

I think it's like this, the game is released in parts but they all have extra content added to them ...

Sadly this is to be expected. This isn't 90s or even 2000s Square we're talking about. It's modern Square. And this is the shitty modern age of gaming we live in.

They will fleece fans for a sub-par experience, and fans will pay out the ass for it anyway.



Odd, certainly not a deal breaker.

The episodic approach is not the only way to offer a multi part series to FF7, specially to ff7 where they already provided several entries with "unique experiences". I think they're remaking all FF7 games like Crisis core and maybe Dirge as they are all part of the story. Doing so also perfectly fits their statement of releasing a multi-part series, each having their own "unique experiences".

So yeah, better change that title as nothing has been confirmed yet.

I hope you are right brother because if this ends up like Life is Strange then that would just be a downer. T^T

That's not the way to judge the game publisher by it's shovelware seeing as how we can make a case against the rest of the industry ... 

SE easily has the best potential when it comes to output this generation ...
