As long as there is an eventual complete version when it is all done, I won't really care.

I am under the impression that the original game is going to be split into several 'episodes' but each location is going to be expanded to allow for more exploration and possibly side-quests.

The logical idea of this is to follow how the original was split, being over 3 disks, and have each part released be that disks content.

People have floated the idea that they mean to bring in other games in the series such as crisis core, which is possible, but we won't know for sure till we have more information! Everything is assumptions at this point sadly...

Ah, okay, so Squeenix says something ambiguous, and nobody knows exactly what they mean, latching onto existing possible meanings like TellTale episodes or multiple games. Considering the relatively glacial pace of SE (and their silly goal of letting you explore Midgar in it's entirety), my blind guess is a series of chapters spread out over three years.

If this proves to be true then i stand corrected. I really hope you guys are right and i´m wrong

We know that they will explore the content more deeply (for example the story of Avalanche members Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie) and add content that supposed to surprise the old fans. They want to make a fresh experience even for those who already beat the game. That all sounds good and promising. Although I'm still not convinced that it will be "too big" for one release. I'm worried about how that are going to handle the progress of the player thorough the episodes. Will there be a level cap? This is critical.

I have seen people complain about it, actually: I've seen them complain about all the unanswered questions in episode 7.

Oh dang.... just read it. That does sound like they would (maybe) broke the game in 2 parts rather than expanding into a sequel like Final Fantasy X-2... This is seriously worry me. But we will see, i mean the game is still very early in development, and so far everything is still speculating right now. I have high hope for Square Enix :3.

It is episodic. There is no doubt about it. They are chopping the full story of the original into parts. This isnt at all the same as FFXIII-2 and FFX-2. Those were sequals.

The FF7 episodes won't be contained stories. They will be abrupt cliffhanger ending episodes. The one where Aerith dies is going to be particularly revolting, because it will lose the feels the original had after you had to continue the adventure after the dramatic event. Now you get a year or so in between. When you start again, the feels will be long gone. 

No matter how i look at it, i understand their problem, but the remake is already setting itself for a fail to capture the feel of the original. But well... i guess one can wait until they are all out and then play them back to back.

To the OP: how do you know it wont be episodic like the Telltale games? It hopefully will not be like that but you can't know any more about it than anyone else. Or do you have some new information?

Too much crying from people who had no intention of getting the game anyways. Expect the crisis core tie in along with expanded vincent story line and advent children.
