Like I said from the start, but many people never bothered to actually read the original interviews where "episodic" was never mentioned. And so missinformation spread like wildfire.
Nautilus said: Im not so sure if I understood what he said, but is he implying he will divide FF7 original game(the original story), in multiple parts, but that each part will feel as a game on its own?If thats true it still sucks for me. I want the original story to be told in one game, not it being divided. But if what he means is that they will expand the story, and FF7, for example, is the first game, then advent child story is the second and so on.Then Im good with it |
It's the former. It will be like the hack//G.U series.
Your wish however is impossible. They can't cram everything from the original FF7 into one game with this kind of graphical fidelity. That's why they're making it multi game instead, because they want to include everything. So your choice is between a FF7 Remake with plenty of cut content. Or a multi game series.
For me, I prefer the latter. It's a very special game to me. And want it to contain as much from the original as possible. If it was a remake of some other less noteworthy title I'd be fine with cut content, but in this case I want to relive all of it.

They cant fit all in one disc(or one physical release if you prefer) just because its FF7?So you mean all the gigantic and awesome games like Witcher 3, Dark Souls 3, and many more that I cant remember now must be small, because they managed to put all in one package.
With all due respect to FF7, but people remember it as something much bigger than the actual FF7 is.They remember it as a game that was a beast for its time and had to have 27 different discs just to fit it all.Its not.FF7 was revolutionary,yes, but in terms of size and "game scope", it was also on par with the other big ones at the time.It was epic, but the PS1 managed to run it.
What I mean is, all this talk of "FF7R needs multiple launches(or full-size games) to be able to realize its true vision,because its too big" its a pure lie.Simple as that.The graphics can be awe-dropping and all, but if SE really wanted, they could fit it all in one CD.There are really great looking games out there, with gigantic worlds, and yet they manage to fit all in one game.FF7 is not special.It is a excellent game, but its still a game.FF15 is one game, that probably is going to last 50-60 hours.Why cant FF7R be the same?And if budget is the issue, that this title would require an investment that would be too high for one game, look no further than Destiny.That game had 500 million dollars budget, for gods sake!And managed to make a gigantic profit, being a new IP.
This whole multi-disc aproach has another name:money grabbing.SE is(unfortunaly) just being a company, and as all companies, they want money.And they know that FF7R will sell no matter what they do.Even if they made DLCs(EA style) for the game people would buy in droves.
