The game was fully marketed as being only about the Midgar parts, it’s explicitly stated so in the online stores’ description of the game, as well as written on the back cover of the game. 

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.

I love the accusations that TLOU2 and FFVIIR marketing are deceiving and how they justify the viewpoint.

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.

You dont think what ND did to TLOU2 was deceiving? Thats impressive

Do you know that FFVIIR also aren`t guaranteed right? The game could have sold very bad and canned. Even if they started making the rest of FFVIIR while the first was still in production that doesn`t make the other parts less likely to be cancelled midway.

In the very box of the game it says the game doesn`t cover the whole story of the original. You and several others are just nitpiking on everything on FFVIIR to try and make a case.

Nope, what was deceiving? Because having some scenes on trailer that is not in the game isn`t being deceptive. Just look at the PSN review that have been steady on 4.5/5.

But please develop on how they were deceiving.

You are impossible to have a reasonable discussion with. 

Every time we speak you just dismiss anything I say as nitpicks. Just because these issues don't affect you doesn't mean they don't matter to other people. Anyway this doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the game itself. It is just a little issue that I have. If it doesn't bother you fine, but it bothers me and other people and if you can't deal with that, that is you problem.

At this point if you can't admit that then don't speak to me anymore because I'm done with you.

It is probably the first time I use the word nitpik with you. And didn`t say no one bought without knowing the game was part of planned series, still that is a very small portion of people that just ignored all the information. Only someone that just happened to be on the store and felt the urge to buy without even reading the box or any single information, that is such a small issue that saying SE was being manipulative or unclear is strange.

I dont think it is, at the very least you are often dissmissive of everything i say.

When did I say manipulative. Read what I say, not what you think I say. You do this all the time, you say that I mean something that I never said.

If some people are going to make that mistake surely they might as well put a part 1 on there so no one will make that mistake. Billions of people out there don't pay a lot of attention to gaming news. I know 3 people that bought the game because they saw ff7 on the shelf and were like cool I played that as a kid.

Just admit that it couldn't hurt or Tell me what issues will putting part 1 on the box cause?

There you go

There are two more I cant remember right now. It was on purpose and I truly believe this is awful as people hold the first game deep in their hearts.

This is even more deceiving than Kojima on MGS2 and can't even be compared with FF7 which in my opinion wasnt deceiving, they just needed to include an Ep1 on the cover of the game. 

To be fair, we will know only in the future but I believe this game had a big story redesign not long ago, as the co-writer already stated she had a fight with Drunkmann for 6 months to swap the destiny of two characters.
