Instead of remaking the rest of FF7 they should just remake the first disc of FF8 next, then the first two discs of FF9 since the first third or half is always the better part of the game in this series. The only Final Fantasy I've ever finished is FF15 (which also has a marked decrease in quality near the end but at least the actual ending is brilliant).

Think of it this way: The game coming out now is Season 1 of the TV show. It is not the complete series but it is a completed story arc.

This is what they've said, yes. It adapts the Midgar part of FF7 into a full 30 hour game, with new content on top of just expanding what was already there. They've added a ton to Midgar, apparently, with a lot more to do and explore. Their goal is apparently to not cut anything, while also expanding on what was there. Think of it like the first season of a TV series or, like, a Star Wars "episode." It's intended to be a complete package with the next parts functionally as sequels.

I tend to assume "it's like Xenosaga!" is a selling point to me and me alone Plus if it's really like Xenosaga they'll plan for six episodes and then have to rush to wrap things up in the third

Yes, each installment is going to be a full game experience. Midgar is going to be a 30-40 hour game. You are not going to need this first game installed to go back to Midgar in whatever installment has the Midgar raid in it. Each part of the remake is going to be a fully self-contained game, they are not discs. They are not 3 hour episodes like Walking Dead or Life is Strange.

Much like how the originals had the entire game in each disc, I suppose, but probably to a much lesser degree.

Unlike some other places you can just perfectly image this floor rendered in, say, Unreal Engine 4. You know, in the FFVII remake. That's never gonna happen.

Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope had multiple discs and required you to swap them out if you wanted to visit certain planets. Hell I think even just trying to enter your ship required you to change discs sometimes.

Eddain posted:Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope had multiple discs and required you to swap them out if you wanted to visit certain planets. That was still one game. This guy is thinking you would need to keep an entirely separate game installed in order to go back to something. It's just completely non-sensical. I don't know why people can't seem to grasp how these games are going to work on even a basic level.

I can't even remember the last time Square Enix described them as episodes rather than parts. They probably should have come out right away describing it as a series with sequels, although I'm sure there'd still be people dedicated to not getting it.

I think they should've given it a subtitle to denote it as it's own experience, FFVII: Midgar, etc. Personally, I like that they're going to flesh out President Shinra into a real full game villain status before he gets ganked this time.

I just defeated Ultimate Weapon, and debating how much endgame stuff I should do. Cloud is already a murder machine with Deathblow-Added Cut, along with maxed out cover and counter. Yuffie is dropping Ultima-Steal As Well on fools, and Cid is using 2XCut and Comet2 or Phoenix as a mix between physical and magic. Might get a gold chocobo just because they’re cute, not that I care about KOTR. Definitely have to get omnislash. You guys have any suggestions?
