[The Last One]

I see many people saying the first game would only feature Midgar but this seens like a big mistake. Only Midgar would mean really thin content I guess.

The should finish part 1 with Aerith's death IMO. It's the perfect cliffhanger because that's exactly where a New game's act begins.

 

[Ishida]

Probably the aftermath of Sapphire Weapon's raid at Junon.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Spoilers, dude -.-

EDit: On a serious note. Hope there are a lot of quests added.

 

[Horsemama1956]

..Episode 1? I must have missed something.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Hooking up with Don Corneo as Cloud.

 

[Yoshichan]

Ending it at Midgar wouldn't make episode I "thin of content". Not at all actually.

 

[CHC]

Kalm Inn

 

[The God]

..Episode 1? I must have missed something.

The remake will be episodic

 

[Evil Monkey DTT]

I would be fine with ending on the cliffhanger of cloud finishing his story about his home being destroyed. Although I expect midgar to be the ending because it could be released in my lifetime and that scene just feels like a closure.

 

[Acquiescence]

Cloud winning the Don Corneo beauty contest.

 

[Unai]

Although not perfect, there are other possible places, like when you go to prison.

 

[DKHF]

Only Midgar would mean really thin content I guess.

I think they are going to be adding enough new stuff that Midgar could be expanded to be big enough for the first part. I'm not sure part 1 will end there though.

 

[ViciousDS]

..Episode 1? I must have missed something.

The new trailer features the first CG scenes as well as gameplay footage. FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE will be told across a multi-part series, with each entry providing its own unique experience.

 

[Cyple]

It will probably end at the Kalm Inn when Cloud begins to tell everyone about Sephiroth.

 

[Rad-]

Just Midgar is fine with me. The city has so much potential.

 

[Geg]

Aerith was dead all along and Cloud killed her.

In all seriousness hopefully Junon/the Shinra ship heading to the west continent. Ending it at the end of Midgar means we can expect 5+ episodes of FFVIIR

 

[TheGhostSix]

I can see them doing a 3 game structure.

Part 1: Midgar/Leaving to the west continent
Part 2: Everything up until Aertih's death
Part 3: Endgame

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Probably everyone on the bridge just before leaving Midgar. How many parts are they doing though? That could be way too much or little depending.

 

[Sephzilla]

End it either with them leaving Midgar, the Nibelheim flashback, or with the

Spoiler

Aeris

death scene

 

[giancarlo123x]

Spoilers, dude -.-

EDit: On a serious note. Hope there are a lot of quests added.

How?
Edit: I saw the edit as soon as I posted

 

[daveo42]

First Jenova fight on the trip to Costa del Sol. Still think that cutting the game up by Jenova fights (boat/crater) give nice ends to arcs and the reveal of larger things to come. Maybe Aeris death in there instead of the crater fight...but that does leave quite a bit for the final game.

 

[DecoReturns]

Clouds backstory? Happens right after Midgar.

Unless they want to start with that in E.2

I don't know honestly

 

[SpaceWolf]

The ending of Final Fantasy 7.

 

[Ishida]

Spoilers, dude -.-

EDit: On a serious note. Hope there are a lot of quests added.

Can't wait to go look for frogs at the Northern Crater.

 

[Lights and Waves]

Kalm Inn would be a great ending/teaser for what's to come.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Im afraid its just going to be midgar.

Im hoping that we can get to the boat ride and fight jenova.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Midgar is the logical place. They can easily pad that out to be an episode. Running it to what was the end of disc 1 in the original game is going to mean rushing through a lot. People expecting each part to be a full game I think are going to be disappointed. I'd expect 10 hours a piece with side quests. SE will suggest otherwise, but it won't happen.

 

[Kaiken]

I can see them doing a 3 game structure.

Part 1: Midgar/Leaving to the west continent
Part 2: Everything up until Aertih's death
Part 3: Endgame

Hoping for this.

 

[Mman235]

Leaving Midgar is the most likely end, unless they do the Kaim sequence too. I guess they'll leave that until later to hype up the "play as Sephiroth, but even more awesome this time!" aspect for part 2 though.

 

[Yoshichan]

I can see them doing a 3 game structure.

Part 1: Midgar/Leaving to the west continent
Part 2: Everything up until Aertih's death
Part 3: Endgame

Wishful, but here's hoping.

 

[bjork]

Probably everyone on the bridge just before leaving Midgar. How many parts are they doing though? That could be way too much or little depending.

Yeah, this is what I'm guessing as well. Right after the motorcycle mini-game, if that returns.

 

[TheMan]

http://www.kotaku.com.au/2015/12/sounds-like-the-final-fantasy-vii-remake-will-be-episodic/

This still burns my biscuits.

 

[desmax]

End of Disc 1 would be fine

I think an episode for each disc would be fair

I can see them doing a 3 game structure.

Part 1: Midgar/Leaving to the west continent
Part 2: Everything up until Aertih's death
Part 3: Endgame

This would be pretty good

 

[Asd202]

It will be only Midgar as they'll will stall over the decision whether to make this into an open world game or not going forward. They will not do Midgar and the world map section in a single game you can forget about it.

 

[HvySky]

Leaving Midgar has been the perfect ending in my mind ever since they said the game would be episodic.

 

[LelouchZero]

The game does have a 3 part structure to begin with, seeing as there was 3 discs for the original game.

Ending part 1 around the event the OP mentioned would be interesting as it follows the original game and there's a huge chunk of content in Part 1 of the game, the remake will likely expand upon this too.

 

[mistuhcahlos]

I see many people saying the first game would only feature Midgar but this seens like a big mistake. Only Midgar would mean really thin content I guess.

The should finish part 1 with Aerith's death IMO. It's the perfect cliffhanger because that's exactly where a New game's act begins.

End it when you get out of Midgar. I always thought there should be more to do in Midgar, they could make a whole game out of it.

 

[jiggle]

Unless there are Naruto scale of fillers
Midgar exile feels too early

Aerith's death makes a good cut off point
All the party members have been introduced
As well as a good chunk of the world


Although iono how they can stretch the rest of the game into 2 more episodes

 

[Kuraudo]

A boss fight with Genesis in the Gold Saucer.

 

[Shift Breaker]

Expanded Midgar would be cool, but there's so much game after it that I'd rather not have the whole thing consist of about 8 episodes. The earliest ending point I'd want would be Junon, and that still leaves a lot.

 

[Wagram]

I guarantee the end of Midgar is Episode 1.

 

[TONX]

After Could tells his story of Sephiroth.

 

[Geg]

My personal hope is:

Part 1: Shinra ship from Junon
Part 2: Meteor summoned
Part 3: Rest of the game

If they're going for 5 episodes then it'll probably be the end of Midgar

 

[The Last One]

I think they are going to be adding enough new stuff that Midgar could be expanded to be big enough for the first part. I'm not sure part 1 will end there though.

Ending it at Midgar wouldn't make episode I "thin of content". Not at all actually.

The post I quoted above is what I think it'll happen. They will have to add some new elements in the story content to make the first episode lasts.

 

[Ishida]

A boss fight with Genesis in the Gold Saucer.

Oooh boy, seeing a Genesis cameo would be delicious.

 

[Nephtes]

I see many people saying the first game would only feature Midgar but this seens like a big mistake. Only Midgar would mean really thin content I guess.

The should finish part 1 with Aerith's death IMO. It's the perfect cliffhanger because that's exactly where a New game's act begins.

... I doubt they're going all the way up to Aerith's death with part 1.

I believe they're going to go with the only Midgar for part 1, and they'll probably beef up the gameplay time in that section of the game by introducing "fresh" new gameplay mechanics like:
- Midgar Slums Beast Hunts/Bounties
- Fishing at Aerith's mom's house
- Cooking with Tifa
- Barret's camera arm photo mode
- Cloud's Lightning Cosplay Dress up Extravaganza


They'll probably fuck it up and insert some of the Godawful Crisis Core nonsense in there too...
I swear, if Angeal or Genesis show up in the remake, count me out for part 2.

 

[otapnam]

Spoilers, dude -.-

EDit: On a serious note. Hope there are a lot of quests added.

U mean like a ton of hunts? Lmao or frog catching

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

Kalm Inn section

Edit: Ehh, the more I think of it, the more I feel it's going to end of Midgar. Makes too much sense.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Kalm Inn would be a great ending/teaser for what's to come.

I do actually agree but I feel like it's going to be a really anticlimactic ending. Like we get all the cool stuff with Sephy and then the party go to bed, credits roll. I'm not really sure which would be better to be honest as both Kalm and Midgar are going to be pretty relaxed endings.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

U mean like a ton of hunts? Lmao or frog catching

I don't know man. I played FFVII until after Midgar, and that felt really short to me.
