The entire will be about Cloud sleeping on the train and when he finally arrives at the station, it ends. Episode 2 will be about the walk from the train station to the reactor. By episode 2943 you'll finally meet Aerith(lisp).

I'm with you. FFVII compilation addition to the overall story are garbage tier.
I think this would be perfect. So SE won't do it. We'll get them blowing their wad on Midgar, making that an entire part 1, and the rest of the better overall story will suffer and be a rush job.
Nah, the disks don't spread the game evenly. Disk 3 is just endgame content and the final dungeon.
The natural stopping points for Episode 1 would be either to finish at the end of Midgar, leaving the whole encapsulated in the one city and leaving off on a climax, or at the inn in Kalm so that there's a bit of a breather before the next part. Aesthetically, keeping it all in Midgar feels a lot more neat.

Is this the general consensus? I enjoyed Crisis Core.
Having literally the first third of the game devoted entirely towards Midgar would be absolutely horrible.
You're probably right, though.

I'd be way hyped for an all Midgar game honestly. Take what's there, expand it to like a 15+ hour action game

It has to be the end of the highway in Midgar overlooking the sunset.
Midgar is the best part of the game though.

Since the director is Nomura I'm expecting all of the compilation of FF VII make it to the Remake.
I think this is how Episode 1 will end
I also think they will expand Midgar and add elements from Crisis Core. I would like if the game ended at Kalm (they would need to add something else to give the game closure and a final boss), with the vision of Sephiroth walking through the flames being used as cliffhanger.

I enjoyed the gameplay and the pick up and play portable nature of it... But the story additions Crisis Core made to FFVII lore are trash.
The music was really good though, Zack's theme is the only Final Fantasy music I've bothered to transcribe for guitar... Well except Shadow's theme...
You realize SE never confirmed how many parts there will be. People just think it's going to be no more than 3 for some reason.

Midgar is a nostalgia gold mine. No way they don't take advantage of that.
Too much happens in disc 2 for this to work:
Sephiroth summoning meteor, the WEAPONs appearing, the party breaking out of prison, the search for Cloud, the hunt for the black materia (including a journey to the bottom of the sea and outer space), the return to Midgar and fight with Hojo.
But considering the pacing of FFXV, this is probably what they'll go with.
No thanks, i don't want a load of MMO quests padding it out, hopefully it stays a mostly linear story heavy game

Wait, has it even been confirmed it's going to be 3 parts? Anything more than that is overkill (especially if these are full priced titles), but still...

Escape from Midgar. The party at the end of the road looking into the horizon and an updated version of this plays before the end of the chapter.
No. Most people just assume it's 3 part.

The entire game.

It's not confirmed. People only assume that they'll develop 3 parts.
It almost certainly won't be priced like an episodic game...

I hope Clouds backstory isn't just cutscenes.
I would love it to be playable.

I think Midgar will probably be the first part, leaving them time to dedicate to the environment that we'll by and large never be able to visit again, avoiding any jarring transitions between that section and any part of the second episode that takes place outside Midgar, and letting them focus on polishing other parts of the world for subsequent episodes.
I could see them taking the story as far as Junon, though, with the caveat that we never get to fully explore that section of the world map ever again.

That's assuming there won't be expanded content in Midgar. They said this is a remake, not a remaster, so it's very likely we'll get some, if not a substantial amount, of new stuff in Midgar

Thin on content? How? Assuming we get 3 games, I could very well see part 1 ending with them escaping Midgar. Everything up to that can be expanded upon, which I hope they do, because despite all the FF7 games I still want to know more about Midgar. I would say we can expect a very realized Midgar with a lot of places to go in the city.
Was this actual rape ? or just groping ?
I still can't comprehend this scene sometimes xD
Absolutely agreed. Jenova Birth is the perfect cutoff point.
I love the idea of them fleshing Midgar out and letting us explore more of the city, but I hope that's not the entirety of the first episode. The moment where you leave Midgar and see that you still have a whole world to explore is a powerful one, and I think having an episode split at that point would destroy that moment.
Going with your arrival at Costa del Sol would add, off the top of my head, Kalm, Chocobo Ranch, Mythril Mine, Fort Condor, and Junon. That's not too big an ask to add, I think, and would allow for that sense of the game's scope before asking the player to wait another year (optimism). There's some important story to pick up at Kalm to get properly invested in your party (and in the villain).
Plus new players would get to hear J-E-N-O-V-A as the episode finale.
You're looking for Crisis Core...
Available right now on PSP...
(It's story is shit and lessens FFVII's story, don't play it)

I think ending it after you fight Jenova on the cargo ship would be fine.
I really just want to see Jenova in the remake, I'll be honest.

That's what they said as soon as they were asked about how they're going to do things:
Play Crisis Core. It's a decent game. It also has a fantastic ending.

If they're going for more than 3 episodes, the end of Midgar should be fine, if its 3 episodes then I'd say after the attack on Junon
Don't listen to this man, play it. Ending made grown men cry.

Part 1 is the entire game and part 2 is the sequel and Advent Children is non-canon.

Would love too. But I'm not buying a PSP for it and I'm foolishly hoping for a digital release.
Soundtrack is pretty great tho
