Nice way to fuck up Square

 

[Weeaboosuke]

Well, it is a big ass game. If done right it could be for the best.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Is Telltale making it

 

[Deft Beck]

This is going to be a bigger trainwreck than the one that happens in Disc 1.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

3 episodes / $19.99 each

Calling it now

 

[jbug617]

Before you guys go crazy, it's so they can release parts of it quicker.

something similar to what they are doing with Hitman?

 

[The Last One]

WHAT THE FUCK? IT CAN'T BE!!!

That's why we can play it first in the PS4. WHAT A DISASTER!

GO FUCK YOURSELF, SQUARE

 

[KingBroly]

Before you guys go crazy, it's so they can release parts of it quicker.

Well...yeah.

So Episode 1 is first on PS4 then the others aren't?

 

[UltimaPooh]

 

[rrc1594]

This.

 

[Relix]

Nah.

Naaah. I refuse to believe this. Naaah

 

[Sophia]

I mean, as long as the game doesn't feel disconnected from episode to episode and I can carry my characters over.... there's no issue right? Four episodes at $15/20 an episode isn't really that bad.

 

[FirmBizBws]

Lmfao the inevitable twist is here.

 

[GuardianE]

Not like this.

 

[friskykillface]

$40 per disc

we dead

 

[xxracerxx]

Whelp....waiting until it is a full buy and cheap.

 

[StriKeVillain]

This thread is going to be amazing.

 

[texhnolyze]

No, SE, not like this..

So, 1 episode for 1 disc in PS version?
We'll get 3 episodes then at most.

 

[bananafactory]

Why is everyone freaking out? What does it matter if it's split into parts? It just means we will get to play some earlier.

You can still wait for the full thing if you want.

 

[RandomExpletive]

Before you guys go crazy, it's so they can release parts of it quicker.

Too late, the crazy has begun.

Wonder if they'll be able to pull it off

 

[BlackJace]

S Q U A R E E N I X

 

[farisr]

Knew it. It was turning out too well. As soon as the game started looking like what I wanted Versus XIII to be, I was like "something's gonna happen, this is too good to be true"

 

[LiK]

watch it be $60 per episode.

 

[dragonlife]

AHAHAHAHAHA.

This is genuinely hilarious. Oh, man.

It could still be good, though, I guess?

 

[enemy2k]

wut

 

[Firmus_Anguis]

They have to be fucking kidding!!

 

[SoraanTribal]

What. This is really unexpected. Not a big fan of episodic releases.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

My hype just became crashing down but I'll not write the game off just yet. I just hope they really know what they are doing.

 

[quesalupa]

Does that mean digital only?

 

[Nanashrew]

Lol, what sense does that make

Obviously thinking in dollars in how much they can get out of the fanbase by making it episodic.

But man, this is dumb.

 

[Crossing Eden]

What?!

 

[mdubs]

At least we may see it before 2018 then!

 

[somecrazymember]

Pretty much what Verendus implied

 

[GavinGT]

Just how I like my RPG remakes...episodic.

 

[mullet2000]

Jeez. That's one way to kill my interest.

Episodic games arent inherently bad, of course, but it's not a structure I'm fond of whatsoever. Especially in an RPG, where scale, progression, and scope of a big adventure are all so important.

 

[Timeless]

$60 for part 1, $40 for parts 2 & 3

 

[ElTorro]

Square just shot themselves in the foot.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

That's great man

 

[Auto_aim1]

Yup, I'm out. Knew it was too good to be true.

 

[The Silver]

You had one job Square, YOU HAD ONE JOB

 

[Khrno]

I'm ok with it only if they change the story and Cloud dies instead of Aerith.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Why?

 

[GAMERG0D]

How are they going to have sidequests added to this, like if you can access Gold Saucer in part 3 or something then there's a part 4? Like having save data carry over without glitches.

 

[Kagari]

Well...yeah.

So Episode 1 is first on PS4 then the others aren't?

No one said that.

 

[Nev]

I thought this was assumed after watching the gameplay trailer and knowing they're also developing FFXV and KH3. People who thought this was going to be a 100% FFVII remake and that it'd be released as such in the near future were being very delusional. FFVII is not Midgar.

 

[Moosehole]

Wait you mean Square is going to screw this up like shit?

You're kidding me!

 

[LuuKyK]

I loved disc swapping, so this helps retain nostalgia.

lol That one way of seeing it.

Before you guys go crazy, it's so they can release parts of it quicker.

Its pretty obvious this is the reason, considering they must be trying to avoid another Versus/XV situation. Obviously people will quickly jump into the "fuck Square and its greedy decisions!" boat.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Wat. Does that mean that it will be released in pieces?

I would think so.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Before you guys go crazy, it's so they can release parts of it quicker.

Too late. People already overreacting
