I'll wait for the complete edition in that case.

Also I'm not sure if I'm gonna like the "Unique" experience in each part thing >.>

I loved disc swapping, so this helps retain nostalgia.

How did disc swapping work in typical game with disc swapping?

I mean, I grew up with PC. Most games I got only wanted to disk-swap during installation.

Could you, say, borrow a game from friend episodically?

 

[jett]

I'm not surprised at all by this news, in fact I figured it might happen. Too much fucking content in FF7 to remake all of it into a single, modern AAA game. This just makes financial sense. It would be prohibitively expensive otherwise and would take forever to make.

 

[jblank83]

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

Yeah, that's the reason...

 

[hitsugi]

HD towns.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Mistranslation? This has to be a mistranslation or misunderstanding. If not, Squenix can get fucked.

 

[Spieler Eins]

 

[E-Cat]

I wonder what this means for backtracking and the world map.

This right here.

 

[rrc1594]

This thread moving fast

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

...huh idk what i think about this so far

 

[alr1ght]

lmao

The $200 game publishers have dreamed of.

 

[Nibel]

I guess that explains how they plan to cover the whole story. They'll use episode breaks to cut out parts of the world that would be too large and too time consuming/expensive to create.

There might be parts missing?

ok this nightmare territory now

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

 

[Nyoro SF]

There's always a catch!

 

[GavinGT]

Finally, something we can all agree to hate.

 

[FirmBizBws]

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.

I agree. Just need some microtransactions and DLC to go along with that 4x20 tag and we will have a full game on our hands.

 

[Murugo]

Please insert disc 2...

...coming November 2019.

 

[JudgeN]

The fuck does that mean?

 

[Kusagari]

Releasing a 30+ hour RPG piecemeal.

Yeah....no.

 

[vagabondarts]

I knew something felt off while watching that PSX trailer...

I'm joking now, but with Nomura can we expect each episode on a different system?

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

This is the most annoying trend right now. Just finish the game and let me play it in one go without having to worry about when the rest of the game is coming out.

 

[Roldan]

aerith will remember this

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

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

You know it'll take them atleast 2 years per disc!

 

[FTF]

 

[Morrigan Stark]

for more money?

Of course. $ per episode, then $$$ for the "complete collection" down the line.

- No turn based combate
- No original music conposer
- episodic bullshit

They really screw this up.

I, for one, am shocked that they would screw it up! I never expected this in my life!

 

[Rajang]

Someone comfort me.

I was so happy yesterday...

:<

 

[Styles]

Lmfaoooo

 

[KZXcellent]

Not gonna lie, watching the outrage over this is gonna be a riot. And I thought the Battle System change was gonna be the big thing to get people up in arms.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I thought this might happen. It was all too good to be true. I'll probably buy the episodes as they release and in the inevitable physical education. Ugh.

Damn ;_;

 

[dragonzdogma]

If its similar to RE revelations 2 I wont mind .

 

[Ryan_MSF]

[MetroidPrimeRib]

There might be parts missing?

ok this nightmare territory now

Yeah, can't see that going well.

 

[Makki]

Whelp, guess Im playing the FFVII Collection remaster on PS5

 

[Dark_castle]

WHAT. NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[OniBaka]

So like the PS1 version with 3 disc.

 

[5taquitos]

So you'll leave Midgar and be greeted by a "To Be Continued in 4 Years" message?

 

[Ganzlinger]

My world...

 

[Feichaw]

Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

Why, Square-Enix?! Why?! I knew there was a catch. Everything seemed to be too good to be true.

 

[hitmon]

What the... Is it going to be like how they did the FFXIII trilogy or more like Telltale Games? This does not sound good, but I'll wait for more details.

 

[SomeRandomWeirdGuy]

Prepare for each episode to be 60 bucks. Pay for that sweet sweet ARPG goodness

Spoiler

/s

 

[Yawnier]

3 episodes / $19.99 each

Calling it now

Can't see each episode/part being that cheap, just no way.

 

[Slime]

I'm wondering if it's not necessarily episodic, but split between separate releases a la Deathly Hallows, The Hobbit, Mockingjay, etc.

Final Fantasy VII: Parts 1-3 or some shit.

 

[Meccanical]

 

[entremet]

3 episodes / $19.99 each

Calling it now

Yeah. no. Not if they want to make their money back.

Also this may also help other platforms catch up.

Episode 1 on PS4

A year later Episode 1 and 2 on PS4, XB1, PC, and NX?

 

[kewlbot]

oh no

 

[BrokenFiction]

They giveth, then they taketh away.

 

[Hazmat]

There is no God.

 

[LowParry]

So we're not getting a full on remake? Hmmm. What are we not going to see?

 

[mysteriousmage09]

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

It's still shit. I don't want to have to play "Episode 1: Midgar" then be force to wait for god knows how many months to continue.

It's a pure god awful way to go about it. This seriously murdered my hype 10 times over.
