But they switched engine mid way. Also fans should start expecting ff7r to be smaller in focus than kh3. It's episodical for a reason. Budget.
There's no way SE is skimping on budget for a remake of their most popular title of all time. I mean, if they are, people won't be happy.
UNRELENTING TURBOHYPE.
Note that KH3 originally began on Luminous and had to switch to UE4 later, so they had to start over in some areas. FF7R was on UE4 from the start, has multiple development teams handling grunt work, and didn't need a whole new game's worth of story and character/world design to be made from scratch.

That's actually easily doable. The largest of those games—VII, VIII, and IX—were on CD-ROM and were no larger than 750MB each. You wouldn't even need the largest Vita game card to fit them all. EDIT: Forgot about multiple discs but I still think it's doable; see below.
Now, if they go with the Steam ports of all three it could be another matter.
Plenty of other reasons not to think they will do this, though.
...The PS1 FF games were all on multiple discs. FF7 is over 1.3GB and that's the smallest one.
Ah, yes, good point. Even so, all nine games could probably fit on an 8GB Vita card. The absolute largest IX could be is 3GB, and I know it didn't completely fill all four discs. There was barely anything on Disc 4.
It's episodic so that they can get more money, get content out faster, and not hinder the scope of the original game in a remake.
It also helps that they have a co-developer, so the game won't take lifetimes of various species before it gets out of the door.

I just mean that in scope will be a smaller title than kh3 and thus why it's episodical with supposed tight releases between one and the next episode. It's all about scope. Itll have all the flashy graphics you expect but on a title smaller in scale than your typical square Enix Rpg. It's also IMHO a testing ground for an episodicAl release of a future main title. I still think aaa jrpgs have a natural evolution into episodic releases. The genre fits perfectly and will also help SE staying relevant with constant releases instead of investing 4-5 yrs everytime for a main entry. If ff7r it's successful I bet 16 will follow.

Just remembered that the sequel to Type-0 is still maybe a thing. Wonder if we will ever see it again.

Didn't Tabata precisely say that Type-1 wasn't a thing?
Reposting from the older thread, what i think (and hope) will go down at the event:
C'mon SE you've been working well the past few years to regain our trust, don't fail us right now with slme bogus announcements!

Sadly, Vita cards are only 4GB. It's a shame.
I think S-E is trying this episodic RPG model right now with Mobius and Brave Exvius on mobile. One of which is doing it pretty poorly, as you can tell they've padded it out for length.
I'm not sure how they can accomplish it in the AAA space. The mobile games show it as one title with updates. VIIR is a series of $60 games. How does content get carried over? Do you get Samus Aran'd two times if it's a three part trilogy?
The closest example they have of this bridging of titles if XI and XIV, but they're all centered on one player account as MMOs. VIIR has an issue as someone may pick up part three without playing one and two.
Unless some other group in SE or outside developer is working on it since it's not Tabata team working on it, hell he basically said it's not being worked on.
That implies enough people at SE cares about those
Or you want budget titles like Star Ocean 5 and the new Saga game.
I had thought they'd come out with 8GB cards at some point. It's hard to imagine that World of Final Fantasy fit on a 4GB card.
And even if it did, they could always release it digital-only. They've done that with other titles.

No clue at all just remembered that teaser for it

I care. That's all that matters. S-E must obey my desires.
FFVII is 2 gig on mobile. 1.5 gig on PC.
FFIX is 3.8 gig on mobile. 7 gig on PC.
UE4 is the only reason why I believe in Nov 2017, first six months of 2018 is the more sensible window.
yes
Right, that's for the remasters. If they do a Vita collection, I could see them using the original versions, since unlike the PS4 it runs them natively. Or, like I said above, they could do a digital-only release.
Squenix love making teasers for games that will never come out.
Off the top of my head:
The World Ends With You 2
Birth By Sleep 2
FF Type -1
(I know we are kind of getting Birth by Sleep 2 in KH2.8)
The size of the PS Classics for PSP are: 1.7gig, 1.5gig, and 1.5gig. Still larger than the Vita 4gig cart limit. I don't think anyone has ever released Vita cards larger than 4gig. PSO2 fits in a 4gig card and makes you download an extra 1.2gig of data to play it for example. Lol.

Are there additional downloads for games like WoFF and X/X-2 HD? I can't imagine either of those titles fitting on a 4GB card. Even the original non-remastered FFX by itself would have been several GB. Though I do see that X-2 is a download on the Vita version.

I have decided I want them to say the XII Remaster is "available now on PSN...next week at retail and next month on Steam". Totally realistic
I would imagine relatively meaty info on VIIR is due.
if the event is japan only i doubt they will have anything substantial

Yes because there aren't any other things that could delay it like Nomura trying to develop multiple games at once.
FFX/X-2 HD are two different cards on Vita. 3.3gig each. I think they cheaped out for the US version and FFX is on card, and X-2 is a download code. Lol.
WoFF is 3.9 gig on Vita and the voice packs are separate downloads at 600+ meg each for EN and JP.
Huh, interesting. Well, if additional downloads are that commonplace of a practice for Vita games to circumvent the card limit, they could always do the same for an anniversary collection. It wouldn't have to be a very large extra download, just a couple more GB.
Of course, all this is just speculation about the collection being technically feasible on Vita, notwithstanding whether I think it will actually happen on Vita (or at all).

Apparently they are already using assets from FFVIIR in MobiusFF in a JP event.
And they're using assets from XV in VIIR. Animations, more precisely.
Mobius appears to be pretty heavy in the asset usage from other games. I got a very strong Koji Igarashi vibe by seeing models from other titles and how they're used to fill up the game. Many of the unique models I thought made for it happened to be from XIV, like the Golem.
My dream scenario is opening the show seemingly too early, with a janitor mopping the stage.
A spotlight will hit him.
He'll mop a little more, then look up to reveal...
Hiroyuki Ito. Ripping off his janitorial clothes male-stripper style, he'll launch straight into the reveal of the turn-based, Agni's Philosophy FFXVI.

Yeah I know. But I found it strange that they used assets from a game that hasn't released yet. Maybe the release date is really next year.And they're using assets from XV in VIIR. Animations, more precisely.

I would love this. That's so "Zidane in FFIX intro sequence" lol
Everything looks good in that list aside from one thing, FFXIV has it's own fenfests for announcements so They will not announce it then. also XBO version is not likely - at all.

Nomura agrees with you IIRC. He wanted something to be done for Vand VI since they skipped them in the remake order to do VII first.
Oh shoot i forgot about the XIV fanfest!
And i thought SE was looking into getting cross-play between Sony and MS?
As far as I know Yoshida said it's on ms's court.
also, I don't think it's smart from a business point of view to release it on xbo at this time, because they have already missed an expansion, most of the people who want to play the game are already on ps4 or pc. but who knows.
If only Microsoft would budge.

Yes please. Final Fantasy on handhelds were so good, and I'll mostly be using my Switch in handheld mode, so give us VII and onwards please SE but then also stuff the Vita didn't get.
