Sounds like a realistic approach to me.Quick stuff from interviews
-they made multi-release since they would have to cut stuff out if they made it in one game. The detail of the game will be so dense, and you will be able to go to various locations within Midgar that you couldn't go before.
-there will be some stuff that has to be cut, but there will be lots of stuff added. overall volume will be big
-They are working with various companies outside, including CC2
-The battle system is real-time, action feel. The degree of action will be "Dissidia > Kingdom Hearts> FF7 remake" It will be more tactical.
-Although it's action style, it has ATB as well.
-You can control other party members, but you can keep control one if you want
-3 party members at a time like the original
So, they decided to release it in pieces so they didn't have to cut things, but they're going to cut things, but they're going to add things.
This is all making a lot of sense.
No they fucking wouldnt. Not if they did it right. If its a money issue, scrap 15 and make this right.
Weren't there critical plot events that happened at gold saucer?.
Nah, the people that actually liked the game enough to want it remade would've liked the old battle system because they liked the old game or herald it as the next coming of Christ.
Changing that into something damn near unrecognizable to the original gameplay is a "who the fuck is excited for this" type move. Clearly it isn't people who say it's their favorite game, because if it's their favorite game they wouldn't want the core gameplay mechanics so drastically altered.
You will when it's all complete.
Sigh...I'm trying to stay positive. But, yeah, it...doesn't sound ideal.
Hopefully it's merely elements that have to be cut due to them existing because of technical limitations or something. Elements totally outside their control, or elements not really belonging in this generation.
...I also really hope it's not Gold Saucer they're talking about.
I didn't have to wait who knows how many months/years between playing the different discs on the PSone version though.So, at first I was upset but now that I think about it, what if they just separate the game into 3 episodes coinciding with each disc? Personally I think that'd be a cool nod to the original.
Trying to compare an early 3D game with movement and stealth to turn based gameplay that is essentially timelessMGS1 is my favorite game of the MGS series (and one of my most favorite games of all time) and I loved its gameplay, and pretty much replay it every year. I consider MGSV to be one of the worst in the series for a variety of reasons but consider it to have really good gameplay.
If MGS1 was getting a full blown remake, I would definitely want it to control like MGSV rather than MGS1 and the environments enemy patterns etc reworked to fit with that style. While at the same time there'd be other fans for whom MGS1 is also their favorite game, who'd basically just want a graphical/performance upgrade to modern standards without any other changes made to the game.
The same holds true for FF7.
You're not the voice for everyone who considers this their favorite game. Express your frustrations sure, but don't try to act like you know or speak for all the "true" fans.
Yes, on two separate occasions during the first disc pivotal events occur here.
I think some of the minigames are probably on the chopping block, they'll take up way more resources nowadays.hm... kinda worried...
like, it'll be stuff that I want to see cut, replaced with stuff that I never want to see, like all that goofy genesis/crisis core stuff.
Excuse us for giving a shit.
Fuck no. I'd rather have them scrap the remake than XV. And this is coming from a hardcore FFVII fanboy.
Weird that the other translation seems to make out stuff is getting cut regardless, but this interview sounds more promising.
This was still announced in an incredibly stupid manner, but bar a large enough backlash there's not much you can do but hope all the episodes come together nicely and represent FFVII well.
Why some people are so afraid about the Gold Saucer? It's just a normal location with many mini games.
Only things at risk because of the multi release nature are the world map and backtracking.
They might compensate with bigger towns with more stuff to do in it.
Afterall many of FFVII locations were pretty small, often made of a couple of main pre-rendered backgrounds.
Why?
Square hasnt given me any reason to believe 15 will be good. I guess the MMO is going well so that's cool. But the 13 series was a joke.
If they keep the materia system, and have the whole thing released on this generation, all will be forgiven.
They likely just can't afford to be working on another FF game for a decade with 0 sales. Can't blame them for doing it this way with XV over their heads.No they fucking wouldnt. Not if they did it right. If its a money issue, scrap 15 and make this right. That game will prob be another letdown anyway.
Ugggh
Sorry if Im not being logical, Im fuming right now. They couldnt just fucking do it right, could they?
They wanna get paid asap to see if it's worth the investment at all time. I mean that's the company who sold put Tomb Raider as an exclusive on Xbox One so they could cash in some money while still developing the title.I don't understand why they would need to split it up. Can it really not fit on a single Blu-ray disc?
The Witcher 3 is a RPG where you run back & forth between a few different locations for a million times mostly completing repetitive monster hunting & ingredient fetching quests.

Not happening I am sure. Episodic nature of the game will eliminate that possibility. Highwind will be there as fast travel like ffx-2 airship.World Map
Airship
Golden Saucer
Are all dealbreakers imo. All 3 are vitally important to the game and its tone and are things I could see them thinking are "removable"
Those 3 have to stay

Missing the point completely.
lol
troll more.
Well, FFXIII had an amusement park with no amusements.
I wonder what kind of stuff has to be cut.
What did the trailer show?
CG (that is very nice but we've honestly seen better)
A hallway (where Cloud can shimmy and duck)
A city street (with maybe something to the right)
A plaza for battle (LOOK! Gameplay!)
I predict that Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be Life is Strange meets:
Still could be cool.

My concern is that this makes it not really seem like an RPG to me anymore. In part 2 will we be back at level 1 or will our save carry over? What if people only buy part 2?
If the overworld is gone, people gonna be furious.
Sounds like a realistic approach to me.
As long as they can maintain a solid release schedule this could be a good thing. Those who can't wait for the game to be fully developed can jump in early and play it on an episode-by-episode basis. Those who can wait will get to play a fully-realized, content-rich remake in the end.
You could always grab that remaster if you want to play FF7 again with nicer graphics.You have no point, I have never seen a worse analogy in my life.
It's taking them forever to release a decent game.I don't understand why they would need to split it up. Can it really not fit on a single Blu-ray disc?
Dude, the gameplay may be timeless in your eyes but that just means you're certainly stuck in time.
Basically. This is the episode where Squeenix kisses my ass.Guess I'll wait for the "Complete Season".
The only "CG" in that trailer were the cuts from the announcement trailer, the new cutscenes were real-time.
Solid release schedule? good joke bruhSounds like a realistic approach to me.
