Well yeah it was obvious it would need to be more than one game and yet SE is undermining their own narrative in this "we have to make it episodic so that we wont have to cut anything" to "lets add a bunch of fluff to midgar that wasnt in the original to extend the lenght".
But whatever the game already looks insane and if they can pull off a better longer midgar and make it interesting... maybe it works.

Is the title of the game definitive? I mean, if you call it "FFVII Remake", shouldn't it be the remake of the whole game? Sounds quite misleading to me.

Apply the remako hd mod before you start. You can thank me later.

The 'New Threat' mod is pretty neat as well.

Apparently, Kitase said "dual-layer Blu-ray disc." Someone mistranslated it to "2 Blu-ray discs" along the way.

Maybe the second disc is just a placebo?

The second disc is the friends we made along the way.

I now believe this game will be 4 parts.
Part 1 - Midgar through Motor Cycle Chase (ends with the group staring out at the vast landscape)
Part 2 - Outskirts of Midgar/Kalm area. End at Golden Saucer or Rocket Town.
Part 3 - Golden Saucer or Rocket Town - North Crater/Weapons explosion
Part 4 - Time Jump after North Carter - End.
I just see no way to do this as 3 parts given Midgar at best was 15% of the original game. Its going to be so lopsided if Midgar is insane huge but places like Juno are super condenced and tiny.
My even bigger fear now is that this might not even be 3 or 4 parts, but TONS of mini parts, like 8 - 10 parts slowly released. Creating the most disjointed pile of shit ever.

I’m wondering if they will just keep stretching it out if it is hugely profitable.
1 or 2 games is ideal. 3 is starting to stretch it. Beyond that is just way too much.

Cross posting from another thread but I don't get this marketing campaign at all.

Weird how nothing says "part 1" anywhere. Just remake.

Most likely the second BluRay is dedicated to the additional Gb of application data, as was the case with RDR2.
From my point of view, I think it's likely that Final Fantasy VII Remake can have about 3/4 parts.
(about a year of maximum release distance for each of them)
Furthermore, each of these parts can consist of 2 or more BluRays.
This means that the game will be divided in a very narrative way, probably.
(creating real new narrative arcs for the characters, and for the lore of the game, but keeping as a base the classic story of Final Fantasy VII)
I hope all the parts come out on PS4 at least.
So that you don't have to divide an already divided experience even on other different platforms.

5 years later and we're only getting midgar when is the rest ~80% of the game going to be done 
by 2035?
i dont trust the quality of all the parts being the same and also they might just give up making all the parts if its taking too long or losing popularity from one part to the next
the way they're only calling it final fantasy 7 remake a lot of people will be fooled into thinking its the whole game (probably squares intention) and be disappointed when it only ends at midgar

You right, it was the Forgotten Capital.

Midgar is definitely the hardest part but in the meantime they will probably expand some cities to larger scale. Wutai was pretty small. Along with other town.

so hows the leveling gonna work for this? is everyone gonna be level 99 before part 2 comes out because they just grind out of boredom after beating the game?

I mean there was nothing stopping you from doing that in the original
Final Fantasy VII Player Hits Level 99 In The First Reactor
Over the weekend, a Final Fantasy VII player who goes by the handle CirclMastr got Cloud and Barret to level 99, which isn’t particularly impressive. What’s impressive is that he did it before the game’s first boss battle.

that is true but at least in the original you could move forward with the story whereas here, you are stuck in midgar until part 2 comes out

They can still call the subsequent episodes Final Fantasy VII-2, VII-3, etc.

Yeah I know I'm just fuckin around. My guess is some sort of level cap or something. They are going to have to figure out what to do with money and items too, now that I think about it.

Red Dead 2 had 2 discs, so I'd prefer 2 discs, compared to just 1 disc and then a massive download.
Crazy to think they are making Midgar into a full length game, cannot wait to see all the extra stuff and changes they are making.

Second disc just contains the nudes of the staff.But the images of the official pre-orders clearly show the presence of 2 BluRays in the game pack.

It will be interesting to see how many parts will be divided.
And also how many new contents will be added to history, characters and Lore

This game is beginning to remind me of Star Citizen.
