OH SHIT
Guys, I just realized something. The reason why this is going to be a full length game isn't because they are adding a ton of content, it's because all the dialogue will take forever with voice acting. Think about it, even if you read really quickly segments like Tifa's bar take a good while, but with properly paced synchronization is going to take ages. This game will make MGS4 seem reasonable.
>Guys, I just realized something. The reason why this is going to be a full length game isn't because they are adding a ton of content
It's both. They're adding content + it was always going to be and feel bigger due to voice acting, 3d environments instead of simple pre-rendered backgrounds with fixed camera, larger scale of rooms to accommodate the bigger scale of the characters (cause think about it, some areas were just a simple screen that you'd pass by once and it took you like 4 seconds to do so, that's not gonna fly in the remake) and many other similar reasons.
Only retards don't understand why they had to split the game.
Im just worried and yhe world map. For i stance on disc 3 at the end of the game, you could still go back and explore everything on the map aside from midgar i think.
Since these will be seperate releases will that still be possible?
no the 3rd release will lock you into the last 4 areas of the game and it will be 4 hours long with no post game, it will even lock you out of the gold saucer. Fagtard.
they're clearly splitting it to milk it,dumb niggers,this is square's biggest ip and it's stock even rose up considerably the day they showed ffvii remake in 2015's e3,be glad they didnt turn this into a mobile gacha yet
Honestly, as much as I despised the choice to split in it three initially, and it's still kinda scummy, ultimately when all three parts are released, assuming they are done properly, i.e. do justice to the original game while expanding the scope like they said, the complete package of all three would simply surpass anything square has ever made and actually make everyone happy another 5 years after the "we paid $180 for 1 game split in 3" passes and we're only judging the complete release.
>properly paced
nomura cutscenes are anything but, and will take even longer
so you finally realized this remake is a stupid fucking idea then
they aren't trying to milk you dumb nigger, otherwise they would have just done a lazy, cheap as fuck cashgrab remake with everything the same and just update graphics with a dev cycle of less than 2 years instead of 6 and then it would be way less polarizing due to having turn based combat and being 1 release which means it would sell more for less.
Now they're doing a very risky project that has 50% chance of ever being finished if anything goes wrong, with 6 year long dev cycle for just part 1 that is guaranteed to not make its money back unless it sells 15 million copies and then part 2 will sell even less as is the norm for FF sequels and part 3 even less than that.
They're either gonna cancel it midway or just bite the pillow and lose money on it.
Whatever the case, you're retarded and ignorant.
People still dont get it
MIDGAR WILL HAVE ITS OWN PLOT
STOP THINKING ABOUT METEOR OR ANCIENTS OR SEPHIROTH
ITS SHINRA
SHINRA IS THE MAIN VILLAIN
They are going to end it in nibelheim
It's going to be episodic because Tita's tits are too big to contain
Wrong. That involves modelling the overworld which they will undoubtedly save for the second game.
Kalm is right next to Midgard. They are just going to cut it for that segment.
Nibelheim isn't even close to Midgar or Kalm. Even Gold Saucer and Cosmo Canyon come before that.
There's way too much shit in between Midgar and Nibelheim. Not gonna happen.
I meant the flashback numbnuts
Game is already confirmed to end right after the escape.
Also, it's Midgar not Midgard, you goddamn simpleton.
You guys are aware this is going to be shit right?
>ending the game with a flashback
Not even Square would pull off such bullshit. For starters, that'd mean no final boss
Provide proof fagoid
Breaking it up into parts is pure fucking greed, and anyone who thinks differently is a shill or retarded.
I anything, the second game will start with the flashback, and finish with Nibelheim.
They will just make you fight sephiroth
If anything*
And make you lose?
Yes
I want to be optimistic and think that it was a middleground that the suits above and the devs worked out. The project needed shit loads of time and funding given how ambitious they needed the "FFVII remake emergency button" to be and what it needed to live up to, but the suits told them that the amount of funds they requested needed to be put into three projects, not one. So we end up where we are now.
do your own research you retarded ape, i am not spoon feeding you. They flat out said at E3's presentation and reiterated 3 times in 3 different interviews.
But they didn't.
"the game will cover the events up to the escape from Midgar and will have 2 Blu rays worth of gameplay content"
Straight up from Kitase's mouth live at E3.
The game can't end near the end of Midgar because during the trailer they have a scene from Cloud's flashback of Nibelheim regarding Sephiroth so I think it's more accurate to say the game may end at the Kalm flashback which is still way less world than I'd like to see.
That's my last (you), take it, retard.
> a scene from Cloud's flashback of Nibelheim regarding Sephiroth
except he is in Midgar and it's a completely new scene, not a flashback from Nibelheim. Cloud is clearly seeing shit through out the entire part 1 in Midgar.
No, give me more
Nah. That is clearly nibelheim
"“Before we actually started working on this, we knew it was going to be a large amount of content,” said producer Yoshinori Kitase in an E3 interview. "When we started out planning the plot for the first game, it hit us again... at that point, we decided we were going to focus the first game on just Midgar and what happens in Midgar."
I still can't believe that it took them over half a decade to remake what is essentially the intro of the original. At this rate they're going to to have to remake the remake by the time they are done with the entire game.
Semiannual reminder that FFXIII trilogy could have been a single FF if not for cutscene bloat
>FF7
>very risky
Ok retard
>ff7
>a game that can do rdr2/spiderman/monhun world numbers to off set 6 years of AAA development
lmao, XV is literally the fastest selling FF with 9 million copies since its release and it's still less than the above mentioned games.
Only games that sell 10+ million copies in their release year can be considered successful with a 6 year long dev cycle and FF simply isn't a series that does such numbers, they've never achieved it and never will.
Also part 2 is guaranteed to sell less than part 1. If you can't see how risky what they're doing with this remake is you're literally retarded.
>only games that sell 10+ million copies with 6 year dev cycles are sucessful
Citation needed.
even garbage like XV managed to sell almost 11 million its at 10.9 million now.
The best selling most known FF remaster isnt going to have any trouble breaking 10+ million each part unless its completely fucked.
>10.9 million now
no it's not, it was at 8.4 million less than half a year ago. It's 9m right now at the absolute best.
Also, it took 3 years, multiple re-releases and multiple price cuts and deals to make it sell that much.
6 years of AAA dev costs can't be covered with that. It needs to sell 10 million at full price in less than a year in order to not be a risky project.
Fucking Tomb Raider sold 5 million at launch with a $100 million budget and was considered a failure.
Just Cause 4 sold 4.7 in less than a year with nowhere near that budget and was considered a failure.
10 million copies in 3 years is garbage for such costly and lengthy dev cycles.
Are they considering it a failure because it didn't sell a million bajillion copies which is an actual phenomenon in the gaming industry or because it was an actual financial flop
Also realized i was looking at XIV not XV my bad, still garbage that managed to sell crazy well.
>they're not trying to milk it
Jesus fucking christ you're retarded. They've squeezed everything out of ff7 that they can over the last 22 years and now they need to reload for another 20 some years
>Are they considering it a failure because it didn't sell a million bajillion copies which is an actual phenomenon in the gaming industry or because it was an actual financial flop
They just didn't sell as much as they wanted them and made less money that they were projecting. Their financial reports for both stated that sales were underwhelming and is one of their reasons they showed very small profits in this fiscal year as KH3's success wasn't enough to cover for all 3 titles.
SE's dev and marketing costs are always super high, which is why i am saying, unless 7R does western game-tier numbers, it's not going to be a huge profit maker and i seriously doubt it will.
FF is big for a Japanese company, but that's all. Even games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone that are new IPs do the same numbers as mainline FFs.
milking the franchise =/= milking the remake
