ok
how they're going to keep this train rolling consistently past the perfectly contained linear midgar intro is beyond me. they're just cashing in.
Yeah what a fucking stupid idea
>game series broken up into multiple games = "episodic"
This is like calling Devil May Cry "episodic" because it has 4 sequels.
it's gonna make MILLIONS of dollars, how does that make you feel?
>episodic
I wish, that would at least imply brevity and consistency.
Right now we're doomed to 8 hours of OG content stretched into 30 hours every 3 years or so.
episodic
second game sells worse than the first and the third never comes out
That's a stupid comparison. Episodic gives the wrong impression, but FFVII R being split into multiple parts isn't the same as a series getting sequels.
Just don't pick it up until it is all out
they convert each region/continent into a FFXV-esque experience and then reuse all assets for the final part
OH JEEZ I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY 2 HOURS GAME, THEN WAIT 10 YEARS FOR PART 2 FOR KALM TO CHOCOBO RANCH, THEN ANOTHER 10 YEARS FOR PART 3 JUST HAVING MIDGAR ZOLOM, JUST FOR ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
FUCK LIFE IS STRANGE, FUCK SQUEENIX
and then release everything as a single thing on the PS6
This is exactly what's going to happen, most people dont even finish games.
This, look at what happened to FFXIII
> FF13 (800 Million Grossed)
> FF13-2 (200 Million Grossed)
> FF13-3 (78 Million Grossed)
now, to be fair FFXIII being a massive turd was a big factor.
didnt know ff7 was on the same level as FFXIII
So was FFXV & KH3, FF7 is made by Nu-SE so it's going to be equally as terrible
Dont quote me with that. It hurts my narrative.
graphicwhoring have ruined video games
ff7 should have never been remade and video games should never have gone past gen 6 graphics
>first part is just set in the most iconic setting of the game
picked the fuck up
>FFXV
see, people here didn't like it but nobody gives a crap about Yea Forums, whether FFXIII is universally hated
FFXV is the lowest grossing mainline FF game since FF2, not counting FF13 spin offs.
I don't mind if the game is split up into multiple parts (hell, the original was across 3 discs).
I'm just worried how they'll things like Cloud's mental outbreaks or most of Cid's early character.
Pic unrelated (I just want to see this said man)
>how they'll things like Cloud's mental outbreaks
How they'll handle* things like...
Thanks grammar I hate you too
>FFXV is the lowest grossing mainline FF game
I'm looking at the vgsales chart, which I know is a terrible source, and your claim seems factually incorrect, please provide a source if you can
not only
>episodic
but also
>ff15 style battle system
and
>modern day enix
yeah this is a hard drop for me too
You are counting the mobile game tied to FFXV, that's why your numbers are innaccurate
>the original was across 3 discs
The fuck does that have to do with it being episodic? Those 3 discs all came out at the same time and you get them all as one game.
Unironically this, late-PS2 graphics were pretty good. Fuck muh realism, Rogue Galaxy still looks good today.
>He thinks voting with his wallet meand anything
Eh, fair enough.
If part 1 is enough to fit a whole 30 hour game then it's not a huge problem to me.
I'm just worried how much padding they'll have to add for just the first part to last as long as the entire length of the original game.
Could be really cool where they go more indepth with certain aspects, or cram it full of minigames like gold saucer.
It looks like Cloud is going to be even more fucked in the head this time around.
Who the hell wanted 30 hours of Midgar? The most exciting part is when you finally get out of Midgar.
no, FFXV Pocket and even Windows are listed as their own things lower in the list but the OG release is above even X, VIII, VI and XIII
If that's true, that actually sounds cool.
While I loved the story of the original, I didn't like how sudden his "chaoticness" happened.
He was fine for awhile then it just happened out of nowhere, even after being somewhat close to sephiroth in the shinra building.
>cram it full of minigames like gold saucer.
>turn Midgar into Kamurocho
WE YAKUZA NOW BOYS
7 part 1: 2020
7 part 2: 2028
7 part 3: 2037
I’ll be middle aged by the time this shit is done. I don’t give enough of a fuck to stay interested for that long. 7 isn’t even my favorite ff game.
I’ll wait for the complete collection with all dlc edition for PS7.
hahaha :)
That better be true
If we don't get a recreation of this scene but with Cloud and the gang by 100%ing the game then I want my money back
Didn't they say the first episode is just Midgar? as i recall, that's only about 8-10 hours in the original game.
yes but they're extending it
I seriously question the mental faculties of anyone who didn't immediately realize this was going to be FFVII: Advent Children Rewrite.
All the comedy will be scrubbed out for a squeaky clean emo stick boy moping about how he's too cool for school and whatever. No Don Corneo, no crossdressing squat battles for wigs, no girly fistfight on a cannon, no Red XIII bumbling around in a Shinra uniform, no Palmer getting truck'd while fleeing from battle, no golden saucer play shenanigans. Hell, they probably won't let you ride the 2 person cart with anyone but the three girls, if they even put it in period.
>every 3 years or so
I wish I had your optimism
why are this threads always filled with uninformed people who have news from 2015
>No Don Corneo
they already said the whole side quest will be in
Dont. It hurts his narrative.
>Movie game
And dropped.
>no Palmer getting truck'd while fleeing from battle
I completely forgot this happened and now I'm even more excited to see this play out
And it'll be totally scrubbed of comedy.
You've already played the game?
I'm worried we wont get a conclusion because if 1000 people buy the first game but only 300 people finish it that means only 300 people will buy the second game and makes unlikely we will get a 3rd. Only 32% of people who played skyrim finished the main quest line.
because, believe it or not, a ton of retards on this board unironically only get their news from Yea Forums, so they're unable to filter the lies
Existing VII mods literally address 90% of the issues with the original. Remake is a superfluous, indulgent cashgrab.
Disagreement calls into question what you loved about the original in the first place.
>episodic
>director has no idea what to do after the first game
Let's just enjoy this 6/10 "remake"
I'll be 47 when part 3 comes out, damn
What lies?
XV was panned pretty hard amongst series fans. DmC got reviewed well too.
It's a shame because LR is the best FF since VII.
That's worrying too.
Hopefully it doesn't come to that, and LOTS of people buy disc 1.
Then enough people buy disc 2 to convince square "Hey we made enough of a profit to where we should go ahead and pump out disc 3" Surely they're also aware that some people will only buy it once all 3 (or however many there are) parts are out.
Or another scenario, Part 1 is taking so long because it's the only super long part. Midgar took up most of the original game so I wouldn't be surprised if Midgar (and trying to make it 30 hours somehow) is the reason it's taking so long to release. while the rest of the game would go much more smoothly/quicker to release.
Finally a person of sense. Graphix fags die...only after we destroy all the esports niggers. Framerate is leagues more important than graphics. NGC/ps2/xbox or wii/ps3/xbox 360 era graphics are more than fine for any game that isn't hyper realistic trash...till 3d games were 60fps standard..at min..if not 120. THEN we can go higher on pixel density.
t. life long nintendofag. eat my ass you douchenozzles.
poor choice of words, wanted to say shitposting and misinformation, because they keep regurgitating old news or rumors that no longer apply
>XV was utter shi-
learned this one the hardway
not much emotion honestly
I'm looking at its current user metascore and while not amazing it is positive.
I was just asking because I figured maybe something changed with how they plan to release the game.
Based (((Adam Sandler))) selling shit to goys, no idea how he does it so well but its impressive.
How can you live in such denial, user?
Midgar is the best part of the game. Of course it makes sense to expand on that and make an entire game out of it.
we have no idea how they plan to release the game because not even the producer knows.
All we know is that the game that's coming out next year is just Midgard expanded with new shit.
Maybe as far as locations go. The actual best part of the game is Cloud's story arc, which only partially unfolds in Midgar.
the bastards aren't even calling it part 1, I wonder how many people will buy the game thinking they're getting the full thing
better yet
>final episode is next gen only
>you can't buy only that part, you have to get all the episodes as a bundle for $100+
and peopel will gladly play for it
Hello, I work on FF7
Game not end in Midgard, but a bit further you will be full of surprise
Hope everybody like the easter eggs in the junkyard!
>adding Sector 0 and Omega Weapon as a bonus dungeon/boss
please say sike
This is the equivalent of them making an FFVIII Remake that only covers Balamb and Dollet, only that would at least get the satisfying conclusion of you becoming a team leader through adversity in a war zone, graduating and dancing with a qt at the end.
This has only a lame cliffhanger waiting for you at the end.
Is the Easter egg a 3D version of that tifa video
>remake is literally 1/4 of the first disc only, if that
>not episodic
ok retard
I'm buying it but definitely not at full price. First part is gonna be short as fuck, no content, no replay value and a shit ton of cut-scenes is what it's gonna be.
Nothing wrong with a cliffhanger ending.
You remind me of this shit I took once. Unimportant and pointless.
FFXV is closing in to 10 millions and most FF don't even sell 4.
sure, but the're gonna have to pull some bullshit out of their hats to make an interesting cliffhanger out of Midgard because people don't know who Sephiroth is and they can't spill all the beans with the hallucinations.
20-year-old stories are precluded from having cliffhangers.
Lord of the Rings did it.
>people don't know who Sephiroth is
twenty years later Sephiroth is still in like the two twenty Googled video game characters in Japan
yes and that was deliberate, now look at what they did to the hobbit movies with their forced cliffhangers
user, if you're retelling a story and part of its weight depends on the people already being familiar with the original you are a shitty storyteller.
So I work at Square Enix?
>This is the equivalent of them making an FFVIII Remake that only covers Balamb and Dollet
No because the narrative is different. Try again.
yes, congratulations
aaand dropped
part 2 will start with cloud and sephiroth on the truck
Fuck, I can imagine Balamb island being expanded with more settlements, living the life of a student in ca comfy island setting.
If it bombs there will only be one episode. If Square were to go all in on a game like this they will go bankrupt.
Yeah, this seems to be the easy way to do it.
no, I quite like the comparison
Might as well just make it linear at that point and not even have an overworld.
I've spent hundreds of hours in Skyrim and have yet to finish the main quest. This comparison doesn't work so well because Skyrim is more open ended.
who said they're even making an overworld?
>FFXV is closing in to 10 millions
which means nothing if it makes a low profit.
10 years of dev time, making assloads of DLC out of gutted story content, and making trails that aren't even in the game (like Omen) costs money
Ff7 without an openly bare fantastic overworld isn't ff7
Not really. FF7 divides its story in three parts: MIdgar/Shinra, Sephiroth chase, and meteor.
FF8 story divides itself in two parts: Edea and utilmecia.
Game doesn't change its focus when you graduate.
the shitty overworld is part of the fun
it emphasizes the planet part
make the game a wide hallway just like the original. The game was never open world so there's no need to.
This
Dont worry, most of the dev costs for FF7-2 will go into a PSVR exclusive mode that is an isolated chapter not connected to the main story at all
again, please provide a source to your claims of bad profits
Sandler is the least Jewy Jew unless you consider ripping off other Jews to get a ton of money for movies that he casts his friends in as a bad thing
>Yuffie is revealed
>is hotter than Tifa and Aeris combined
Picked up.
There will be a demo released this week. Cap this.
we are probably going to get a demo during september after TGS
>Game doesn't change its focus when you graduate.
except it does? you learn about Edea after Timber, which switches gear into anti-witch mode.
you just want to win the argument by simplifying the plot but Midgard and Balamb/Dollet serve as first acts.
SE cited a $33 million LOSS when they cancelled the second story season pass of XV and kicked Tabata out
and of course FFXV was the reason of the heavy losess? no underperforming western divisions who made some big games that tanked?
Hope her and Red have cool playstyles. I want my team back.
Not him but what did those western divisions even make? All that springs to mind this gen were Quiet Man, some ghost detective game, and Tomb Raider sequels/Deus Ex.
wait when did Red have a Charmander tail
Pretty sure his tail was always meant to be a fireball.
ya just know, etc
I'll just wait for the inevitable package deal once all of them get released, honestly. Shame, really. Was kind of looking forward to playing ff7 without its boring shitty turn based combat.
It's going to be .hack/xenosaga episodic, not telltale episodic.
As long as it's an actual fucking hundred hour game like they've been saying it will be then they'll be fine. Hopefully there's a soft level cap where enemies can only give 1 EXP or some shit like that, because you just know that some autist is going to sit down and try to hit level 99 on this first part
Trails in the sky system to transfer data and level caps should be alright in the remake. Im looking forward to it.
They're all idiots for buying into bad practices.
Don’t forget the Basedny approved Tifa
absolutely, they're definitely based for approving the superior Tifa
Oh no, how will they ever survive with 50 million copies sold -1?
whos that
Only good thing to come of this is that in 10 years from now, assuming they turn out actually good, when all three "episodes" are sold together it will potentially be the most faithful and best treatment they could have given FFVII.
Lol, that just means it'll be easier to buy for me.
I love adam Sandler, I grew up watching his movies.
