Paperclyp Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I still think there’s a very real possibility this will be the remake. Wouldn’t shock me if they never got to the rest of it. It just doesn’t make a lot of sense if they’re going to space it out. There’s too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 The fact this is some piecemeal shit has me insanely disinterested in this entire affair and the original was huge for me back in the day. It's even better that the cover doesn't even qualify the fact it's not a fucking full game. Where's "Volume I" or just anything denoting this is not a full game? And what's the price point? Is it $59.99 now, play the complete product MAYBE, if ever, in 2038? Can you get a refund when it doesn't get finished on PS10 or if you can't play it because you got fucking advanced arthritis by the time it's complete?

Greatoneshere Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Square Enix's rebuttal to "it's not a full game" is that "Episode 1" is still a 20+ hour open world game or something, I believe. We'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's strange too, because Square Enix currently has no other announced in-house games that they're making other than this and the Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles remaster. Literally, that entire giant company is making no other games presently (they are publishing other developers' games, but I'm talking in-house at Square Enix). So I have no idea what's going on over there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I mean . . . what are all their in-house studios doing? I'm genuinely asking haha. With Dragon Quest XI, Dragon Quest Builders II, Romancing SaGa 3 and SaGa: Scarlet Grace - Ambitions all out (even in the US), all they have left are the two games I mentioned in my earlier post. So . . . yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Well now we know why they justify this as a full price game, look at that dart mini game! Now I got the church music stuck in my head, which I guess isn't a bad thing. I really hope they can manage to pull this off and not fuck it all up. Also, put FF1-6 and tactics out on PSN/XBL already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legend Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 If the game is as good as it seems from their more recent videos, the fact of the matter is I'll gladly pay for each individual piece. Yeah, it's more than other games cost all put together, but I also inherently value this more. So Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I'll buy it if there is enough content at a high enough quality to justify a purchase. I put 20 hrs or less into Control and Outer Worlds, and I expect Fallen Order to only last something below that, and I think those were all worth the price of admission. Just because I know there is more story doesn't mean the game won't be worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have no idea what's going on over there. I mean, nothing announced, but i'm sure their in house teams are still pretty busy. SE has large teams working on very few games for the last decade or so. And this game looks like a massive undertaking, no doubt with multiple teams working on separate chapters of the game. Its not simply an update of FFVII, I would think that if SE is truly serious about staying true to the game, they are gone all in on making sure it's perfect. Whether or not you love the game, its hard to doubt that FFVII will be the most important game in the legacy of the company. They aren't going to chance screwing this up, and they are expecting absolutely insane sales numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Part 2 is being developed currently Quote When you think of the Midgar final boss, you will probably think of the M.O.T.O.R, but in this game, new bosses will appear and add to the excitement of the story even more. We’ve already begun working on the next one right now, but I’m confident that playing through this title will expand your expectations just like the world that extends beyond Midgar I've been of the opinion that as long as this feels like multiple full-length games, then it'll easily justify the purchase.

I'm with you and most people that the value will be there regardless of "Episode 1" or "Chapter 1" but no, they are a giant game studio and they're making 2 games? Doesn't make sense to me, even if they've shifted (I'm sure) staff to help work on the remake. I agree that I expect a flood of game announcements all at once because they haven't announced truly new games done in-house in awhile (like, years). In fact, all they've been doing is cutting back, and opening Luminous Productions/Studio and then immediately losing Hajime Tabata (the head of the new studio) couldn't have helped. I look forward to the remake either way, 7 wasn't the best RPG ever or anything for me but I enjoyed the game, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Oh good, the guy responsible for the soap operatic anime cliche bullshit in Final Fantasy X, X-2, and the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy (Motomu Toriyama directed all 5 games) has now joined on as co-director of the Final Fantasy VII remake (alongside Tetsuya Nomura). https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-11-26/ffxiii-motomu-toriyama-joins-final-fantasy-vii-remake-as-co-director/.153695 Man, I miss Yasumi Matsuno, Hajime Tabata, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Tetsuya Takahashi, etc. I don't think this will ruin VII Remake, but I really do not like Motomu Toriyama and Tetsuya Nomura is a GREAT designer and director but not a great storyteller or writer of dialogue.

Bacon Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I gladly won't pay for each individual piece. I either get it all for $60 or i won't get it all.
