Final Fantasy VII Remake OT - Big Trouble in Little Midgar

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?

Epic marketing spin. 10/10. 

 

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.

The whole thing is baffling, brazen and offensive in equal measures.

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. :p

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.

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.

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.

Part 2 is being developed currently

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.

They have people working on new content for one of the most popular MMOs currently available FF XIV.

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).

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.

FF X-2 wasn't soap opera it was Charlie's Angels.

Yuna being hung up on Tidus the whole game was certainly soap opera and many other parts were too. It was also Charlie's Angels. I actually like X-2 more than X because the gameplay is better despite both games' stories being garbage.
