Surprised there's no thread about this:
http://epicstream.com/news/Final-Fantasy-VII-Remake-Will-Be-Multiple-Full-Sized-Games-Plots-May-Changed-Significantly
Square Enix has clarified the Final Fantasy VII Remake's episodic structure, saying that it will include multiple, full-sized games instead of smaller episodes.
In the latest issue of Game Informer, producer Yoshinori Kitase revealed the details, saying that the team was using Final Fantasy XIII series, which comprised of a total of three games, as a model.
"The reimagined epic will be the next core Final Fantasy instalment--or rather, instalments," Game Informer's writer says. "When the project was first announced, people were confused by its multi-part nature, but the goal is to structure it more like Final Fantasy XIII than an episodic series."
The development team are looking to structure it like FFXIII, with three full, 30+ hour JRPGs spun out of FFVII's original three discs.
"Whereas with Final Fantasy VII Remake, we already have a preexisting story, so it wouldn't really make sense if that isn't encompassed in a multi-part series... So if we're just looking at each of these parts, one part should be on par with the scale of one Final Fantasy XIII game."
you're a day late faggot
The day this got announced, I went out and bought a PS4.
Release date announcement when?
>>333433034
No tifa reveal don't care
>>333433132
>mfw it comes out for the PS5 instead
>>333433132
>he went and bought already obsolete no-gaems toy
>during the era when Square's pushing all their FF games on PC
top. fucking. kek!
>>333433280
Yeah, wouldn't that just beat all?
I originally bought the PS3 when that FF7 tech demo came out.
>c'mon guys, CLEARLY they're doing a remake for the PS3!
>they wouldn't make that whole thing and not release it
>>333433383
>a few hundred dollars means something to him
Calm down there, poorfag.
So is it now pretty much confirmed that the first whole game is going to be about midgar?
So, not really a remake at all then?
>>333433383
Woah.... Didn't know Final Fantasy XV was finally coming out for the PC. Mind sharing the details with us? Better do it quickly or I'm gonna post the full goldenface and get you BTFO.
>>333433034
An entire game that takes place in Midgar.
Followed by an entire game that takes place of the hunt for Sephy and Clouds "awakening".
Followed by an entire game about beating up the weapons, beating up Shinra, and beating up Sephy.
Sounds motherfuckin BOOORRRING.
>>333433583
Game #1 ends at leaving Midgar
Game #2 ends at Cloud getting fucked up by the lifestream
Game #3 finishes the game
Disc 1, 2, and 3 changed into FFVII: Avalanche, FFVII: Weapons, FFVII: Meteor.
Like pottery.
>>333433713
>he seriously thinks it's not inevitable
>SE even stated that they're looking into potential PC version mere days ago
>FF9 coming soon, XIII trilogy was a surprise hit on Steam, etc.
>>333433749
nah I could see Game #2 ending on a cliffhanger with Cloud getting fucked up.
Then Game #3 starts with Tifa as the main character
>>333433034
Welp, lost interest already. All these 30hr episodes will be 60 bucks each and reused assets everywhere. Screenshot this.
>>333433713
>Didn't know Final Fantasy XV was finally coming out for the PC.
yeah because that's so rare for a FF game to come to PC
>>333433871
>FFIX is coming soon
Nice meme
>20 years ago
>this game is too big for one disc, so we'll package 3 discs together and sell it
>today
>this game is too big for one disc, so we'll sell them separately
>>333433816
That doesn't make sense. That's like 75% of the game in the second installment.
They already have natural break points in the original release based on the discs. Each disc ended on a cliffhanger.
>>333433932
Sure, and maybe thats interesting but at the same time the series will end up frontloaded. The last game will be such a "Come the fuck on already!". No one will even -want- to sidequest.
>>333434043
They aren't just splitting up the disks, retard. They are making each section a full-size game. This is going to be an epic remake, I just hope it comes out on PC
>>333434065
>That's like 75% of the game in the second installment.
Well they said they're taking liberties with the story, so I expect a bunch of changes. Look, obviously the third disc of FFVII originally was pretty shit. I bet they're going to add a bunch of new stuff to make it better.
This is gonna be awesome imo
>>333433034
>The development team are looking to structure it like FFXIII
I'd like to make a point of the fact that I didn't fucking buy and of the FFXIII games either.
Or any of the Starcraft IIs.
Splitting content up into episodic chunks just for money is something I'll never get behind.
>>333433034
>Let's make the most beloved FF game more like the most hated FF game!
>What could go wrong!?
>>333434301
This exactly.
>>333434290
Disc 3 had all the fun mini-games and optional boss fights.
>episodic rpg
Who the fuck is retarded enough to actually want this?
>grind to level 99, but when you start ep 2 your level is lowered to what SE deem appropriate, or each ep has a level cap
>areas you visited in earlier episodes are unavailable in later ones
>no freedom in order of events e.g Yuffie quest at Wutai happens when SE says so, not when you choose to go there
>>333434145
Here is the reason video game industry is garbage. Because people like this just support every anti consumer thing showing devs they can get away with anything.
god damn why is /v/ so full of fucking whiners
get over yourselves
I'm still baffled by the way they're splitting FFVII up into different parts. It was always going to be a massive game to remake, but so massive it has to be split up three times? In what way are they making the remake that requires three totally separate entries?
I can see the appeal of exploring areas more and having a higher graphical fidelity, but I'd much rather just have the game remade to a reasonable graphical level with the same areas implemented in the same way. You can change the major bits of the game, but splitting it up is silly.
They're just trying to drag it out for more money, aren't they?
>tfw pre-release footage is better looking than the bullshot pre-downgrade XV
>tfw it's going to get downgraded to equally ridiculous levels
These consoles are pathetic.
Cloud will die instead of Aeris
Tifas tits will be shrunken even farther
3 maybe more games
You've already played it anyways
Who would be excited for this shit other than NeoFags?
>>333434473
>It was always going to be a massive game to remake
Except it isn't a massive game. It's just a regular jrpg. It's only 40 hours long. The only reason it was on 3 discs is because of FMV file size.
>>333434340
Except XIII was a huge hit in japland.
>>333434587
Those nips are fucked in the head though.
Should have bombed them harder.
>>333434340
I would suck liquid shit out of an Indian's asshole if someone put a FF7 sticker on it.
>>333434473
FF7 is a tiny game, even smaller than 4 and 6. They're going to pad the game out with optional content. Midgar will likely be fully explorable. The world map itself is probably going to be on the same kind of scale as XV, where you can seamlessly walk between cities.Zack's grave might be a landmark on the hills near midgar.
>>333434581
It's a massive game if you wish to open areas up more rather than have pre-rendered backgrounds. And if they want to make exploring the over-world similar to exploring in FFXV then it'd be an even more insane undertaking.
It's a big game as is, bigger if remade, and massive if remade in the style of FFXV. It still doesn't require three different entries just to make it.
>>333433871
>>333433953
Yea we just have to wait 2-3 more years to play the game right boys? I'm so hype :^)
anyone know who this qt is?
>>333434578
Oh Honey Bee Inn will be neutered as well
>>333434747
>it's a massive game if you make it into a completely different game full of unnecessary open empty space
Wow.
Will Nomura deliver?
>>333434578
I am. I'm very nostalgic for FF7, but at the same time I can tell how ff7 is a horrible game with zero challenge and fanfic grade writing that makes pc rpg scripts look professional. So, whatever it is, it's going to be better thsn the real ff7 and quite a bit more in line with how I remember it.
>>333434814
that's my gf so back the FUCK off
>>333434814
Skeleton-chan, she works for FROM Software
>>333434919
Yes, deliver a shit game.
>>333433034
I dropped it as soon as they said the combat is going to be action base like FF-XIII

I'm pretty fucking sure it won't happen the way they want it to happen and this is all talk

>>333433816
FINAL FANTASY VII 3
FINISH THE FIGHT
>>333433583
Thank god if so. Midgar was the only good thing about the whole ordeal.
>>333434884
Yes, and? That's exactly my point. I'm not a fan of FFXV's giant open world of nothing either. But if they do FFVII in that style then it will also be massive. And seeing as how they've basically turned it into an action game they certainly are on the path to making it into a completely different game.
>>333433034
I hope this is true to be honest. They are going to need to add a lot to the final game if this is the case.
>>333433034
>saying that the team was using Final Fantasy XIII series, which comprised of a total of three games, as a model.
NO
NO GOD NO
WHY
WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN WHAT DID WE DO
>we're gonna pad the shit out of it
thanks f@m
>>333433034
> with three full, 30+ hour JRPGs
WOOAAAHH A FULL 30 HOURS JRPG?
Are we fucking back to the snes days or what? Because the average length of a jrpg for the last 20 years is 50-60 hours. The last 30 hours games I played were Chrono Trigger and FFVI. Even FFVII was a good 60 hours game. Now with even more cinematics and voiced dialogue the game will actually be shorter than the 30 hours ffiv,v and vi games.
So yeah, those are not 3 full games when each one will be half as short as the original FF7. You are paying for 3 games, and getting 1.5 games. Scummy as fuck.
>people are complaining about the changes they're making to the game when the original was fucking terrible as well
Take what you can get guys, at least they're not remaking XIII
I'm gonna be waiting for the inevitable and a whole lot cheaper 'Compilation Edition' in which all of the parts have been blended into a seamless experience. Final Fantasy XV shall be more than enough until then.
>>333435187
Because XIII series somehow went on to recoup the costs, and became one of the higher grossing FF titles from what I recall. People keep buying the games, no matter what platform they're released on, and it helped that after the first game in the set, SE actually put some effort into fixing things.
>>333435393
Most JRPGs are only that long due to padding and 100% things. SE isn't going to sit there and make some bold claim about how long the game is for turbo-autists, when they're trying to just keep a realistic expectation for the common fans and media.
>>333435648
And FFVII will be padded with extra shit too. So we are talking about a 10 hours game probably when we account for that and voiced dialogue.
There no common fans. Each one of the 10m sales it get will be from turbo autists. Unless each game cost 30 bucks I dont see the appeal of getting 1/3 of the game for full price.
They are calling it full games but the truth is no jrpg in the last years was 30 hours long. That was a snes thing before voice acting. Im sure if you add cinematics and voice acting to short games such as FFVI, it will easily reach 45 hours.
And keep in mind Im talking about main stories, not side quests. With side quests FFVII can last easily 80 hours.
> the goal is to structure it more like Final Fantasy XIII than an episodic series."
>The development team are looking to structure it like FFXIII, with three full, 30+ hour JRPGs spun out of FFVII's original three discs.
As someone who doesn't give a rat's ass about this remake and is awaiting FF15 and KH3 this is a REALLY bad idea.
I played FF13 from start to end and the structure and pacing is exactly one of main problems with the game. The fact they want follow this structure should be a red flag to those who are interested in it
>>333435968
I loved FFXIII up until they went and ruined it by tossing us into an open bullshit world riddled with sidequests that you were forced to complete
>>333435187
Yeah, I don't get it either. I was really hoping for a full on multi-part game that added new locations and reused the same save data, but this seems like a gimmick. Who cares if I can fully explore Midgar if I can only do that in one part. This feels like a cop out.
>>333434958
she doesn't like nerds though
so she's mine
>>333433034
No that I give a damn besides the fact t that this is over hyped over rates trash, but why dobthey need to over complicate things?
Remaster the fucking game and keep mechanics and story verbatum.
Fucking a
>>333435393
>Because the average length of a jrpg for the last 20 years is 50-60 hours.
It's blatantly obvious that you're note even 20 years old yourself. I think the extent of your "retro" JRPG gaming is FFVII, and materia grinding aside, that's around 20 hours long.
>>333436081
You must be joking, the number one complaint for FF13 was that it was too linear with no side-quests, but it was the opposite that ruined it? Come on!
>>333434359
Which you could also do at the end of disk 2. In fact, locking you out of most sidequests until the end it just dumb as hell and I hate that Square love this convention.
>>333436385
Nope, not joking. I love linear, story-driven RPGs, and had a lot of fun with FFXIII until gran pulse. That place ruined it for me and I never even bothered finishing it.
I only found out last year that you can get Yuffie on side before you even get to Junon for the first time.
>>333436186
Bullshit, FFVII, FFVIII, IX without speed running and knowing where to go are 50-60 hours each.
FFX is 50 hours. FFXII is 60 hours.
FFXIII I dropped it at 40 hours and I was trying to go as fast as possible so I could skip it fast. I dont know how it was but cant be less than 50 hours
Type Zero I guess 30 hours, but then again its just a psp title and a spinoff.
The last 25-30 hours numbered FF games I played were IV, V and VI.
Keep in mind Im talking about main story, no side quests, no grinding and first time playrun.
>>333435187
Hey dipshit, 7 had three discs
>>333435004
That's literally retarded. How could you defend the original combat system.
>>333435968
They're just gonna be remaking the game disc by disc. FFXIII was just an example to make the kids understand.
>>333436952
>They're just gonna be remaking the game disc by disc
No they're not. They've made it clear that the story is getting changed
>>333435075
It's only natural that Nomura wanted to kill the inferior girl after he saw the perfection that is Tifa so she could shine even more out
>>333436831
FF7 first time for me was 27 hours, while FF8 took me a good 80 hours. There's also other jrpgs out there than FF. How long time a game takes YOU to beat is not really relevant to the point SE is trying to make
>>333436950
I love turn based battles, are you enjoying hold X to win fight?
>>333436831
FFI - 7 - 10 hours
FFII - 10 - 15 hours
FFIII - 20 hours
FFIV - 15 hours
FFV - 30 - 40 hours
FFVI - 20 - 25 hours
FFVII - 20 - 25 hours
FFVIII - 25 - 30 hours
FFIX - 25 - 30 hours
FFX - 30 - 35 hours
FFXII - 60 - 70 hours
Unless you're a sloth, you're remembering these games wrong. They're only long if you walk into a wall or run in circles grinding for hours on end.
>>333437062
Stop making shit up.
>>333437087
But that's not Yuffie
>>333436762
Wat.
I can't believe this game is 20 years old and there's no porn for it yet.
>>333437209
If you can't see how hypocritical that is I don't know what to tell you. The simple addition of positioning and movement allows the potential of shitloads more actual depth.
>>333437321
yuffie a shit
>>333437442
Tifa a shite
>>333437209
Because pressing X to win is so much more engaging, right?
>>333437317
Read the link in the OP. They are making story changes
>>333437290
Absolute horse shit
>>333437290
You're really under estimating VII here. FFX is pretty bang on though, as you have to go out of your way to do the end game in that.
>>333435968
Theres a difference there, vii already has a premade story, so the liberties they are taking with it his acxomodating the story to each part, they are also going to put more shit like expanding on the avalanche members biggs, wedge and jessie and probably other characters like the shinra, and i'm hpoing reeve as well, hes litrally one of the main characters, and lets not forget vincent and yuffie, they wont be mere side characters any more and have a more involved part in the story as well, theyll put more story content and more ahit in each town as well as in the world, to make each part like a full rpg
now speaking of how the parts will ne devided, i dont believe that part 1 ending at leaving midgar, i reckon itll end at the ship ride from junon to costa del sol, establishing sephiroth as the big bad, showing the nibelheim shit and having the first jenova fight as the last boss, part 2 is gonna end at the northern crater and show cloud getting fucked and the weapons awakening, with part 3 having the rest all the way to the end
this is going to be completely fucked. As if the "compilation" hasnt already raped VII enough, now they gotta go and ruin the original game too.
I hate modern Square.
>>333437542

Fuck this remake

>>333437290
>FFIV - 15 hours
You're a fucking retard
>>333437290
Bullshit. FFX has a shit ton of voiced content. Unless you are skipping it the game is longer than that. Those are certainly not first time runs.
FFVII is marginally longer than FFVI. They cannot be both 20-25 hours. It seems you are "remembering" the last run you did on those games, not the first one.
>>333437542
Tifa isnt a tease
>>333433034
>Whereas with Final Fantasy VII Remake, we already have a preexisting story, so it wouldn't really make sense if that isn't encompassed in a multi-part series
This phrase makes no fucking sense.
"We have a story that everyone knows about so NOT dividing it as multi-part release would be wrong".
Kitase might have meant "since this is a preexisting story we will add new scenarios to greatly expand the original plot, so dividing it as a multi-part release might seem more justified", if it's that so then he should just fucking say that.
>>333437684
FFVII is broke as shit, son. There's no way they can make it HD without making major changes and additions.
>>333437290
VII is more like 50-60 hours on average if you're not going out of your way for chocobo breeding or the excess stuff outside of character subplots. Mostly because the game has a surprisingly sizable series of events.
Like the submarine mission and the Gelnika as well as the hunt for the City of the Ancients key if you don't know where it is by guide or previous knowledge, or the Huge Materia section of the game. The plot had a few major padding moments that only served to get in everyone's way.
If the devs follow XIII's model this sounds a lot like they'd basically focus on the meat and potatoes of the plot, and the padding would either just be in your face with no purpose or extremely trimmed, utterly tearing the fat off of everything. And i'm not sure if that's a good thing.
>Unreal Engine 4
There is literally no reason for this game not to come to PC. If they announce the other "later" platform as Xbone only I'll have an aneurysm.
>>333438015
It's the translation.
There was a thread about this yesterday.

>>333437290
>FFV - 30 - 40 hours
More like 25-30. My save file is at 28 hours and I went out of my way to grind AP.
>>333435080
let's be honest a Final Fantasy VII-2 would be a literal river of money
I'm fine with this. Seriously. I am not waiting 10 years for another FF game. Hell, I'll even pay full price for these games. Just get it to me sooner rather than later.
>>333434439
Wait... won't it just be expansion packs like an MMO? Everything will just be added on?
Are they really just going to alter your characters like that?
>>333433034
>In the latest issue of Game Informer, producer Yoshinori Kitase revealed the details, saying that the team was using Final Fantasy XIII series, which comprised of a total of three games, as a model.

>>333434958
chen!

>>333433034
>full, 30+ hour JRPGs
Sounds kinda short to me. Then again I'm used to DQ8 an 9, which were like 70+ hours if you knew what you were doing. I'll wait for all 3 to be released together.
>>333433280
The old Kingdom Hearts 3 trick!
>>333435075
Oh shit! They're gonna kill off Tifa instead! Oh shiiiit
>>333438483
They'll probably have to retcon Crisis Core now that the person they based Genesis on has become a total fucking niggerfaggot. He's basically burned the Genesis reappearance bridge in both FFVII and any future games.
>>333438970
Sounds good to me.
>>333438591
I don't see how that's possible, considering FFVII only consists of unique areas. It's not often enemies were recycled either.
Also, there are so many WTF type enemies in the game that I doubt they'll keep even 10% of the original monsters beyond the mechs and bosses.
>>333438970
you make it sound like that's a bad thing
>>333433034
that doesn't make sense, the third disc is a fraction of the playtime of the first two
watch its going to be another hallway simulator entertainment wise.
>>333439141
Only in that we'll likely never ever get an HD version of Crisis Core outside of emulation.
>>333439057
I guess so.
>Also, there are so many WTF type enemies in the game that I doubt they'll keep even 10% of the original monsters beyond the mechs and bosses.
RIP Hellhouse and weird cannon enemy.
>people are actually still looking forward to this
>>333439154
It's not gonna be a disc each.
They're probably expanding the fuck out of the Midgar section to encompass an entire game, doing the rest of Disc 1 as the second game, and Discs 2 and 3 as the final release.
>>333439256
who fucking cares
>>333433713
With how much money they sank into development and how much it needs to sell for it to be profitable, they'd be out of their minds for not atleast seriously considering, it.

>>333433034
>The development team are looking to structure it like FFXIII, with three full, 30+ hour JRPGs spun out of FFVII's original three discs.
Ah, okay. That's better. I was afraid they would have done a Telltale-type bullshit. The original FFVII was about 40 hours of content minus faffing about, so three games with 30 hours of content's actually pretty gnarly.
>>333439256
Crisis Core sucked arse so who cares
>>333433713
>Didn't know Final Fantasy XV was finally coming out for the PC.
Tabata said specifically that after the console versions were done and released they would start looking at a higher end PC version.
So...thanks for beta testing it for us, I guess?I actually have a PS4, but the demo's performance did not impress me
>>333434145
You're saying it's ok because they're just gonna literally call each segment a "different game"
>>333439256
Crisis Core may've had a cool story outside of Genesis but the gameplay was easily button-mashing garbage. People love to strawman and think Kingdom Hearts is "press attack to win", but Crisis Core could essentially be conquered through liberal sword spam and dodge rolls.
Also FFVII:Re can use exactly what VII and Before Crisis used - claiming the story is from Cloud's perspective, so thus you don't need to see Genesis or his bullshit since only Zack directly knew about it.
>>333439537
No he didn't.
>>333435968

No, the rest of it was shit too. Only cool parts were Cloud and Sephiroth.

Honestly it was moreso the voice. Still way too 'pure waifu'. But she did screw around with Zack, like the whole, "If you can do that hop to your feet thing again like we first met, then that's cool. But if you fail, you gotta take me on a date."
Then Zack fucks up the first time, asks for a retry and does it then, and completely forgot about the whole date thing.

So much for that.

However, since we didn’t have any plans for it, there won’t be one releasing closely to the PC version. When we develop and research in the DirectX 11 generation, all the work goes into the console version. After release, we plan to do some research on a PC version while considering higher specs.

This game is starting to sound a little too ambitions.
It will either be a massive success or flop hard, there is no more "It'll be good" or "OK" option anymore.
>>333440463
niggas gonna double dip with multiple releases like GTA V's triple dip
But then I guess this is nothing new since most of the main series is on Steam now

I've always felt that FFVII is pretty bland and not a game that I'd like to go back to. I have been very excited about FFXV, I think it looks wonderful. Am I wrong to take this as a sign that they are giving up on XV and just pushing it out to get it over with? Between the technical problems, the nearing release date and the fact that they are already working on the sequel (since VII is the next main installment as stated) while proclaiming that the VII will be multi-part but seemingly having no interest in making FFXV sequels I'm pretty worried
>>333440920
XV was announced in, what, 2006 or 2007? It''s really obvious they're tired of shoveling money into it so they want to make as much profit as they can through multimedia shit and finally be done with the damn thing.
Meanwhile the initial FF7 on PS3 tech demo was E3 of 2005, and the confirmation of the remake was E3 of 2015, two years before the 20 year anniversary in 1997, And the game's probably been in work for a couple years too. They probably want to bring their main attention to KH3 and FF7:Re now, yeah..
Holy shit, all I wanted was for them to remake Final Fantasy 7 with graphics and audio quality at current standards. Maybe add some new side content here and there. Shit, they didn't even need to add voice acting or anything.
What the fuck is even happening anymore?
I actually kind of like the idea but the only way for this to feasibly work is if they keep all installments on the exact same engine, basically porting over the same shit into new settings like the Zelda jump from OoT to MM.
If they had done this earlier they would have to make large graphical updates to remain competitive but with this generation that is pretty much redundant. Even with XIII they had to change things up as much as they could
Maybe this was Square's plan since they first thought of remaking FF7, they will be able to give us ridiculous amounts of content and it will sell like hotcakes.
My only problem is bonus content, what happens to your efforts outside of the main story upon moving on to the next chapter? Would it just be wiped each time around or is your data carried over and completionists are just OP as hell breaking the rest of the game.
>>333441334
>What the fuck is even happening anymore?
An epic remake
>>333441252
I'd wager they uses what was left of Verses for the Remake look at the explosion again after Cloud has his spasm
>>333441534
This doesn't sound epic, it sounds like it's going to be a fucking mess.
REmake was an "epic remake," and I only had to buy that once.

The cover feature reiterates Square Enix's statements that they're taking liberties with the story to modernize it.
"I, along with [Tetsuya] Nomura-san and [Kazushige] Nojima-san--who are involved with the remake--were also involved with the original Final Fantasy," Kitase said. "We were the people who created it, so in that sense, we don't think anything is untouchable. That isn't to say we're changing everything!"
>>333436762
Literally did it my first play through, she comes very easy in that forest by where you get titan materia.
>>333440759
>Any good Aerith Doujins aside from the prostitute one?
There are very few of them, strangely enough, but there's a metric fuckton of worksafe pixiv art.
Aeris is just one of those popular characters that gets a lot of fanart but not nearly as much lewd art.
>>333437290
Bait.
Why the fuck didn't Square pick FF 6 to remake? WTF. FF 7 was already 3D you could create a bad ass next gen game using FF 6 as a baseline. Fuck them.

I liked kefka, he's the only one who succeded.
I think he just needed to be more related to the returners so it becomes more personal the fight against him.

This. It will be shit like the .hack games. The level cap will ruin any progress in earlier chapters.
>>333433713
They never said anything about chmajor plot changes what they said was that since they worked on the original they may change some things while still making tans happy, which all means ttht they are gonaa expand character like yuffie and vincnet or making shit make more sense

You don't remember the marketing for the original ff7. It always boasted of 100+ hours of gameplay.
>>333446119

Right in the fucking op, you cunt

The heat death of the universe will happen before this shit is complete.
XV alone took 10 years. Splitting this shit into 4 games with one for each disc will take ages.
>>333439626
Each segment being a "different game" is the worst they could do. It means no real continuity, starting from square one and not being able to go back to old areas until the game says so.
>>333446908
>XV alone took 10 years.
What is development hell? The game didn't enter full production until like 2010 or 2011 IIRC, and they couldn't fully back the project because they were using all their resources to fix XIV.
Saying XV took 10 years to make is like saying Duke Nukem Forever took 13 years to make. Not to mention that XV had its combat completely reworked just so Nomura could take his original combat design with him for the VII remake.
>the game is too big for one 50 GB Bluray disc

I really hope that's the case. The original combat system for XV looked fucking fantastic
>>333447917
>The original combat system for XV looked fucking fantastic
Uh, no it didn't. It looked exactly the same as the garbage in PD. The exact same animations. The same crap. The only difference is the fake placeholder HUD is now gone and you see the real one, which looks like a IPHONE UI

Check again, the combat in the Versus XIII demo looks way more Kingdom Hearts-esque, you can even control the other characters, and Prompto had third person shooting just like Barrett does in the remake footage
>>333448336
He's right though, if you take away the padding most FF games are fairly short. I don't know why people are complaining about the 30-40 hours thing when that's how long the average FF game takes. I beat all the weapons in VII except for Ruby, Bahamut in VIII, Ozma in IX, and maxed out my sphere grid and got all the sigils in X and I didn't even crack 100 hours in any of those games.
>>333433034
>Fans literally tell SE how to make money

These fuckers deserve everything that happens to them. Holy shit how can a whole company be filled with so many idiots
>>333449054
Technically, the only reason people hate FFXIII is because of the linearity and Lightning's overexposure. The actual model for the game's release wasn't the issue.
>>333449054
>They decide to shoot themselves in the foot by taking after the most hated modern FFXIII
XIII series was shit, but they're right about them being "full sized" games even though XIII is missing like 20% of its content. They're just using XIII as a point of reference to how long the games will be
They will need to come up with a hell of a lot of padding, retconning and other shit to make each disk 30 hours
>>333449565
As long as there's more Jessie, I'm good.
>>333449565
>They will need to come up with a hell of a lot of padding, retconning and other shit to make each disk 30 hours
World map walking and random encounters ARE padding, anon.
>>333449565
I remember something about how they're expanding Midgar. Considering Midgar was one of the most memorable parts of the entire game and its entire runtime is comparable to Roxas' prologue in KH2, I wouldn't mind at least a little more so long as it doesn't go batshit insane.
Leaving Midgar should feel like an accomplishment and amazing - if not brief - relief after an intense chase sequence again, not just a footnote.
>>333434951
>I'm looking forward to a remake of a game I think is complete shit
Will we see Tifa at E3?
>>333449798
Are you kidding? Those things are important parts of the game, padding would be stuff like "go get this thing from this guy" "oh sorry, I don't have it anymore, I gave it to this guy" "If you want it you have to get this thing for me"
>>333448973
The only actual long FF is XII
Fucking hell it was really huge for a PS2 game
>>333442265
>cinemas
flicks at best I'd say
>people actually think the remake is going to follow the same story
>people actually think FFVII-3 is going to be about fighting Sephiroth in the meteor and not some completely as backwards Advent Children bullshit with aerial anime combat with Cloud's swiss army sword
>>333450489
Also the best FF.
Well, the best if you're not counting FFT.
>>333450253
I don't care, it's hard to fuck up Tifa. All you need to do is give her F cups and she's fine. I more interested in best girl.
If she's a virgin mary expy instead of a spunky ray of sunshine, I'm going to be pissed
>>333433034
WHY IS LITERALLY EVERY DEVELOPER INCAPABLE OF MAKING FULL GAMES NOW?
>>333450858
>dead girl is best
wew lad
>>333450585
I'd laugh if they incorporate Advent Children into the remake.
They very well may.
why's everybody so interested in seeing Tifa's tits? It's not like we haven't seen Tifa given a modern character model like 5 times already.
>>333451025
are you gay
>>333437290
On a first playthrough anon. I believe I took maybe 40 hours for my first playthrough of VII. Doing all the sidequests and maybe trying to get to level cap will go much longer as well.
I don't know how anyone can not get stuck at least once with a FF game. Maybe not to the point of using a guide but I am not ashamed to admit I might have gotten stumped a few times.
>>333450947
idiots will shell out for it.
>>333451025
because the worried nerds think that if tifa's tits aren't quite right then the remake is ruined
Just a friendly reminder that FFVI is still the greatest FF game as well as the GOAT game ever made.

How butt devastated will /v/ be?
>>333451126
no I'm just more excited in seeing things I haven't already seen multiple times
So each game will be self contained then? No open world or being able to go back to Sector 5 or Wall Market for treasure or just for the hell of it?
>>333433034
>structure like XIII
>not learning from their mistakes
Welp, this is continuing its' spiral down the toilet rather quickly. Oh well.
>>333433034
I think it's suprising all the backlash this is getting when it has been done once before and been succesful.
>>333451313
They'd never except it.
If the remake is good, it's hipster garbage because of mass contrarians. If it's awful, they won't shut up about it forever.
>>333450947
Why are you literally incapable of reading? 30+ hours is more than a "full game".
>>333451313
Not. I want nothing more than for this game to be the best game I've ever played. There is basically 0 chance of that happening though.
