>and while basic story scenario will remain same, there will be some new scene additions to FFVII Remake, SquareEnix says.
>and SquareEnix says FF7 Remake's data size so huge; the software will be split into several titles (for example, FF7-Remake 1, FF7-Remake 2)
...On one hand, this means they aren't going to simply rush it out the door. There likely won't be much cut content at all. In fact, it might be exponentially bigger than FFVII PSX.
...On the other hand, this means they might charge us full price for, say, 3 parts of a game rather than 3 separate games that make up a retelling of FFVII's story.
...I'm apprehensive but I'd like to say I see the potential benefits. This news could mean about a million different things. Bigger story? Segmented story? Each continent is it's own world map? No world map at all? Branching story paths based on your choices with various consequences (I.E. more than simply Aerith might die if you fuck up, or Aerith might be saved at some dire cost down the line in future events, etc.)
Thoughts?

>too much data
You're paying 180 bucks for all of FF7. Enjoy the ride.
One thing it absolutely means is that "old" content and areas will only be relevant for the section of the game they appear in. You are not going back to Kalm or other small towns to do sidequests at the end of the game. Only the really important places will still be accessible in the final game.
>>319244980
>On one hand, this means they aren't going to simply rush it out the door.
There is nothing there that says this. It says its going to be broken up into parts IE Part 1, Part 2 etc.
>>319245167
Yeah, but if it's a enormously expansive version of FFVII with story segments lasting far longer (I'm talking, say, Midgar-Junon a full 40 hour game's length) with more content, it might be worth it.
Then again, I'm trying VERY hard to see the bright side, here...
>>319245631
I can assure you that you do not want the story stretched out like that.
When did square become a jew?
>>319244980
Blu-ray is 25GB per side 50GB total, the next version of blu-ray is 1TB per disc.
Only retards will fall for this bullshit.
50GB IS FUCKING HUGE you KEKLED FUCKS

Something can grow exponentially, it can't be exponentially bigger, learn some math man

>>319245840
Uncharted 3 was like 40gb on ps3 and the game was like 5 or 6 hours long, this shit SE is trying to pull sounds like bs.
>>319245840
>50GB IS FUCKING HUGE
Not when you put all audio and video data uncompressed TWICE in each disc.
>>319244980
>FF7 Remake's data size so huge; the software will be split into several titles (for example, FF7-Remake 1, FF7-Remake 2)
So basically "We're gonna Jew the ever living fuck out of you"
If they split the game up, that's a deal breaker for me, no buy. Or at the least wait until i can buy all parts for a greatly reduced price a few years down the line
>>319245631
Nicely done. How in the fuck does Cloud not look like that while wielding that heavy as fuck sword. Fucking Japs and their feminine garbage.
On the bright side, this means we won't have to wait 5+ years for Tifa/Aeris/Yuffie SFM porn...
...And there will be a lot of it.
>>319244980
>FF7 Remake's data size so huge; the software will be split into several titles (for example, FF7-Remake 1, FF7-Remake 2)
Reminds me of this bullshit.
This seems like odd timing for this kind of decision. We just saw what happened with StarCraft 2 being split up between three games, and how poorly the final part sold. Maybe not the best example since thr RTS genre has gone through some major changes since SC2 was announced back in, what, 2009? Square-enix must really be banking on the idea of FFVII always being relevant in order to justify doing it this way.
Look how uncompressed FF13 was
why aren't we calling these fucks out on social media, you may as well inform people of these jews
FF7 was approx 60 hours long
let's assume they break it into 3 parts. That's 20 hours each. Since there is supposedly new content being added, let's extend that to 25 hours per part. Not horrible. That's about the average length for a full price game in 2015. If the parts end up being 40 dollars instead of 60, that's not that bad at all.
>>319246923
>If the parts end up being 40 dollars instead of 60, that's not that bad at all.
Bring that number down to 20 and I might agree.
>>319246923
>FF7 was approx 60 hours long
Maybe if you do all the lengthy minigames. The core of the story can be completed in under 30 hours in a non-speedrun.
>>319246834
>Yuffie SFM
My body is ready.
>>319246898
Holy fuck that image. All of those games are so uncompressed it fucking hurts. Tales at 12gb holy Jesus. Is this the new meme shit from developers these days? Unoptimized and uncompressed garbage so hardware makers can sell more storage? My god.
>>319246834
>we won't have to wait 5+ years for Tifa/Aeris/Yuffie SFM porn...
OH MY FUCKING GOD HOLY SHIT
MY DICK HAS ASCENDED PAST THE POWER LEVEL OF AN AVERAGE DICK, AND HAS BECOME HYPER DICK OMEGA
If they price it reasonably, then I don't see the issue. Maybe offer cheaper price with multi-pass.
I can definitely see this game being huge. If they dedicate their work, I'm fine with it.
As another said, if each part is ~20 hours long on pure quest, with open world, it should be okay. Most game play these days count open world as an extra xyz hour on top. If you can keep playing even when each part is finished, for example to grind gears/drops/levels. Then I'm okay with it.
I have come around on it
If they put the effort into giving the best possible product possible I am okay with it being episodic as think of it this way
Which would you rather a
-A game that may be fully released but not for 3/4+ years
-A shitty version with cut corners
-Or a episodic format that will most likely release international on the same day that shows they put it the effort
But if they even think of ruining Tifa I will give up all hope
What people want this game to be just isn't realistic from a practical standpoint. Squenix is already a decade and an ungodly amount of money into development into XV. There's no way they have the budget or resource to do another one. By using the XV engine and battle system they can have a smaller team work on it as all they have to do is put the content into it. And by doing it episodically they can partially fund the development as they go.
You got a remember, they never planned on making this game. They got pressured into it after the giant shitstorm last year when FF7 for PS4 ended up just being a port of the PC version
>>319247990
Fully released within the next 6 - 8 years.
>>319247621
It's going to be structured like FF4-2 and FFD. Each chapter will be 5-10 hours at best.
>>319248158
6-8 years from now will be close to next console cycle though which they want to avoid.
>>319248114
>They got pressured into it after the giant shitstorm last year when FF7 for PS4 ended up just being a port of the PC version
I'm going to ignore the rest of your dumb comment. They intentionally trolled people with that announcement, the shitstorm was well deserved.
>>319247621
Dude, its Square fuckin Enix. You know DAMN well they aren't gonna price it reasonably.
>>319247990
>would you rather developers to take their time on a love letter to the fans
>or try to jew them out of their pockets
SHILL BABY SHILL
>>319244980
.....fuck...off.....shill
>>319248376
I don't think it was intentional, I think it was just a dumb decision.
>>319248276
so? They can release it as PS9 exclusive for all I care.
>>319246898
SF4 is a 13gb download for soem reason. No way that game takes that much space with how ass it looks and sounds.
>>319245631
Even that wouldn't be worth $180, you're delusional.
>>319248481
Don't forget what happens when a game takes too long to actually come out.
>>319248641
It becomes a mainline game?
>>319247301
There is already an excellent 3d porn animation of her. Should be easy to google.
>>319248158
it wont take 6-8 years. A lot of the work is already done for them. They are going to use the XV engine and a modified version of XV's battle system. And it's not like they need to write the script. I mean, look how much they already have in that trailer after barely a year of development
>>319248748
You're being delusional if you think it will come out within the next 5 years.
>>319248992
>You're being delusional if you think it will come out within the next 5 years.
Explain why?
>KH III
That has been the works longer and should not affect this at all
>>319248992
My guess is part 1 will come out holiday 2017. and then parts 2 and 3 in 2018 and 2019.
>>319246856
holy shit
that image made me literally exhaust one loud laugh of despair
>>319249159
Not only Kingdom Hearts 3 but FF XV as well
>>319246923
>That's about the average length for a full price game in 2015
Except the majority of non shit RPGs land around the 40 mark on average.
>>319247990
I'd rather have a complete game you shit eating faggot.
>and SquareEnix says FF7 Remake's data size so huge; the software will be split into several titles (for example, FF7-Remake 1, FF7-Remake 2)
Maybe now people will shut the fuck up about it already. I saw this coming from a mile away the instant I saw the new trailer.
>Watching trailer.
>Wait, that's the screen you go through after the first Mako Reactor mission.
>It was just one screen, but now its a huge fucking city, like Midgar is suppose to be.
>Wut. Does that mean the hallway was the first Mako Reactor mission path from the start of the game? That path was already pretty big, but now its fucking huge.
The original FF7 had everything scaled back due to limitations. Cloud was the size of Kalm on the world map. He could jump from the ground, all the way to the top of the trains in the train graveyard. NOTHING was to scale in that game, AT ALL, and if they are making it to scale, which they seem to be doing, the game is going to be gigantic.
Hopefully now the idiots thinking they are going to cut the game into fanfiction segments will shut up.
>>319250454
If they don't fill it with fanfiction then it will be empty or a plain grindfest.
>>319245840
Shinra HQ ALONE is going to be 25 GB easy. Which according to you, means that one building in the game will be the size of half the disc. 60 floors anon, 60 FLOORS.
>>319250819
>Being this terrible at asset generation and general software development
Figures.
>>319250769
Which is why it isn't being made for you.
>>319244980
>2015 Square Enix
Not even once.
>>319250819
you can't go up all sixty floors stupid.
Why are people mad that the remake isn't using atb? What makes atb so great anyways? Not baiting, I just don't play a lot of rpgs and am legitimately curious
>>319254205
I don't give a fuck about ATB, the fact that its split disc means that they have to cut content, not a problem for PC but its a console first game so its shit either way.
Too much data is just bullshit, episodic releases are always cheaply made trash for 400% profit.
This is really bad news because the original game wouldn't possibly work as an episodic series because the game is too open and there's just too much side content to fuck around with at any time to be able to slice the game up in chunks and sell it all like that. That means they'll have to change it so they can sell it that way and I can't imagine any of those changes would be good.
Sadly this sounds like it will fly under the radar because it will take a lot of loud and angry bitching to possibly not go this route.
Fuck, call me a shill but game companies just need to start charging more for games. It's become increasingly obvious that the 50-60 dollar price tag (which hasn't changed since the 90's mind you) isn't paying the bills anymore but they're too afraid to just increase the prices without trying to trick you into paying more than you think you have to with shit like DLC, microtransactions, map packs, episodic content and plitting up complete games like MGSGZ and MGSV. I would rather just have games cost 80 dollars or something and go back to being complete packages than have to deal with this shit actively hurting the quality of games.
>>319245376
Why would that be the case?
It may treat the world and sidequests the same way that the original did.
If anything they may have dungeons or sidequests that can only be completed in the disc they start in, but the world map should be fully explorable regardless of disc once it's opened up.
>>319247410
It's actually anti piracy. Yes, that's right, their idea is that people certainly aren't going to spend the time to download the game. Yup, that's why they don't use steam to download their game either, no sir.
>>319246725
Because Cloud's doped the fuck out on Jenova shit.
In all honesty a lanky fucker is probably what an actual superhuman would look like because his muscles don't need to build up for anything.
>>319255407
>too much side content
Actually a lot of the side quests required certain flags in the previous discs. Yuffie's entire side quest needed Wutai to be visited in Disc 1 or else her ultimate weapon was lost.
Fort Condor needed to be done over the course of disc 1 and 2 at certain parts of the game.
Vincent's ultimate weapon needed to be gotten in Disc 2.
All they need to do is have these details as part of your save that gets read when you start up "part 2" or whatever and there you go. Nothing about the original can't be redone in an episodic format.
>>319257437
>i'm retarded hurrrrrr
>>319254205
Because the other option is SE shitty combat.
Though the real reason why it wasn't ATB is because its a recycled VsXIII combat.
They used to say that VII is too big for a remake, and now they suddenly can and shoved out a gameplay vid in a mere months after the announcement.
Its clear as a day that VII-Remake is a reskinned VsXIII with an improved graphic.
>>319244980
A lot of you idiots are really delusional.
Two-three years ago, SE said FF7 Remake just was not possible due to time and the return. They are just making the game and splitting it into three. It is as simple as that. That is how they get their money back.
>>319247990
A game that may be fully released when it's fucking finished. Episodic games have only ever worked out for Telltale and Life is Strange. This is no format for RPG's.
It's okay when the Japanese do it, right?
