so it's already ruined.
I hate this gay earth
>squaredrones are defending this
>they think SE won't use this as an excuse to charge more than $60 for all the chapters, on top of any downloadable content they're planning
FUCKING DROPPED
>>319273524
>already a dozen threads about this
>>319273524
FFXV will probably be the same
I can alredy see it coming
>empty as fuck areas
>almost no optional content
>cliffhanger ending for XV-2
>>319273524
we must be thankful to all fags who supported episodic games like LiS and TellMemes adventures
>>319274328
They already said that they are planning sequels for 15, but at least it will be a sequel to a presumably full game, unlike this shit with 7 that is one game cut into fragments
Will SE be able to deliver a good open world experience, or will it be another giant yet lifeless world?

『FFVII リメイク』のバトルにはお馴染みのリミットブレイクも搭載。分作にした経緯にも迫る

『ファイナルファンタジーVII リメイク』北瀬佳範氏&野村哲也氏に訊く分作の意図――バトルはATBありのアクションに!?【PSX2015】
http://www.famitsu.com/news/201512/07094721.html
>Character models are being supervised by Visual Work's director.
>The team is staying away from total realism for the designs, since it might make certain characters hard to recognize. Instead, they are going to make them as real as possible, while keeping the character's personality and design intact.
>Advent Children's model data is over ten years old, so they cannot use it, even if that were the direction the team had decided upon.
>Everything from the recent trailer, aside from the recycled E3 Trailer footage, was real-time. The end scene where Cloud gets off the train transitions directly into gameplay.
>Cloud looking sick is partly due to the lighting. Nojima thinks Cloud's sickly appearance is brilliant.
>Cross-dressing is in the game, but Nomura has yet to work on the design.
>All the party member's designs are renewed like Barret's. At first they thought of going with the Advent Children design for Barret, but decided against it.
>Both the ATB and Limit gauge are present, but work differently than in the original. The ATB turning red is particularly important.
>Battle tempo will be similar to Dissidia. Battle system is being made by people who have experience in both Dissidia and Kingdom Hearts.

>Only includes one of the witcher maps
>>319274968
>Nomura: "If we tried to stuff the whole game into one release, some parts of the game would have to appear as digests. We'd have to remove some of the original content from the game, and it would be especially difficult to add anything more. Considering that a full remake of the original game must be achieved, we have decided to split the game into multiple episodes."
>Kitase: "Taking the No.8 Street shown in the recent trailer, even just this is already highly dense. If we are to remake the content of the original version at that quality, it would be impossible to do with a single release. Splitting the original version into episodes with nothing dropped, as well as adding complements, and remaking the game in it's full volume is what we are thinking."
>Kitase: "Unlike the encounter battles in the original version, we're aiming for seamless, active battles like those shown in the recent trailer."
>Nomura: "Since the game is based on Final Fantasy VII, elements like the ATB Gauge and Limit Breaks will appear, but with new usage [to reflect the new combat system]. Please wait for our further announcements on how they will evolve."
>Nomura: "We are planning to dig deeper with the story in the episodes. Players who have played the original surely know everything from the beginning to the end of the game, including many very important moments. We would love to give even these players surprises."
>Kitase: "We are not going to remake a game so you only play for nostalgia. We want to make the hearts of the original fans pump. Additions will be made with this goal clear in the minds of the team."
>>319274890
So just like america
>being retarded
>not realizing game has been doing this for several years
example:
STARCRAFT 2
that'll be $60 + $60 + $60
>>319274968
>Battle system is being made by people who have experience in both Dissidia and Kingdom Hearts.
And dropped, I'll be playing more Bravley Default. Enjoy being keked Sony fans.
>>319275113
>Makes it OK
>>319274968
>>319275030
Ok
I just hope they change how the game is divided up
I don't want part 3 to be just the last dungeon again
>>319274712
Square Enix has trouble pushing corridor games out in a timely manner, why would I trust them to get this right?
So the first game is probably going to only be Midgard?
>>319273524
You Final Fanfags will be drained of all of your money. You all had this coming ever since you brought your plague to this forum back in 2005.
>>319274712
I wish this open world meme would end.
It's worse than faggots on internet fighting for their e-dick.
>>319274712
>TW3 map
>only that much bigger than GTAV
I don't think so, tim.
>>319275462
No lie, I would pay to have Aerith and Jessie survive and added to my permanent roster.
FFVII is already one of the shortest games in the series. They're probably talking about Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core. No way they can turn a 20 hour rpg into multiple parts. What exactly are they going to add that makes each installment so big?
>>319275030
So disk one disk two and disk three?
>>319274712
Yakuza fills only a small portion of the already limited GTA 5 map. Yet it's one of the greatest worlds ever created by focusing on smaller districts that are filled with more content than most open world games put in their giant ass maps.
Fuck this dick measuring contest. At least do it like Xenoblade Chronicles and make the world varied and rich with detail.
>>319275969
The world in Xeno was shit too.
>>319275969
>Yakuza
SOON
O
O
N
>>319275770
the point is the production cost of turning sprawling locations like midgar into actual 3d high definition explorable environments.
>>319275143
If there's enough content between each release that warrants a $60 purchase, yeah it's okay.
>>319275928
Disc 3 literally consists of going to the Northern Crater/Cave and killing Sephiroth. What, would they make the cave a 100 floors deeper to make it 5 hours instead of 2?
>>319273524
I didn't buy it I'll wait for a WiiU hack
>>319276151
Wrong thread?
>>319276146
Add a ton of bosses? Add another dungeon? Add Advent Children?
Please add Advent Children I wanna see Kadaj again
>Episodic
Expect this in EVERY Squeenix game from now.
Life is Strange proved to them that it's the most profitable.
New Hitman is already doing it too.
If FF15 doesn't end up butchered into pieces, you can fully expect that FF15-2 WILL be (they already confirmed FF15 will have a sequel so enjoy a fucking cliffhanger ending)
>>319274712
It will be lifeless and boring, just like the art design in the game.
>>319273524
>>319277187
Stop spreading misinformation. They have said multiple times XV will be a standalone.
>>319278086
>XVIDF
pls go
>>319275030
>you won't be able to visit the old areas on the continuation games
>literally ps1 limitations like FFVIII/FFIX all over again
>>319277187
Is it really the best way to go? sure it works for telltale and games like theirs but they can get the next episode out in a decent amount of time and keep the hype going. Almost nothing that has a AAA budget gets released in a decent amount, at least from Square's Japanese offices.
>>319275171
>part 3
It'll probably be five parts or more (wouldn't put it past them to make it seven parts). They can chop the game up so nicely with Midgar being one part, Aeries Dies being another, the trip into the crater and the weapons awakening being yet another one, then collecting the great materia to crash into the meteor being the next one, getting back into midgar to fight Hojo and then the northern crater again.
>>319273524
Haha great. I want to see this shit crash and burn.
So you guys can kiss goodbye to overworld, open world or anything similar.
Why does greed and profit always ruin everything?
if it was 2 episodes sold at 40$ each i'd buy it.
if they're planning on 4-5 eps at 60-50$ each, what's the point of buying it immediately if a nice collector box at reduced price will definitely come later?
Well, /v/.
Be prepared to buy the full game in 2019.
Episodic isn't necessarily bad. I mean, it probably will be, but if each game has enough content to essentially be a stand alone game, there's nothing wrong with it. Imagine each game being ~40h, it'd easily be worth it.
>>319279378
>
dude
we've been waiting so many years for xv which is like, what, 70 percent done?
and kh3 is like started
and they wont really be going full steam with this until at least xv is released, and then kh3 after in like late 2017/early 2018 so the earliest the whole fucking this will be released is realistically like 2022 no fuckiNG JOKE HOLY SHIT
>>319273524
FF7 was a pretty long game by today's standards, Square realizes that they can get away with this because even if they split into 3 chunks they'll still each be around ~10hours which will seem long to people who didn't play a lot of games back then.
>>319279556
>3 of the biggest projects Square has ever had is going to be developed simultaneously
At this point even 2022 seems unlikely.
>>319279556
>xv which is like, what, 70 percent done?
they said xv can be played from beginning to end
>>319279391
They wont release it as a whole due to profits so what makes you think they will even if they split it up? It will be the same amount just split up to make it seem like more when its not. Dont believe the lies
>>319279786
i was thinking that too, honestly even 2022 is way early. if xv is released maybe late 2016, then we can expect kh3 by 2019, and all episodes of this game by like... 2024?
At this point my purchasing decision hinges entirely on what becomes of Tifa's boobs.
>>319280440
sauce sensei?
>>319273524
tfw
>think the new models look great
>fine with some story tweaks to get it to flow nicely with the modern systems
>think the combat looks rad
But not this. Not like this. Fuck.
I remember a strawpoll on Saturday which 40% said day one buy and another 40% said wait and see. I wonder what the results would be now
>>319279556
Didn't the last piece of Starcraft 2 finally trudge out a few months ago.
Why do people think this is a good idea. Episodic gaming only ever made the slightest amount of sense if you were making small games that were produced quickly.
Not giant games that can be produced slightly more quickly, or small games that take decades to come out.
I could accept everything else about this remake, but episodic releases? Jesus Christ, why?
whats so bad about an episodic game?
>>319282891
Because it would be difficult to release the full game at the level of completion they wish to achieve within the time restraints so they're going to take longer but release it in parts so as not to make everyone wait too long.
>>319283061
How would an episodic RPG even work? If the game's progression carries over to episode 2, then it fucks over people who start at episode 2 but if you make each episode a fresh start then you can't carry over items and skills and shit and the difficulty curve is fucked in the ass.
>>319283261
This remake is meant to be a cinematic experience. You don't need to level up.
>>319273524
I won't touch it until it's a full game.
I have a feeling they're fucking it up hard and I'm not even talking about the combat system.
>>319283261
I don't know, how about the exact same fucking way it's worked in anything that's been episodic for the past generation?
Of all the complaints you could possibly have, that's the fucking least of them.
>>319283261
It'll probably work by letting you transfer your data or start fresh with what pre-set levels/equipment.
>>319283340
>You don't need to level up in an RPG
Let's not get carried away.
>>319283440
>I don't know, how about the exact same fucking way it's worked in anything that's been episodic for the past generation?
Do you have an example of that happening that wasn't garbage? I'm having trouble remembering any.
Since I already know the whole story, there's very little reason to buy it in episodic format. Better to just wait until the complete edition comes out.
Guess I won't be playing it until 10 years from now.
>>319283440
I don't fucking know man, I don't remember an episodic JRPG existing before. Platformers and shooters are easy to make episodic because they're level based.
>>319273524
What the fuck?
>>319274494
no, they said they are not planning sequels for xv, stop shitposting.
>>319283586
The only real episodic JRPG we've seen before I can think of was Penny Arcade Adventures, which let you play both with save data or without save data; but that game is 7 years old by now.
Since it's Square Enix we're talking about, I'm going to assume it'll work like Life is Strange or Resident Evil Revelations, where you buy the game in chunks or buy a Season Pass, basically working like a normal game, locking you out of Ep2 until you beat 1, and using your save data as carry over.
So basically, the exact same way any other videogame would work, only delayed over time to kike more money.
>>319280440
This
Remember when games used to not be sold into short, diluted chapters at $20 a pop?
I wouldn't even be surprised if Final Fantasy 7 Chapter 1 is literally only AVALANCHE blowing the MAKO reactor and escaping Shinra's security teams. Roboscorpion will be the final boss!
>>319283061
>Squeenix is a shitty company that cant make a full game unless it jews it's consumers
Oh god, the fact that the fanboys are accepting, defending and seem actually happy about this is just amazing.
I'm glad you guys are so happy, your are getting what you deserve after all, being fucked in the ass by Squeenix, having to pay multiple times for a single game after sucking Cloud's dick for so many years.
>>319283836
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/13/final-fantasy-xv-will-have-multiple-direct-sequels
Call it shitposting all you like, SE apologist
You're stupid if you think it's only going to be like $20 for each game. It's going to be full price. $60 each. For what will amount to the same time it took for an average Witcher 3 run.
Add in DLC and you'll be paying roughly $200 for your full Final Fantasy VII Remake experience.
Thanks Squeenix!
>implying Japs aren't the new Jews :^)
>>319274712
Bet I could drive around the Witcher map in under 1 minute with a Bugatti Veyron
"Square is making a come back you guys!!!" is what the Squaredrones said, and I believed it. But holy fuck this.. this is undefendable.
first disk goes up to aerith "death". then they release 3 games, the "classic" path, the "aeirth lives" path and the "Sephiroth" path each in 2 parts.
Who didn't see this coming? This is like the most wanted game of all time, of course they're going to milk it for every penny you fucking dumb bastards.
>>319274328
XV already is confirmed to be a single game with no sequels
>>319274494
No Tabata said they have no plans for a sequel literally last week and that XV will have a single story with a conclusion that ends the story completely.
>>319285098
>Posting shit from fucking 2013 that was already cleared up to be a mistranslated a week later
Fucking idiot
Back in 2013 Nomura said that they COULD do sequels not that they will and only because XVs world is so huge
Then a week later he said that they have no plans for an XV sequel
In 2015 Tabata stated they have no plans for a sequel and that XV will not be episodic, he also stated that XV will finish the games story with a single conclusion to everything being tied up.
And he also stated that when it was Versus XIII the game was planned to have sequels but that in 2012 when they turned Versus into XV that the FIRST THING that they cemented was that XV would not have sequels and that they condensed Versus and it's sequels into a single game, into XV, and that is when they made story changes like Stella to Luna too because of condensing them all into one big game.
XV right now has no plans for a sequel as Tabata already confirmed multiple times
Stop posting that outdated fucking IGN quote that was already debunked a week after it was made.
