Watch as all of your childhood memories are reduced to an atypical anime cliffhanger.
I mean...what part were they gonna end on? You know it's arguably the most memorable scene from the game, and so of course it makes sense to pull a "To Be Continued..." on it.
How about ending it with beating Sephiroth like they did goddamn 22 years ago
But the marquee scene is Aerith dying.
Missing the point
Point is splitting a game into parts, when the original with far inferior technology was a massive game in one package, is stupid
SquareEnix knows what it's doing when it splits the game up in two, because it knows people will buy Final Fantasy VII, twice over, and they know the scene everybody remembers is Aerith dying - which is why it'll be used to end part one. ---
