Current Events > Question. How will FF7R deal with the open world?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Outside of Midgar.

Instant travel? Between key places?

Or overworld? With random encounters or none at all?

Makes me think game is really only in Midgar and Square Enix has no fucking clue beyond that.

The game doesn't really need an open world tbqh, it has a fairly linear story and they could easily just taxi you along
---

Idk why they would even stray from the original game. They should basically handle it the exact same way.

I think they said there would be an overworld. It'll be done kinda similarly to what FFVII did, just probably no random encounters. Or if there are, it'll "zoom in" to transition to a battlefield where you can do your KH-style fighting against enemies.
---

Probably very isolated maps for each section, likely without backtracking. It'll be a very linear experience.

They will either make it work like FFX or FFXII

Because they aren't making the game the same way, they're changing a lot of stuff including splitting it up

If you want the original game, it's still there.

they're probably thinking this too, which is another reason the game will be shit

Obviously a map will show up on screen, point, click, and you're at the next town or dungeon.
