It's actually going to be in parts like the XIII trilogy. Each game will be a full game on it's own. Not like with Hitman other short episodic games. Still how long this is will decide if I buy or not. I've never played Final Fantasy VII so I'm not tied by nostalgia.

Combat looks pretty identical to FF15. Not sure that's a good thing.

Except they're getting 1 game and breaking it up into 3 parts for the remake. They can say that each part is a whole game all they want, it's still 1 game split up into 3.

So it's 3 games(assuming they have 3) rather than one. Got it.

Okay so buy it in 10 years when they release all 3 as one package. The rest of us don't give a fuck

You keep saying this but you seem to be the only person upset by it here. They've expanded on the game with a movie and other games so I don't see the issue with adding to the original story.

Well, ya ok - just extrapolate pl0x. Episode 4 can be Dirge of Cerberus or whatever

Anyone else think it's cool that you actually get a summon THAT early in the remake? I'm pretty sure the first summon in original FF7 is Choco-Mog, which you get after leaving Midgar. Considering how standard Bahamut is still fucking sick to watch even today, I absolutely cannot wait to see how they do him up in the remake.

There are some summon materia included in pre-order bonuses

Still we don't know how long that is as they have changed it up things with this remake. Comparing it to the OG seems a bit pointless.

Choco is a pre order bonus summon I believe. Still this game is longer then the OG for it's part one so it's no surprise.

Your upset at getting more content? Seems logical. Still you can always not buy it and still have Final Fantasy VII.

Have you replayed Dirge of Cerberus lately? Because I have - around a month ago, on the hard difficulty. Game fucking sucks.

Cutscenes out the ass in an action game, and theyre so bad that you get that typical walk-cutscene-walk-cutscene-walk loop (with no combat) that Squeenix is notorious for because they dont know how to tell a story outside of hamfisted, shitty cutscenes.

Very little in the way of enemy variety, and the enemy ai is braindead. The enemy design is so poor that, if you shoot them from far enough away, they wont react, and their friends wont be alerted. Some enemies that dont wield guns cant even hit you if you stand on an elevated platform or box.

There are a grand total of three guns. Even with the rudimentary customization elements, thats embarrassing.

Limit break is so broken that you dont even need to learn boss patterns, because the fights will end before you exit limit form. That is, until the last few fights in the game, where the damage output of limit form is worthless, but the health regeneration and damage reduction are still absurd.

A functionless double jump, probably because double jump didnt exist in the original Japanese version. Did they design any new features around its inclusion? No.

Multiple segments where you stand still and shoot moving targets for 3-5 straight minutes. One involves piloting a stationary minigun to gun down 15 of the same exact assault choppers that spawn one at a time. Another involves riding down an elevator and firing at mines. Coming from the company that made the player collect 300 crabs in KH3, they either mistakenly think this is entertaining game design, or they have a sadist on the team that they refuse to fire. Perhaps a possible remake could inject a 3 minute snowboarding segment to waste my time, or maybe a squatting mini game, or a slap fight, or a cpr simulation, or a bike chase, or tower defense, a fucking Mario Party city, or any number of other mini games to attempt to break up the monotonous combat system that they clearly do not believe can keep the player entertained for the entirety of the game because its so shallow.

Oh, and a chapter ripped from the game and sold as a mobile game (through an obscure mobile service) that is currently impossible to play.

Nothing about the game is even remotely interesting. Its the most dull shooter Ive ever played, and in terms of serving as a bridge between the other pieces of FF7 media, its almost completely pointless. Remaking the game would be an utter waste of time and money, but then again, the sort of people that genuinely enjoyed Crisis Core and Advent Children would absolutely gush over a possible remake of either of these games, or the shitty film, so what do I know? Im not even buying the FF7 remake because I think it looks too similar to FF15, KH3, and Type-0 - a trio of some of the worst action rpgs to be released this generation.

It might just be part of the demo to show examples of summons, or they might end up including some in the first game (if episode 1 ends when midgar does, I dont expect much)

Imagine what Knights of the Round would look like

I liked Crisis Core despite it having some issues. And Advent Children Extended was a much better movie than the original release.

Uhh, the episodic BS has been really controversial, "the rest of us" definitely aren't okay with this.

They've expanded on the game with a movie and other games so I don't see the issue with adding to the original story.

What kind of logic is that? That's like saying because J.K. Rowling made some spin-off books of another school, it's totally legit for her to retcon Harry black out of nowhere. It's an issue because it's stupid shit that doesn't need to be done.

This is properly stupid as disc 1 ended at the Ancient Temple, that's definitely not at the 1/3 point.

I think it's terrible and is an attempt to make part 1 not just look like Ground Zeroes.

? What kind of logic? They may be making it more encompassing of the storyline they've built for the universe they created? Lol I don't see issue. No one it retconning anything. It's just adding.

fun fact, the entire game was on all three discs.

you only needed to switch discs because all the fmv's weren't on all discs.

that's why if you had a bunk disc, but it still read enough to verify that it was the right disc, you could swap discs and still play. the only thing that happened was it played the wrong fmv.
