I'll wait. I don't buy games at release anymore. Too many producers are being shit at their jobs these last few years.

I've made a pre order but might not get it delivered day one as shipping may have some issues. Still I can wait a bit if needed. I've never played Final Fantasy VII so I'll be going into this mostly blind.

60 bucks for a very small part of a game?

No thanks.

I prefer to look at it as 45 for 40 hours of game. Around 1 a hour is fine.

By literal definition it's a reboot since they changed the story.

it's not. it is the definition of a remake.

a reboot would be throwing the ff7 cast into an entirely different world and having them stop kujaroth.

it's a remake, as per the definition.

suck it.

Really? I could lowball and say FF7 is about 9ish hours long, if you just crush it. (Speedruns are about 3 hours long, and marathons are about 7 and a half hours long)...

How long is the remake?

EDIT: There's a 100% Speedrun for FF7 that's 18 hours long (18:44:01)

Changing the story to something else doesn't make it a remake.

The remake is 40 hours long for episode 1 apparently. FF7 original was about 60 hours for the entire game if you didn't 100% it. Add another 20 or so for 100%.

I will probably give it a whirl in like 10 years when every piece is out, and is goes on sale. If its like nintendo games and never goes on sale I dont know.
This is the same Square Enix that sells two different copies of Final Fantasy VIII on Steam. One for $12 and one for $20.

As someone who has finished FFVII at least 5 times, my last run in 2016 was like 40 hours.
How long to beat puts main story @ 40 hours:
https://howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=3521

Where it puts the remake @ 29 hours:
https://howlongtobeat.com/game?id=57686

I mean if we're talking about story completion time. Final Fantasy doesn't even compete with something like the Trails series:

I've only played through the original once, and my total playtime on Steam is 44 hours. I did a decent amount of side stuff too.

Walmart shipped mine UPS... or rather wants to. The tracking says it's still waiting for them to pick it up from the facility.

I don't care though, I got digital copies of P5 Royal and RE3 remake and that'll keep me busy until it shows up.

It's literally a remake. Remakes can add parts to the story. Remasters can't and it's certainly not a reboot.

Story along is about 30-35 hours based on what folk have said. 40 with side quests and additional content. For part one only this is still almost as long as the whole of the original so at this point you're just nit picking.

remake

verb
/rmk/
  1. make (something) again or differently.
think about when cooking. if you fuck something up you remake it, differently, so as to not fuck it up again. you don't reboot it. reboot means to fucking turn something off and back on.

hence why I said 20-25 and not 4.

Are you suggesting they had made a really good meal before, but now they've fucked something up remaking it?

I'm not sure this totally applies since they didn't fuck up the first one.

I know I'm being a bit pedantic here, I'm not disagreeing with the core argument. I just don't know about that analogy there.

when you think about it, the original was pretty fucked up.

the story was pretty much nonsense that didn't know what the hell it was doing, though you could argue that was due to the translation

Remakes don't CHANGE the story. Reboots do.

Reboot is more about continuing/restarting the production of a franchise with new staff and ideas. Which can result in anything ranging from a remake, a continuation or just a spin-off spiritual successor.

Changing the story at all isn't a remake. Adding onto the story instead of changing the original story would make it a remake still. Also 20-25 hours would be a speedrun.

We have no idea how many "instalments" this project will have. It also doesn't matter when each part if a full game. No different to buying any other game that is part of a trilogy or saga as far as I'm concerned.

They said it was "at least 3" and since one game was only Midgar there will be at least 30 total.
