That's if it even comes out in 2028.
Starting on the PS4 and finishing on PS6.

It's just amazing how fans are okay with it.

I mean, as someone who never played through the original FF7 in its entirety, these kinda just feel like 3 separate, full-fledged games to me so 4 year gaps are fine.

At least that's what Remake felt like.

This, and while this is a problem and I'm not sure what the solution is, it is what it is. Games take a huge amount of work now a days compared to previously.

This like I am ok with it because of the fact that if you treat them like stand alone games they are 40-50 hour games versus the what? 30-50 hours you get out of the original?

The way the whole thing reads to me is that the 7 remake got so bloated that they figured they could just sell it as 3 full priced games over 3 console generations

Public reception was always gonna be contingent on whether the game flopped or not

Announced in the mid 2010s, first part comes out around the beginning of the 2020s, prequel remaster comes out a few years later, and four years after part one of the remake part two finally comes out. Part three will be out in three or four years after this one and this whole project was just to milk fans. It sucks

You and most whining about this are irrational. Square enix wants money, if they could do it any faster they would, but they cant compromise quality. And about quality, its much much harder and time consuming to recreate high fidelity 3d assets, full with mocap and voice acting for every animation and moment they speak.

Now milking would be stuff like all the spinoffs theyve done around FF7, but nothing wrong while its good, though a lot of it isnt.

Overthinking it like that. Either the games are good or they're not. $200 or less with discounts over the span of a decade for 3 good games would be money well spent.

This is nonsense. They could have done modern production values without adding dozens of hours of padding to each part to turn one game into 3.

Im not even saying I wanted them to do that, but to act as if they had no choice but to turn one game into 3 is silly.

Also, a lot of us are really sick of modern production values where SE is concerned anyway. For instance, if they remake FF6, give me the Octopath Traveler art style over this any day.

they had to split it. they're expanding on the og game. like costa del sol isn't going to be only haha look at hojo, let's kick a ball at red xiii and dip. there'll be more to it. they're not going to be rebuilding these areas from the ground up only to have a minute or two worth of content in it. it would be a waste of time. and if they cut it out, people will cry about it. and when you apply that expansion of content to the og, you're making a behemoth. do people remember ff7? you go to a ton of places. they're expanding all of it. if they did this in one game it'd be 100+ hours of just story, which would get complaints.

my only problem with this being a trilogy was making midgar into a whole 40 hour game. it's the biggest single portion of og ff7, but it's only like 5 hours. modern version should be like a 10-15 hour section attached to a bigger game. people are going to do trilogy b2b2b runs and that's going to be the worst part of it, easy.

but it's not like we're getting cheated out of our money (unless you don't like the product). from the look of it, we're going to get more from rebirth than we got out of most square games.

This is why I can't personally be offended by FF7Remake's existence even if I wanted to be; outside of the OG game, my FF7 fandom died fifteen years ago (swiftly put on life support by Advent Children, and then Dirge of Cerberus came along shortly thereafter to deliver the killing blow).

In a way I'm actually kinda glad that FF6 never achieved the kind of mainstream popularity that would've inevitably resulted in it getting milked to death.

Didn't Square just get done saying how they're gonna optimize their development process so that games can be released more quickly?
Rebirth took 4 years, so part-3 taking 4 years as well means they lied about their optimization.

Mods only do so much. The game still old as shit. Something akin to Persona 3 Reload would have been great but we didn't even get the same story.

Even without them changing anything, I doubt Part 3 would take 4 years. A lot of the assets from Rebirth should be able to be used with minor touchups.
