With the recent announcement that FFVII-R's Part One will be all Midgar, how many parts do you reasonably expect it to be?

[SolVanderlyn]

Fairly self explanatory question. I was totally sold on Part One going all the way up to Junon, but I was proven wrong. How much are they planning to add to the story? How long do they plan to tell this story? I have so many questions now.

My answer? I think four at the least. If they make each part really feel like a full length game, I have no problem with this. VII's universe is my favorite game universe, and I'd love to explore in massive depth and detail. But it all depends on how well they handle it.

 

[Hucast]

Has to be at least 3

 

[Voytek]

Thinking four. I'd prefer just three though.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Not enough, they'll get burnt out before they reach the Northern Crater

 

[Cugel]

Too much.

 

[Ant_17]

2 parts.
Part 1 ends with Cloud in the comma.

 

[AxeVince]

I'd expect Midgard to be ~20-30hours is they say it's a full fledge experience.
3 parts the same size would be a pretty good size without counting any open world shenanigans you would be able to do.

 

[Rotobit]

Used to think it'd be 3, assuming they'd end at Junon, but now I'm thinking 4.

Part 1 - Midgar
Part 2 - Up thru Cosmo Canyon, Nibelheim, or Rocket Town escape. Yuffie and Cait Sith join.
Part 3 - Up thru North Crater. Vincent joins.
Part 4 - The rest, every location from the previous 3 parts is revisited, it takes 4 blu ray discs, the PS5 SSD is magic

No world map, just nodes you select, FFX/Lost Odyssey style.

I also expect them every 2 years or so, they've got the engine down pat and a lot of the assets I assume can be re-used, and it's UE4 which I assume will work easily with the next gen hardware.

Three with significant cuts or changes to the post-Midgar portions of the game.

 

[Spaltazar]

part 1 - ps4
part 2 - ps5
part 3 - ps6, with remasters of part 1 & 2 being released

enjoy the ride, we are gonna be here for a while

Three parts, two discs each.

 

[Jessie]

I'm still thinking it'll be three parts, with part two introducing the entire world map, but ending after the Jenova Reunion. Part three will be about the Weapon battles, which will surely be insane.

 

[Duxxy3]

I'd say a minimum of three, but realistically I'm saying 5.

This. Please enjoy.

$180 for the FF7 Remake.

I think they compared it to FFXIII recently didn't they? So... three. But I voted two, because I want it to be two very badly.

 

[VodkaFX]

3 parts. More than that would be excessive (in terms of development time).

 

[Xavi]

3 parts is my guess. Midgar is like 30% of the original game.
