Seriously some are considering waiting for god knows how many years to play a series of full scaled games when no one is guaranteed tomorrow?
Anyone going to wait for FF7 Remake to finish releasing before they start the game?
- Thread starter Squarehard
- Start date
I feel the opposite. I don't understand why you wouldn't wait. It's like watching a movie, but you only get to see the first 30-45 mins before waiting a year or more before you can see the next section.
People will say that each piece is promised to be just as robust as a standalone FF title, but do people actually believe that?
The day they come out is the day I will play each part. There is no reason to wait for all of then to be out just because the story is divided in part because at the end of the day I'm sure that each of those games will be more than 80 hours long.
It's simple, I know the story already. Also I'm not going to just wait for something I'll play them as they release and whose to say the other ones event get made? Also it's not a movie it's a video game therefore I don't feel that logic applies here.
That honestly isn't that bad if you just do the main story and completely ignore all the side content.
Your point is stating the obvious? I am lost here. maybe I started to drink too early, lol.
It's a long enough range of time for some kind of catastrophe to come upon someone. Type of disaster that makes it impossible to play the game moving forward, e.g. death. So you have to ask yourself whether you are willing to take that chance.
I probably won't wait until it's finished. God only knows when that will be. I'm definitely not playing the games at launch and paying full price for them, though. I have no faith in Remake. I'll buy Episode I a couple months after its release when I can get it for $25 or $30 used.

Yep, absolutely going to wait. I get the whole story from start to finish, will save money, and will most likely get a better experience because they would've patched the previous parts through the years. I'll end up only playing them in parts if they get offered for free on PS+ or see some crazy discount or something.
I'd probably wait. The changes to the battle system mean this is no longer really a priority for me.
There's no way Remake is just a trilogy. They bloated the first three hours of VII into one game. It will have to be five or six, at least.
Day one. Every part.
There's little reason to believe that the entire game will receive this level of expansion. They're expanding Midgar because it's such an iconic location that went relatively unexplored in the original game.

this is a really unique thing - repaying a game that was huge when it drooped over 20 years ago, remade from the ground up - you get to subvert all the expectations of those of us who already think they know what's coming
episodic releases kinda add to the hype, and they know everyone's gonna want to experience the next chapter before it's inevitably ruined by social media/think pieces
no way I'm missing out on that, god knows ill prolly just double dip for a physical collection when it's done anyway

I wish we could get an update on plans moving forward with games...probably cant until first one is out I guess.
Last I remember was just in planning stages a half a year ago or so.

Not sure yet, but given the timescales involved, I'm probably going to hold off until next gen at least; might as well play them all on the same platform, particularly if there's anything planned about save migration between episodes - I suspect that may be more of a hassle if changing platforms as well.

I have zero faith that S-E is actually going to finish this. I'm holding off on this at least until I know for certain that it actually has a "full Final Fantasy game length" in there—that they haven't shown anything from "expanded midgar" leaves me skeptical that it actually exists.
Not completely sure yet but currently leaning towards waiting until the complete/definitive edition. There will likely be some improvements and/or extra content over the initial release and it might even be available on a Switch successor or another portable, which is how I'd rather play RPGs these days. I don't have that much of an attachment to VII, so I'm OK with waiting it out.
Originally I was going to wait (Since PSO2 is probably coming around that time), but Amazon had an amazing pre-order deal so I couldn't pass that up. I'll probably play the first part on PS4 and then wait for the rest. Unless the game blows me away to the point that I gotta get the other ones ASAP. I'm excited for the remake don't get me wrong, but a lot of us already know how this one ends so I'm not going crazy about it. (yet! lol)
Out of curiosity, how often do you wait for franchises to finish before starting them?
I mean the point was pretty fucking clear from the start. I'll wait til its finished since the company has a history of taking ages to put out some games, if this still goes by you then pls don't bother.
It could be a few years until they release all parts so why wait?
As a side note, did they announce how long part 1 is going to be?

I'm 36yo, if I wait until all parts of FF7 (or Shenmue for that matter) are ready, I'm afraid I won't live long enough.
As long as a FFXIII game (30-40 hours, with 20-30 more optional side content)
Good, because I read somewhere that part 1 is only about 4 hours from the original so I was worried about that.
It's based on a 4-5 hour section from the original, but they're heavily expanding it.
Waiting for them all would require me to have faith that SE will release them on some kind of regular schedule and that all of them will be made. Frankly, I don't have faith in either of those two at this point.
I might not grab them all on day one, but I plan to pick them up long before they are all released.
