If they were doing that then Square would actually be misleading the public since the product description everywhere says it's part one. That one user on here may actually have a case to sue for a misleading product lol
There are a billion reasons why it wouldn't happen. Never said it was realistic lol.
More than one, and that bit is obvious. Two or three parts, depending on how they want to handle production. For all we know, they could be back to their early 2010 arrogance with sales and use that as a reason to downsize production on sequels. VII Remake might be unique compared to other FF projects that have more than one mainline release related to it as production values are expected to increase with releases. The XIII trilogy, by contrast, had costs and scope decrease, which did show up in hilarious ways in games like Lightning Returns. VII's scope expands exponentially after Midgar, and we've seen them decide to dedicate the first volume to this area alone.
I'm expecting three volumes of VII Remake releases, personally. While Disc 3 for the original (unless my memory is wrong) was really just for the final dungeon, they can expand a lot of Disc 2 as a full release and then move some of that towards a final third part.
Torn on whether or not to play this alleged demo. I've waited so long, and the final product is so close so it might be worth it to just experience it all in its totality.
just for fun I regraded the midgar image to look more like the original

The fact that this is even a conversation point to me is just ridiculous regarding the whole secrecy behind remaking this entire game. I understand they can't give a definite answer of how many parts there will be, but the whole "no part 1 on the cover" thing combined with historical precedent regarding SE"s overly ambitious announcements followed by years of no communication (FFXV, KH3) leaves me worried.
Absolutely cannot wait for this game, but wish there was more open communication about their plans for the entire project.
Three parts make the most sense, because the plot has three acts. Since the first is Midgar, and that's what this game is covering...at this stage, we can presume the other two acts are their own games. It makes even more sense because the progression in Acts One and Two is semi-linear -- while there are diversions, you're generally following from place to place to place. It's the beginning of Act Three that allows you to explore the world, and so it makes sense to make that effort in the final part along with the remainder of the story.
And overall, "it makes sense" is something that has come up a lot in the development of this game. We've seen a lot of rational decision making across the implementation of this remake, and so I'm hopeful that this may continue.

As a fellow German, you must have some other region account. Use that one. You need PS+ for so many demos in Germany and you don't in other regions. I guess it has something to do with the ratings. I used my US account.
Thank you. It's been so long since I used the PSN Store, I completely forgot about that aspect. I found the demo on the US store and I'm downloading it down.

I wasn't feeling the combat at first, I would appreciate a bit more complex/varied a combo system, but the system started to grow on me during the Scorpion mecha boss fight and during the escape it clicked even more. With a whole 3 member team & more varied abilities unlocked, I can see this being really fun even if there could be a bit more depth to a single character's move set.
And the game wasn't a total push over either. Cloud was knocked out during my Scorpion fight, lol. At least you need to put some thought into evading, blocking and healing.

Yeah, I've felt this way all gen. I switched to PC last gen but never realized how much I needed 60fps until I bought a PS4 on day one and... just couldn't cope. It's why Horizon Zero Dawn is my most anticipated game release this year =D
I'm really glad Square released a demo though! I always intended to wait for the PC version, but a free demo on PS4 will help scratch the itch until then, as well as remind me why I'm waiting =P
Knowing Square, it wouldn't have had a PC simulaunch anyway, so technically nothing being lost here.
Do you remember those many threads asking, "What can X dev/game learn from God of War?" and so many people were cynical suggesting that this is a stupid convo to have? Apparently Kitase literally says one of the games that inspired the team to bring it to the modern age was God of War. It's in Skill Up's preview:
