Probably not. I'm guessing the character reveal for the trailer will be the Turks.

As big of a chance as seeing a Sanji fight to completion :p
Don't hold your breath for it, but I guess it could be possible. Although it's most likely just going to focus on the Turks.
A poster above suggested that people who didn't do in-depth research on the game would be uninformed idiots, and your post looked like you were saying the the same - that only idiots would complain about the game not containing the full story. When you said 'examples of people' it sounded like you were talking about actual people, not the hypothetical examples I posted.
Seems you were actually just accusing me of thinking they would be idiots, maybe for misunderstanding the box, which I don't appreciate. When I try to read that blurb from the perspective of someone who hasn't been researching this stuff, it comes across to me as vague.
I agree that the discussion is pretty pointless, though, if you;'re going to be this insistent that a $60 product shouldn't clearly and explicitly state basic information to paying customers on the box. By the arguments here, you would think we should just get rid of box information altogether. I mean, consumers can just look the game up on the internet, right?
OP
OP
We will never see red xiii until the games out because it would be towards the end, which is fine with me
Not labelling the first release as Episode 1/Part 1 or giving it a proper subtitle is just avoiding the "what, it's just Midgard?" backlash from the mass public until the game releases. There are a lot of people who are going to buy the game day one that are not necessarily attached to pre-release marketing that will just see FFVII on the shelves and buy it, only to find out it's not a complete remake.
It's not SE's fault that the Episode/Part wording has bad reception on the gaming community unless you are Naughty Dog, but launching this just as "Final Fantasy VII Remake" is going to be a headache next March and the experience of people who just want to play the game and comment it only is going to be brought down by a lot of "fake advertising" campaigns.

I mean, by this logic we wouldn't see the Shinra HQ until the game was out either, and yet we already saw it. I still wonder if the final escape might actually be delayed, and the second half has them as fugitives in the city.
They're pretty clear that it's the first of a multi part series though, to the point it's mentioned on the store page, and will almost certainly be on the back of the box. Branding it as Episode 1 is sales suicide, but at least they're being clear.
I think they'll definitely show him before release, even if it's just a brief tease, since he should be around for a significantly longer period of time in the remake.
I don't need to see anymore of this game. I'm 100% sold. Square, please don't show too much more new content before release. Seeing different special moments from the game, while playing the game itself, will be the best way to experience them.
Difference between a location that's literally part of the opening scene and is always present and a character that would only he there for a couple of scenes. I'll admit that would be cool.
I'm more then happy if I'm wrong
They're clear about that, but not so much that it's only adapting part of the original story, rather than turning the original story into part one of a larger thing with sequels and prequels and whatnot. Hell, FFVII has already gotten those before, and I could easily see the "multi-part saga" being misinterpreted as something more like what the Compilation was.
I seem to remember the store listing mentioning that it focuses on Midgar, but I could be wrong. It's worth taking a look and seeing if that changes your opinion (or not!)
I'm actually on Page 3 of my handwritten letter to Hashimoto stating my disappointment in the false advertising of this shameful project.
Since I only have enough money for single postage I'll also be adding my fan-fic ideas for TRUE sequels and a little love letter for Janitor Ito. I trust these will be passed along.

anyone want to take bets we'll jenova? i'll say it mostly revolves around the Turks but also a bit of sephiroth, rufus' father and a shot of jenova at the very end of the trailer. like a villain trailer.
EDIT:
lmao, i'm only on the second page.... but i will let these motherfuckers no of my disgust! part 1 on the box or no buy!

I mean, I would hope so, but I've heard some worrying theories that he really will be introduced only in the final couple of hours of this game, and that he won't be playable due to being hurt or just being a battle NPC. I really hope not.
Ehhh, they literally showed Cloud running around the HQ and even spoiled the Lone Tree in Midgar, but you might be right. Honestly, I wonder if we'll get much more after TGS. I suppose there's Jump Festa and the Game Awards, but I don't want them to spoil too much.

I already saw it. This is the relevant part of the blurb.
"The world has fallen under the control of the Shinra Electric Power Company, a shadowy corporation controlling the planet's very life force as mako energy.
In the sprawling city of Midgar, an anti-Shinra organization calling themselves Avalanche have stepped up their resistance. Cloud Strife, a former member of Shinra's elite SOLDIER unit now turned mercenary, lends his aid to the group, unaware of the epic consequences that await him."
Maybe you feel different, but to me that does not explicitly say at any point that it's set only in Midgar. It just gives an accurate summary of how the story begins. I think that would be a perfectly accurate back-of-box summary for the original game, with an eye toward avoiding spoilers of the latter parts of the game.
I think we'll see him on a new trailer near the release date but anything can happen...
1 hour to go!
I wonder ... could they be planning to release the remaining "episodes" as DLC? In which case naming the base product "Final Fantasy VII Remake" would be technically correct. I doubt it, since those would be some huge DLC downloads, but you never know.
They've described the parts as multiple separate games, like the FFXIII trilogy, so I strongly doubt it. Not to mention that they will almost certainly want to make the following parts for next-gen.
As long as the game delivers the kind of mainline level (volumewise) FF that offers the kind of thrillride that the demo seemingly promises throughout the whole game (of course with some downtime included), I don't think people will be all that pissed even if they are surprised by the cliffhanger ending.
In other words, if that "omg it's only 25% of the OG FFVII" still feels like it offers a 100% satisfying single experience, I'm not sure if a whole lot of people other than the biggest negative nancies will have much of a problem with it, with or without a noticeable Part 1 disclaimer somewhere in the description/cover/name.

True, on the "amount of content" side. I have no doubt it will be a full game in its own right, and I honestly hope it's so good that nobody cares when they find out it's "incomplete". It's just that that title... it really does feel dishonest, when many elements of FFVII almost certainly won;'t be there at all. Yuffie, Cait Sith, Vincent, Cid, Nibelheim, the Highwind, Gold Saucer, etc. I'm all good with that and am happy to wait, but I do worry about others.
It's just gonna be really difficult to contrive a final boss that feels satisfying based on where the story stops.
If it was on the cargo ship and the final boss was the first JENOVA that would be fine. But that stupid robot on the Midgar Highway is a really, really, really bad option for a final boss.
Man I just realized the plate collapsing is gonna be even more horrifying in this game.
The Turks turning into comic relief is gonna be even more jarring in this series with the episodic release.

Yeah I don't think it is the way to go. I think that Square thinks they are getting a lot more benefit by going to 2 discs than what really exists.
This too.
I really don't like the 2 disc decision, it makes me question where their head is at as far as this overall project, if they have their eye on the prize or not or are just trying to maximize what they can get out of it in the short term.
Maybe they added the keepers of fate for just that reason. Epic escape from Shinra/Midgar with the motorcycle section -> robot boss -> keepers of the fate somehow manifesting as a fightable boss that serves as a more story relevant end to Part 1 of what the Remake's version of the Midgar story is.
Hyped as hell for this. Gonna be game of the forever
But yup this is a PR disaster waiting to happen. They gotta change the blurb and make things blumming obvious somewhere on the box. Dunno why people are getting so defensive over this lol... we are not all 'haters'
MANY things are hopefully going to be very confronting. I really do hope they went for it and ended up with an M-rating.
My hope is that they roll that boss into the motorcycle escape to make that sequence more notable, especially since we've seen there are numerous chase sequences. Then the actual final boss is something new for the remake.
Maybe, but they more just look like symbolism rather than actual characters thus far. I kind of doubt you're gonna fight them.
Move the Rufus fight at the end of the highway, like idk he chases the gang with a Shinra helicopter or something.
t-minus 12 minutes oh baby
also I'm like 99% confident part 1 isn't ending with the highway robot. It's Nomura, some sort of fuckery will be afoot to get us on the hook for part 2.
This is a good call.
