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
I never stated that they were idiots? Read my post again, I literally did the exact opposite.
But whatever, if you're going to just sling random insults at me over a title of a video game then this discussion is a waste of time.
Gotcha, thanks.
Lmfao fuuuuuuck youuuuuuAs 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.
We will never see red xiii until the games out because it would be towards the end, which is fine with me
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.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 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.We will never see red xiii until the games out because it would be towards the end, which is fine with me
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 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.
I'm more then happy if I'm wrongI 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 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!)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'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.

I think we'll see him on a new trailer near the release date but anything can happen...
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.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.

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.

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.Possibly, but that would be wrongheaded. The amount of content in the game will most likely be worth the price, but the 'lacking the complete story' aspect is a factor. Like, if someone did some light googling of the original and saw stuff like Vincent, Cid and the Highwind and thought they looked cool, then grabbed the remake looking forward to seeing them, that would be kind of a shame.
This too.I imagine the reason they even say that it's on 2BDs is to combat the episodic complaints
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.
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.It's just gonna be really difficult to contrive a final boss that feels satisfying based on where the story stops.

Hyped as hell for this. Gonna be game of the foreverI 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.
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.
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.It's just gonna be really difficult to contrive a final boss that feels satisfying based on where the story stops.

Move the Rufus fight at the end of the highway, like idk he chases the gang with a Shinra helicopter or something.
