Maybe they'll use relevant plot points to just scrap your inventory. For example maybe you lose your materia during the bike chase at the end of Part I (or during the jail part of the Shinra HQ).
Why wouldn't they allow a save game import to the next part?
I don't see why materia won't carry over. They're already planning on splitting the game because it's too big. So I imagine that they'll code in a way to carry over items from the previous game's save file since technically it's all one big story.
My point is not how inventry reset could be justified; my point is that I will feel bad if my materia has no continuity between games.
I dont get it your arguement. Why wouldnt they allow save transfer?
Because each game is a full game with its own gameplay progression. If I recall correctly I'm pretty sure FFIV: The After Years doesn't let you carry over your saves from FFIV.
Save transfer is the basic of the basics so i am 99 percent sure you will get to keep your materia in between all the games. I am far more concerned that there will be no overmap
Yeah I hope they don't do save transfer. I'm going to max out the characters in part 1, I hope they don't put an annoying power cap on us or make the following games too easy because of carry over.
.hack handles this by having level caps at each installment. Fitting since .hack is imitating an mmo and mmos have level caps.
I am sure items will carry over but not the levels, etc. Or the enemies will dynamically adjust to the carryover data so that you would be trampled even at lvl99 or as said above cap lvls for each episode
Don't you dare bring up dynamic level scaling! I get nightmares about that kind of thing. I mod them out of Skyrim for a reason. The player should get to decide what level difficulty they should be at, not the programmer.
Level caps are easy to implement. Moreover, they can always increase the level threshold. 99 doesn't need to be end.
After years is kind of a different beast and came years later than the original. This is multiple parts of the same game.
I can't see SE take that approach. Different types of games too. Single player jrpg and GaaS Looter shooter.
As long as you can still earn it in game I don't see it as a problem. I don't like it, but it could be worse. Like if they are exclusive to the special editions than that is straight up bullshit.
