Flash forward to 500 years later if old

[Heromanz]

So are we going to spend like five hundred bucks on a complete game?

 

[vestan]

Real talk, what other game remade would necessitate it being split into multiple parts like this? This case with FFVII Remake is unprecedented.

 

[Dale Copper]

Man if there's a clip of this, it would be a great meme.

 

[Twiz]

Please be excited

Xenogears

 

[Jake2byFour]

Damn see yall in the end of disc 3 on ps6

 

[Lunaray]

How does the producer not know the answer to this question?

 

[Soulflarz]

7hr of a 35hr game is now 2 blu rays
The complete collections gonna be huge

 

[alpha]

They aren't finishing these. I really don't think they are.

 

[Deleted member 11626]

If they really have no idea how many separate releases they're going to do, this project will never get finished

 

[Dest]

The fact that they don't know is very, very worrying.

IMO the same thing would have happened if they remade FF8/9. :/

 

[chrisPjelly]

They'll probably be done with the saga by 2022 to coincide with the 25th anniversary

 

[Sgt. Demblant]

Oh boy.

 

[Camells]

Mlik that cow haaaaaaard

 

[varkuriru]

Yep, sounds about right :p

 

[Xavi]

I'll be dead by the time this is finished I guess

 

[Calabi]

I fricking new it. They have no clue what they are doing and these are never going to be finished.

 

[B.K.]

Because they're making it up as they go along. They don't have a plan.

 

[Heromanz]

Yeah this ain't going to get finished

 

[Lant_War]

That's the most Square thing I've ever read.

Actually, them remaking Midgar and then remaking it again along the full game would be the most Square thing.

 

[Deleted member 31092]

The complete package is gonna span 3 gen

FFVII Remake remade
FFVII2 upressed port
FFVII3

 

[TheIlliterati]

The company is garbage and can't manage themselves out of a paper bag, as per usual.

 

[Pooh]

I expect that once they leave Midgar the cuts are going to need to be massive to get any sort of sane timeframe out of this

 

[orochi91]

Fuck that.

I'll buy the whole collection in 2026 when all the episodes have released.

 

[snausages]

Should have just made a linear action RPG.

 

[MegaXZero]

My will is going to force my decedents to finish this damn game.

 

[Kiraly]

Holy fuck man

 

[Nanashrew]

Sounds like scope creep.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

As long as each game is a full-length game, I don't give a shit. What they showed looks like a game I want to play.

 

[Moara]

They'll probably be done with the saga by 2023 to coincide with the 25th anniversary

Click to shrink...

lol that's very optimistic

 

[Dale Copper]

They would have a plan if it would actually end by then you would think....

 

[Mitch]

I'm not buying this until it's complete.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

How does the producer not know the answer to this question?

Click to shrink...

Difficult to see... always in motion is the future.

 

[BadWeddingSpeech]

The fact that they don't know is very, very worrying.

I don;'t think you have to be a stuido manager to think one needs a grand plan of how these will go......Kinda tells you all you need to know about Square at the moment.

 

[Socivol]

That kills all of the hype. I hope that was one of those management answers where they didn't want to say because if not, that's disturbing. There should be a product plan and a product roadmap so one would think he would know how many games they are creating.

 

[Deleted member 45414]

Square Enix is pivoting to a FF7aaS model.

 

[NHarmonic.]

How does the producer not know the answer to this question?

Click to shrink...

Yeah... like what about the budget? or times of development? or release?

this doesn't seem good at all.

 

[Deleted member 3010]

Oh fuck.

I thought it'd be two or three parts, but they don't even know themselves! LOL

Errrrr, I'm feeling weird about this now. Not even sure I wanna keep my pre-order if the story will be so deeply cut down to pieces.

 

[BadWeddingSpeech]

I'm not buying this until it's complete.

Click to shrink...

You will be 84.

 

[SpecDot]

Uuuuugh. C'mon Square. Figure this out. It can't be that hard. I was initially okay with it being split into different parts, but y'all not knowing how many is not a good look.

 

[Deleted member 8593]

boss

you can't put a number on legacy

 

[Calverz]

This has confirmed to me that i may as well wait to get it until next gen.

 

[MrConbon210]

I was all for the games being split up until now.

Jesus Christ you figure this shit out before you start making it. I hate when creators just make shit up as they go. Get a rough outline of what you want before working on it.

 

[The Last One]

Yeah... like what about the budget? or times of development? or release?

this doesn't seem good at all.

Click to shrink...

I mean, each game has its own budget, so...

And they probably know how many games will be.

 

[Deleted member 721]

someone should update this to ff7

 

[Deleted member 36578]

Haha
As long as it takes.

 

[jml]

IMO the same thing would have happened if they remade FF8/9. :/

Click to shrink...

I think 7 is the only one where the hype is there to make it possible though. They wouldn't be able to string too many people along for a like a decade of an FF8 remake, they'd be forced to make that one smaller.

 

[Sagadego17]

and kills all hype on this, damn it sqaure
