Final Fantasy VII Remake: Why A Multi-Part Release Might Not A Bad Idea - Victory Point

VP Writes: In 1997, players were captivated by the enthralling journey that is Final Fantasy VII. We were charmed by a diverse cast of characters and our hearts ached at the loss of FFVII’s most beloved one. Am I over it? No. Will I ever be? Probably not.

There is nothing good about a multi part release for this game as far as I'm concerned

Activemessiah3010d ago

One of the reasons for the episodic route was " The Game is too big to fit into a bluray disc"

Ok.. last I checked the game was too big to fit into a CD hence the 3 discs so can someone tell me why the game can't go into 3 bluray discs?

TheOneWhoIsTornApart3010d ago

I don't know why this is so hard for people to grasp. Their vision for this remake is HUGE and will be far too expensive and big for one release. It needs to make a profit for all their hard work and efforts as well mind you. Don't think as the remake as one game being split up like episodes because that isn't what this is. It is multiple AAA games that have tons of content which Nomura and Kitase have confirmed.

Activemessiah3010d ago

Sooo... what you're telling me is.. I should wait for GOTY edition.. ok.

TheOneWhoIsTornApart3010d ago

I guess my comment just went straight over your head. Oh well I tried.

That wasn't quoted from Kitase but the person who wrote the article. This "episode" nonsense is getting absurd. They have already explained that each part is a full game so can we please put this nonsense to rest now?.

I'm 100% okay with episodic releases, as long as it's $15 or below. And if it's just Midgar first, it better have enough things to do to make at least 10 hours minimal, which means about from the bombing to the president's assassination and the motorcycle escape.

TheOneWhoIsTornApart3010d ago

No dude you don't understand. The game is NOT episodic. They are going to be full AAA games. They won't be little slices of gameplay for 10-15 bucks like TellTale games. This "episodic" nonsense has gotten way out of hand.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens529d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK21219d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens528d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens528d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani8d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum9d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman9d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim9d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

I disagree Batman

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
