Never change.

Midgar is what,

Dude it's a fucking sequel that retreads the original story because Sephiroth traveled back in time. It's retarded and has already raped Cloud's original character arc but we're already on the ride.

Midgar is like 5 hours and the game is probably 35-40 hours

>midgar
>5 hours
more like 3

?

If it doesn't make a huge jump in revenue when it eventually goes multiplat, I'm guessing Part 2 will be the end and they'll excuse it by saying 'they changed their destinies so FAST' or some shit.

a square employee already implied it will only be 2 parts
I find that hard to believe, unless they cut out a huge amount and streamline it

I think it will be 3 parts, and even then I'm expecting 0 exploration and a lot of cut areas

They initially said it would be three episodes. Then Nomura came out like two months ago and said they are "reassessing" how many episodes it would be. Most likely because they see that the next two episodes would be 100x more work than Episode 1 was. Or because the sales for Episode 1 haven't met expectations (which they haven't) and so Square is questioning if they should bother remaking the whole game.

Midgar is like 1/8th the original game. If that. They'd have to make 7 more episodes to redo the whole game at this rate. And there's no way they're going to do that, because of production costs and how poorly the first episode sold. This is going to be just like FFXV. Huge promises, then Square just quietly cancels it halfway through.

There won't be anymore epidoes.

I hope not, i want more

And the original game was one single game. They could have remade it in one game.

>They could have remade it in one game.
True. But they would have had to drastically reduce the scale of graphics. Which for the record, I think they should. This obsession with pushing graphical limits is the biggest thing that's been hurting Final Fantasy since the PS1 era.

Dragon Quest XI is a game with 150+ hours of content and good graphics, with just a base game release. No DLC or expansions. FFVII could have done the same. But it's pretty blatant that Square management was trying to turn FFVII into a multi episode release to do what they tried to do with FFXV.

Maybe

What new history? I only played the original

not him but there are now multiple timelines in FFVII and they've made clear the events from the original game will not repeat. ideally this would mean we get a whole new interesting story set in the same world with the same characters but it's a lot more likely this new story will be an excuse to skip a lot of content from the original game and justify it with "but it's a new story"

Barret was killed but now he's alive again
Also so is Biggs and possibly Wedge and Jessie

And the very plausible theory that this entire new timeline is just an excuse to allow Aeris to be alive. I wouldn't doubt that they're just copying Chrono Cross' story, as Nojima is a hack who can only copy things. Plus games like FFX and XIII had a lot of obvious influences from Chrono Cross.

>Huge promises, then Square just quietly cancels it halfway through.
This seems more and more likely, how long in between parts and how much money does it cost to make it? It's very unlikely part 2, 3, etc will draw as much hype or attention and be worth making

Yes. One part per each PS1 disk.

setting a whole RPG in one location allowed them to cut a lot of corners in part 1. I think trying to tell the story beyond midgar is far too huge a task for them unless they cut so many corners that it's not even worth them doing

a third of the original script

Original had 3 disks. The remake/sequel being 3 parts seems fitting.

FF7: REMAKE
FF7: RELIVE
FF7: REVIVE

PART 2 kicks off with a flash back.
It should spend lots of time on flashbacks to ZACK and the Wutai war.

>It should spend lots of time on flashbacks to ZACK and the Wutai war
lol no

not accurate

explain

That's my big fear. I think the remake was stretched too far. Just finished the plate crash part, and really felt like it's been stretched hard so far.

>It should spend lots of time on flashbacks to ZACK and the Wutai war.
You're basically doing a remake of Crisis Core at that point, which I wouldn't mind. The events of that game are still in tact, minus the ending.
I think Part 2 should show what changed with Zack beating the firing squad. He's my favorite character in FF7, so I'm excited to see more of him.
