Square Enix Doesn't Know How Many Games Final Fantasy 7 Remake Will Span

As long as they don't try to create a new engine for every new addition it shouldn't take too long for the other games to come out (being very hopeful here.) I'm guessing it will still be 3 games as very few if any games has made more than 3 games that directly relate to each other.

My bigger concern is how they are going to transfer the skills, levels, items, etc. to the next game. I hate the feeling of having to start all over for each iteration. Especially since a lot of the materia was made to level up between discs. Many of the spells wouldn't get to the 3rd level until into disc 2. The E-skill was carried through the whole game.

They don't KNOW? How inept are you people? Have you planned anything out, or are you just going to see how many times you can get people to pay full price for the same game? Pathetic.

Back in the day, it took about 5-6 hours to get out of Midgar. FFVII as a whole was about a 60 hour game. So, episode 1 will essentially be 10% of the main over arching story. Of course, Remake part 1 will not simply be a 6 hour game. I'm sure theye going to add a bunch of additional Avalanche content to, you know, actually make you care about Jesse, Biggs, and Wedge. They will also probably allow you to go to the other sectors of Midgar beyond just Sector 7 and 5.

Still, how do you make 6 hours of content stretch out into a stand-alone $60 AAA title? There's gonna be a lot of padding and a lot of open-world mechanics they likely throw into this. Does this mean FFVII Remake will be a 10(ish) part series? If so, damn, I guess we'll be finishing it on PS7...

"As many as we can possibly milk out of it."

As we all know by know The FF series has the most obnoxious fan base right?.... "How Many Games Will Final Fantasy 7 Remake Be? 'We Don't Know Ourselves" Then why trigger the subject? Click-bait cheap article to direct more traffic to the site

Oh i wonder how MANY years it took CD Projekt to complete Cyberpunk...but as long it's not a FF game then it's ok ..again the most obnoxious fan base, Well played GS lol

Okay. Hard pass.

This is going to take at least another 10 years, and that's being optimistic. They themselves don't know how long it will take since they don't know how many parts it will be.

Not much of the world they created will be useable in future installments since the rest of the world will need to be created for the first time.

I wish Final Fantasy would just hurry up and die. It's a scourge in the current form that it's in.

They want to see how well the game sells first before they decide how long to drag it out.

Yeah, I know. Pessimistic, but Squeenix has been doing their best EA impression of late, so I don't know what to tell you.

I hope the PC version is only released when this game is completely complete. With many things better than the PS4 version, not only the graphics.

I doubt the other parts will take as long most of the base systems are now implemented at least hopefully anyway and yes this took 4 years but didnt square have to take it back after someone else botched it?

Sooo... Does the physical copy at least come with a voucher for all the episodes, or do they honestly expect people to pay $60+ for a mere portion of the game? Because if not, then this is quite possibly the biggest ripoff in gaming history!

Actually the battle systems great, infact it's better then before, it's dynamic final fantasy atb system, why you ask because you can map key skills and powers for fast game play, or play in manual mode where each hit is dynamic but you end up with slow motion allowing you to see the beautiful dust, smoke sparks and explosions while delivering those awesome cute scenes we have always liked.

To be honest was not sure how they would incorporate such feature especially when dealing with summons.

So far I'm impressed, especially when it will be on two disks.

I can see it now, midgar will be one huge loading screen from start to finish right up to when you exit midgar.

Episode 2 will have you embarking on your adventures towards chocobo ranch (probably right up to where you encounter the snow board stage, or maybe sephiroph goes bat shiwizzle crazy.

Being episode 3 departing from the destroyed village.

Do remember all, final fantasy 7 came on almost 5 disks, so it's fair to announce two disks for episode 1.

screw this, i'm out

Like someone said, Midgar ia only 25% of the whole story, and it took them 5 years to finish (or more than that) i cant think how the hell they are going to do this specially with new consoles starting to come out next year! I would hate the first episode to be current gen and the rest future gen, wont do justice but oh well, it looks good at least

Yeah; I'll just wait for the complete edition thank you very much. That's if I'm still even interested in the game by then... probably 2030 or something. Bah!

My god how long will the rest of it take? We have been waiting over 4 years just for this one. I got a feeling it’s going to be a new episode every 2-3 years.

That's interesting that this is just part 1

Sounds like the remam er remake is massive in scale.
