Square (as expected) ruins FFVII

[jarshale]

Now that I think about it I'm okay with episodic releases, depending on how long the parts are. Real talk, they just can't afford to recreate the entire game at once. It's fucking huge, especially when you realize that what would normally be one pre rendered background will be an open 3d area. Or at least as open as modern FF game design allows. The first Midgar and Shinra bldg sections could easily be a 20-30 hour game by itself.

Also I think they said something like the completed parts would be a longer game then the original, but that could just be bullshit. I'm tentatively keeping my hopes up though.
