Famitsu Update : Final Fantasy 7 Remake is on two BD discs
- Thread starter sinonobu
- Start date
The XIII trilogy games each came out within 2 years of one another.
Star Ocean 4 on Xbox 360 was similar to this. After you moved to disc 3 for the last part of the game you had to backwards disc swap if you wanted to return to previous planets, then do it again to proceed further in the game. It also had no dual audio unlike the PS3 version because they could only fit one audio track.
Thankfully, every console comes with an harddrive of at least 500gb
With two blu-rays of content for part 1 and an unknown amount of parts, I'm worried about how much space the full game will take up in the end aha. Bless physical for easy re-install then.
How is it damage control knowing how big FF7 and its variety of iconic locations is compared to most current games if you're going to build out the scale of these places to AAA full 3D levels instead of small pre-rendered areas that cover huge locations in a handful of screens?
That said, it's ridiculous that they're not putting part 1 on the case.
This. I think plenty of people are hyped for a full 2-disc quite expanded Midgar. Hell, the part 1 probably wouldn't even be seen as a bad thing by many lol.

Well, Square, that's one way to keep people talking about your game, just make them so confused that they have to keep asking questions for clarification.
They just wanted to say "this game is BIG!" while also making a cheeky nod back to the PS1 multi-disc days
I think it looks amazing, but doesn't make this comment any less true. Most people that buy this game aren't on Era, and some will probably have the impression this is a legit full game remake
Yep, they should seriously add "Part 1" or some sort of subtitle like "FF7: something something of/from Midgar"
Ya, considering S-E's official store still says 2 discs:
FINAL FANTASY® VII REMAKE - 1ST CLASS EDITION [PS4]
Please note, this is a soft bundle. The FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE Deluxe Edition contents are bundled separately from the Play Arts Kai Cloud Strife & Hardy Daytona.The world has fallen under the control of the Shinra Electric Power Company, a shadowy corporation controlling the planet’s very...

Mass Effect 2 was this way, too. I wonder what the data reasoning is, huh.
By the original, probably 10-15% into the game, if that. They're expanding Midgar so we don't know for sure. But unless they're cutting half of the rest of the game out i don't see how they take less than 5 or 6 years to develop the rest. And it will be a much longer game than the first part.
I honestly think that if they wanted to make 2 parts, they should cut it after Junon. They could have one continent be the first part and everything else the second part. They could end part 1 on the ship crossing the ocean and everything.
Didn't they say during the presentation that this release is only part of the complete FFVII experience? I felt they were pretty clear on this only being the beginning of the game. However, I have also followed this more closely than many casual gamers would and also have my experience playing the original game on PSX so I know they have plenty to tackle before the complete game is remade.
Can you imagine how huge a FFVI remake would have to be? We'd be waiting 15 years for that if they went all out.

Famitsu. They grabbed an image from the stream rather than the one that actually had the correct info (bad on SE for using that image in the first place), however everything since then points towards FFVIIR's March release having two discs.
Of course, as pointed out throughout the thread, the Japanese version may be one disc.
Yes, pretty much everyone in here.
This is ridiculous. The gams markets itself. All you have to do is explain the scope of the project, what's there for each entry, and how you've expanded upon the initial game. And they've bungled every aspect of this, giving incomplete or contradictory information. Even the name is confusing.
100% agree. If they dont make it clear and just release it as FFVII REMAKE that's pretty scummy of them.
At the rate they are doing (Midgar is the first game) they're aiming for roughly 8 games to complete it.... (Midgar was less than 1/3rd the first disc and was essentially a giant tutorial)
Yeah.
And like I said, I think plenty of people are hyped for an expanded Midgar to where the part 1 probably wouldn't even be seen as a bad thing and new people can be told on the product page it's still a 20-30+ hour RPG.
Yup.

Agreed. Also - if the wait we have had to endure for the first episode is any indication, this game is going to span across generations and take 5+ years to finish completely. I also think we will be paying somewhere around 180 dollars for the entire package total (I think there will be 3 episodes).
By the time we get to episode 2 or 3, will episode 1 look worse in comparison? With ps5/new xbox coming out, wouldnt the newer titles want to take advantage of that hardware? So we run into this awkward situation where we are playing the "same game" but episode 2 and 3 look and perform vastly different from episode 1.
There is a lot of questions to be answered, but I am very hype for what they showed. I believe they are going to do this thing right no matter what. You can tell they have poured their heart and soul into this project to make the true ultimate edition of one of the best games of all time. I wish more devs would take the same care for some of their remakes.
they also recycled a shitton of assets and had generally lower production value
ff7 locals are much more diverse, but hey as this is a remake they could always sameify it to reuse assets they made for midgar
Maybe its just an installation disc to install a bunch of content on 1 disc and then you use the other to play?
The second disc is for the PS5 release.
Includes Game on 2 Discs.
Disc one ends in the Forgotten City after the death of Aerith. Disc 2 ends after the raid on Midgar. Disc 3 has next to zero content on it except the North Cave.
On the Playstation blog they say 2 discs.
that just means the art on the box is not final which makes sense because a black background with the logo probably wont be it...
kitase confirms 2 blurays for the game in this interview

Uhhhghh... this is kinda killing the hype. Why Square doesn't come to public and make this clear? I first thought it would be the entire game in 2 discs, in the same release date. Then, I saw it was 2 discs for the 1st part, and I thought it would be 2 parts. Then, I discovered they haven't confirmed how many parts it will have. And now we don't even know anymore if that's gonna be, in fact, 2 discs for the 1st part. And up until this point Square is completely silent about a thing that should not be reason of any doubts.
Yeah... that sounds pretty clear to me... they were talking about inculding japanese voices in the english version of the game, and he says it will not be an issue cause this will be in 2 blu-ray discs. I guess it settles it... it's misscomunication from Famitsu.

he also confirms its only midgar in the interview i dont have the time stamp
I was thinking maybe Japan won't get a second disc, but instead an oversized mandatory download (in an effort to save money printing another disc for that specific region) but this tweet kind of cements that Famitsu made an error. The IGN and I THINK Gamespot interviews confirmed 2 physical discs
