How long until Final Fantasy VII remake complete? (poll)

Around four to six years I suppose if making three parts, best case scenario being a new game every two years. Having assets to work with and gameplay mechanics already established is pretty much the only reason I'm being generous in spite of the history of their notoriously long development cycles, along with Midgar being the largest scale and most intricate location in FFVII.
They've already been working on the game for ~5 years.
the whole project may take up to 20 year.

Yeah, I seriously think more than 20 years is likelier than less than 10.
This is a reasonable response. I hope you're right and they don't try to re-architect anything in between games and push things out further.
6 is my guess, assuming it'll be 3 games total.
Just under 1 year before Part 1 releases.
2 years for Part 2.
3 years for Part 3.
Or maybe flip Part 2 and 3, 2 might take longer if they ramp up the tech for next-gen consoles, and then they can use that same tech for Part 3 so it should be a little faster.

I don't think they're going to finish it. It's a waste of money. They will make a shitton on episode one, and everyone who bought that will likely lose interest by the time episodes 2 and 3 come out, even though they will likely be more expensive to make, considering the amount of art assets.
Episodes 2 and 3 will cost a lot and less people will buy it. It really doesn't make sense from a business perspective to complete the remake. They will maximize their profit by just releasing episode 1.

First games cost more regardless due to not being able to reuse anything, so this isn't really likely. Under this logic 13-2 and 13-3 wouldn't have been made but they were made solely to offset the costs of 13.
I clicked on the thread to post my prediction... but saw the overwhelming positivity, like seriously never saw this much positivity anywhere else it's so touching.
... and I decided not to vote and post any prediction of mine.

about assets, while they dont need to do much about characters and gameplay mechanics, the assets of the cities, world etc is very different from midgar, so they will need to create, the last part of the game (if its 3) that one will be faster, because there's less new places, but the second part will need lots of work.
It's multiple games so years and years. And considering that it's going to be made in full games, I don't really care, even more when I'll take months to beat it.
Within 4 years of FFXIII's release, they had given us FFXIII-2 and FFXIII: Lightning Returns, so it's not that wild. Asset re-use.
That said, I'm gonna add a little more padding to that. I think 5-6 years, assuming it's 3 games.
Well 13-2 and 13-3 reused lots of assets. If we're talking about a pretty faithful remake of FFVII we're talking about a lot of new areas with absolutely no art assets represented in episode 1. It's probably triple, maybe quadruple.
Unless they cut. A lot.
I'm hopeful that they'll focus on 7 for the foreseeable future and be done with it in 5 years from now (part 2 in 2022, part 3 by this time in 2024). But I'm pretty sure that ain't happening.
Eh, I'll go with 8 years. The final part will coincide with the 20th anniversary of the original release.
reckon the first game will underperform, being neither exciting enough for new players and too new to appeal to casual fans of the original, they'll try and remedy it with increasing the scope of part 2 in late 2023, but by then people will have lost interest in the weirdly conceived remake project and the conclusion will come out as a cg movie in 2025.
So what exactly are we buying in Mar 2020? With all those nice editions announced..not even a full gm??!!
No reaction threads – To prevent clutter we will lock all reaction threads during E3. A reaction thread is a topic about a hot take or some other personal reaction to anything that did or did not happen during E3. Examples include "Why wasn't the Switch 2 announced?", "Did Ubisoft just win E3?" and "I can't believe the leaks were real". These sort of topics can be discussed in news threads and conference threads.
