How would you feel if FF7 Remake is 5 parts with the following splits

OP
People said that about Midgar being an entire game, but *shrug*
Parts 1-3 Disc 1
Parts 4-6 Disc 2
Part 7 Disc 3
Realistically I think it's gonna be three parts with the world traveling significantly reduced as a result

I'd start the second part with Avalanche trying to infiltrate Junon and getting wrapped up in Rufus's inauguration. You can move the Kalm flashbacks so they take place during the trip to Costa del Sol.
Part 3 ought to end with the confrontation at the Northern Crater and Sephiroth acquiring the black materia. That's the natural end of the original game's third act.

I'd feel that this game will never be completed and that people would just be better off playing the original.
Don't think it'll be more than 3 parts, remember each part is of the size of a main final fantasy game, according to SE themselves.
I would bail immediately and never look back. That would be cartoonishly stupid of them to do.
They can't split the entire rest of the game into just two more parts. Midgar is just the prologue, they'd have to cut a shitload of content to squeeze 90% of the game out into two pieces.

Part 2 is way, way too short. It would consist of one small town, a single flashback sequence, a chocobo ride over a swamp, one cave, and then the events at Junon. That is way less than half the length of Midgar. Most of it other than the flashback could be legitimately skipped over in a single cutscene near the start of Part 2 if the devs wanted.
Do you really think I wantto spend 10 years of my life hearing about FF7 ? I love this game but fuck this noise, we've been hearing about a remake since 2005, I just want to have the game and move on. This shit is ten times worse than Versus XIII at this point
Pretty confident it will be 3 parts.
I think Midgar is the main area they wanted to expand and the rest will be a lot more true to the original

Yup. Ten years of "look how pretty we rehashed this thing you've already seen".
The future of Final Fantasy is so miserably uninspired.
Why on earth would they? The original you can only visit certain parts of Midgar again
There is a lot of content in Midgar, there is barely any between these two points.
But even IF they keep it true to the original, everything after Midgar still makes up 90% of the damn game. Combine that with cutscenes taking significantly longer due to voice acting and the fact these idiots have no idea how to design an RPG overworld and there's absolutely no way they can finish the entire rest of the game in two entries.
Kalm to Junon is extremely short, and it's hard to fathom how they could expand on it like they did with Midgar (which had areas that existed but weren't visited and have now since been expanded upon) so I think the 5 estimate here is a bit out there and unlikely.
Part 2 needs to have the Gold Saucer so you can put all the minigames there. The story can take precedence until that.
Yeah but Kalm to Junon has literally nothing happening.
5 parts is too much. If that's what they went for, i'd be out until they finish it in 30 years.
I've said for a long time - years - if I were in charge how I'd split it would be:
Kalm to Junon has the Nibelheim Flashback, which if expanded to take in ideas from CC and the like could run 3-4 hours on its own. It also has Fort Condor, which could be expanded to be a huge game, a large dungeon, gaining entry to Junon, Yuffie's recruitment (which is sure to turn from a 4-minute conversation into a multi-stand quest) - there's more than it seems. But probably not enough to make a "full size game" even with a lot of padding, imo. The funny thing is Kalm to Junon is probably not much shorter than Midgar in the original game in hour-content terms, but there's not nearly as much depth/content there in terms of how the setting could be explored or expanded when compared to Midgar.
- Midgar
- Nibelheim Flashback at Kalm to the Northern Crater (first visit, Cloud goes missing)
- Search for Cloud to Finale

I don't think about every thing as negatively as you. I see no reason the rest of the game can't be two parts.
Kalm to Temple of the ancients.
and then to end gane
I've been assuming it'll be 3 parts. That being said if it did turn out to be 5 I wouldn't care that much, as long as each part was substantial and high quality.
Because of a remake that's making a bunch of new additions and changes?
You're not going to get from Kalm all the way to Aeris dying in one entry. I'm sorry, it's not going to happen.
What the fuck else do they have to show nowadays? If you're not enthusiastic about having a decade of your life wasted on a remake, there's NOTHING to look forward to out of Square.
Yeah, this is the strongest suggestion so far.
Nibelheim is tutorial. Northern cave is the final dungeon, just how it was like in the original. Have some sort of Jenova or Sephiroth final boss.
Then part 3 is a Tifa game. Opens with Weapon attacking. The Weapons are the main plot point, with Meteor. You learn more about Holy and what could happen when it meets Meteor.
In several parts. They can change all they want, it will not be the full story. It will always be full of loose threads that can't be resolved so they will just add a bunch of new ones to make it feel each part is a full game by itself.
Putting new changes doesn't mean it will be better. It only means that they added more stuff, which can range to great to unbelievably bad. Their work on the compilation of FF7 makes me believe that it has a higher chance of being a disaster train than anything else.
The problem with it is that between Kalm and that first visit to the Northern Crater you have visited every single portion of the world map except the minor side areas only reachable by the Highwind or Gold Chocobo. Most of the second half of the story is revisits of old areas outside of Mideel and the true final dungeon.
They are not going to build the ENTIRE GAME WORLD for the middle entry when they couldn't even manage a tiny sliver of it for part 1. They will probably cut the second chapter off after Nibelheim or Rocket Town.
The whole reason they decided on multiple parts is because of the work required to remake the game to a modern standard. If Midgar takes up the resources of a single game, there's no way they'll cram three whole continents, with multiple towns and cities - not to mention an amusement park! - into the second one.
