The game that publisher Square Enix is calling "Final Fantasy VII Remake" is actually an expanded and enhanced version of the Midgar section of the original Final Fantasy VII, which comprises roughly the first four hours of the game. The remake looks (and feels) great so far, but we don't know when the whole project will actually be finished—director Yoshinori Kitase told me at E3 that they hadn't even figured out how many parts it will be.
Based on what we've seen so far, it's safe to say that this PS4 game will feel drastically different and be a lot bigger than the original Final Fantasy VII's Midgar. The story is expanded, the gameplay is completely overhauled, and there are a ton of changes both big and small. But it's still just a fraction of Final Fantasy VII's complete story. So why is there no indication anywhere on this box that this is just part one? (Square Enix didn't immediately respond to our questions about this.)
