Terrible comparison. Mass Effect was a new series and the developers told you how many parts it would be before it came out so you'd have a sense of the investment it would be to finish according to plan. No single entry became multiple unexpectedly when reprinted or ported later.As I've said, the anger-worthy side is we get a j-rpg without endgame, postgame or even a full party.
If you cba to read the back or the psn page before throwing money at SE, you must be either an enthusiast (informed) or simply not care about money.
I mean, it's not a good move, but Mass Effect wasn't titled "Mass Effect part 1" and was developed as a saga from its reveal...
Final Fantasy VII Remake is a remaking of an existing single entry game, but unlike the title and cover art that match the original, this is turning that single game into an unknown number of episodes that anyone who hears about releasing and wants on nostalgia will buy or send their spouse to buy without ever knowing to check the size 8 font under the pictures on the back. There are numerous examples of people not knowing the title was not reflective of it being a full remake in this very thread.
When Harry Potter decided to take a single published book and make it multipart, they announced it as two parts and each one said in the title and on the poster which part you were seeing so you knew it wasn't the whole piece.
