I added the "part 1" since some people online apparently complain that not saying it is part 1 only is clickbait, even though there's only one game named like that.

Red XIII won't be playable in Final Fantasy VII Remake part 1
- Thread starter Naga
- Start date
I find it funny you have to signify Part 1 and it's click bait if you don't when SQUARE IS CALLING THE GAME FF7 REMAKE.
Well yeah..that's what you get for cutting the game in parts. Red XIII is late late game during Midgar. What are you going to use him for?
Red XIII as a character is going to suffer for this. Who's going to start part 2 and say "yeah i'm going to use him" when you will have to wait two, maybe three years for part 2 to come out and he will not have proven himself as a character to make him compelling.

Why would this deter people from using him specifically and not every other character you get past part 1 as well? Red XIII sucks anyway so no point in using him but yeah.
Huh? I'd argue people who've played part 1 would look forward to trying out new party members?
That's a weird take tbh. The only thing that will suffer from this for Part 1 is less gameplay variety.
you know exactly how it's going to work. Let's be real. It's going to be separate
You see a character and you're going to have to wait several years to play as him. What happens after Midgar is a trip to Kalm and "maybe" an open-world section until Junon. There is no context to use Red XIII anymore considering the urgency is gone and his character arc doesn't pick up again until Cosmo Canyon. He's definitely going to suffer as a character for this.
Yeah this was pretty obvious from the last trailer where he was present in the battle but not part of the party
Makes sense, really, since he'll only be around for the final 4 hours, if that. Will be fun to play as him in whatever comes next.

Glad they finally confirmed it. Incredibly disappointing news and will absolutely affect how I look back on this part of the remake. I understand why they didn't do it but I'll honestly never forgive them for not making Red playable in this part. Huge bummer.
It will. Then an anime movie to cover Kalm to Gold Saucer, part 2 takes place starting from Cosmo Canyon.
Makes sense. By the time you get him, there's literally next to nothing to do with him since you're trying to get out of the tower and out of midgar.
Assuming before leaving Midgar and there isn't a ton of 'end game' side content to do, it's not like you would have been able to use him for that long anyway.
No just making up garbage lol. No way they do that (but I could imagine them skipping some 'playable' stuff in favor or just in game story sequences. An opening of part 2 just being kalm and the flashback rather than the player playing through them, but who knows).
Yes, they have confirmed it multiple times leaving Midgar is the ending.
Dataminers confirmed this, and I figured that a December demo was far too late into production to be an early idea later changed.
Curious as to what event occurs for him to be seen as a main party member. Red XIII doesn't leave your party after you rescue him in the original game, right?

Very expected, he literally join the group at the very end of Midgar arc.
To have him being playable as a guest character in the battles alongside the rest is totally fine by me.

Why do you think the second game will only consist of Kalm and maybe Junon?
I did not say this, I said what will happen after Midgar and how the game might or might not have an open-world section for the overworld. As in, Red XIII's arc doesn't pick up until way later.
I guess they might use Red XIII as a "guide" to the party/cast to a more open gameplay experience in the next part/volume. Assuming they have an open world approach for the next installment, maybe he's still a guest as part of a tutorial segment to get players used to that system, then joins proper.
I can understand that maybe they didn't want to flesh out Red XIII for this installment as he probably shows up in the last two hours or so, but I think it'll be interesting to see if they try to introduce him from being a guest to a main character.
While true if irc he's with you just for escaping and getting to Cosmo, then he decides to follow the gang on the quest.
Oh ok lol I mean I can see them doing something like that to be honest that's why I had to ask lmao
I'm sorry but that excuse is such nonsense. "We didn't want to make him playable because he wouldn't have a full character arc" what a load of shit. Red didn't have any development until you got to Cosmo Canyon anyway so what difference does it make if he doesn't have a full arc. Why is Cloud playable seeing as we won't get his full character arc in this part. Utter nonsense.
Sucks subjectively. Just a personal dislike lol. In terms of being a party member anyway.
