The fallacy of the complaint that "Final Fantasy VII Remake only takes place in Midgar"

Damn, I just checked my save files and I've got 13 minutes at the No. 1 Reactor save point, and that's before the Guard Scorpion.

another angry, snide comment..
guys, I've already clarified and apologized in this thread.
Please take it easy, thanks. <3
New models just like the FFVIII remaster, New 3D environments, same turn based combat, and I would have been good.
After seeing the demo, the way they stretched everything ... it still remains incomprehensible to me how SE wanted to divide the game into several parts
Continues to be the worst argument made in ff7r threads. People have waited a long time for a remake of this game and telling them to replay the original isnt addressing their complaints about this approach.
Man I just want a Part 1 or an Episode 1 or a subtitle to show that it's not the entire story remade at the moment in this release.
People keep talking like this will make Square lose sales. For what? Final Fantasy VII remade with new graphics? They're going to make so much money that its ridiculous. People eat this stuff up.
"Look at the back of the box". Boy I feel really sorry for the poor Target/Walmart employees who have to continuously open the glass doors to get the game out so that a potential customer can meticulously read the back of the box to find that clarification. When they could easily just put it in the front.
Most of the people who aren't happy with the way Square is presenting this game aren't trying to make it fail or lose sales. Many of us are big fans of the game. I just think that Square should be better at its marketing when it comes to those who aren't poring over every trailer and interview.

Isn't climbing the stairs one screen that is repeated several times with some dialogue about how long it's taking to climb these stairs? I really doubt they're going to flesh out or expand that location in any meaningful way lol
More to the point, Square hasn't shown the slightest ability in any of their recent RPGs of being capable of handling story, plot or characterization in any way that comes close to their peak 15-25 years ago.
I simply don't trust them to understand the appeal of all the varied parts that made FF7 special to all its fans. The small moments of melancholy, the humor, the feelings of nostalgia for places you've never seen or been to in real life, the way to pace story beats for impact...none of these are things that Square has proven capable of understanding or utilizing nowadays.
The rando additions like the weird ghosts to the scene with Aeris do not inspire confidence about their ability to expand a small part of the OG game into something meaningful or non-redundant in part 1 of the remake.
Don't you know? Big companies make games with hundreds of people working for years just for the love of it. /s
jokes aside, they are misleading the public by not putting a "Part 1" in the title.
I guess they just think the general public won't even finish the game after 20 hours of nostalgia trip.
I'm not particularly a fan of FF7, but I would have been somewhat interested in this remake if it hadn't been split into parts. I think spending 20-40 hours or more in Midgar sounds awful, to say nothing of how the rest of the story may be dragged out. Then having to wait years for an unknown number of full-priced chapters before the whole thing is finally finished? No thanks.
I'm really intrigued to see what they do with this, 'cause the motorcycle chase and mech fight is an excellent End Of Act 1, but it's really not a great climax to a story. I'm hoping they add in something that can be fully resolved narratively within the scope of the single game.
Ditto. What I wanted from an FFVII remake was a graphical upgrade and a better translation. The battle system was still good and the non-1:1 world map is fine. Now, we'll be lucky for the remake to be complete 10 years after announcement. If it does ever finish.
