Yeah, I seriously think more than 20 years is likelier than less than 10.They've already been working on the game for ~5 years.
the whole project may take up to 20 year.
This is a reasonable response. I hope you're right and they don't try to re-architect anything in between games and push things out further.Future games won't be as time-consuming to produce
They've got all the character models, rigging, battle systems, materia systems, etc etc all built
So at this point it's environmental art, cutscenes, specific events or minigames, and whatever they're going to do with the overworld. It'll take time, but once that first one launches, the demand for the continuation will be such that they'll be on a train they can't stop.
I don't think they're going to finish it. It's a waste of money. They will make a shitton on episode one, and everyone who bought that will likely lose interest by the time episodes 2 and 3 come out, even though they will likely be more expensive to make, considering the amount of art assets.
Episodes 2 and 3 will cost a lot and less people will buy it. It really doesn't make sense from a business perspective to complete the remake. They will maximize their profit by just releasing episode 1.
about assets, while they dont need to do much about characters and gameplay mechanics, the assets of the cities, world etc is very different from midgar, so they will need to create, the last part of the game (if its 3) that one will be faster, because there's less new places, but the second part will need lots of work.This is a reasonable response. I hope you're right and they don't try to re-architect anything in between games and push things out further.
Within 4 years of FFXIII's release, they had given us FFXIII-2 and FFXIII: Lightning Returns, so it's not that wild. Asset re-use.ya'll 4yr people are WILD, took them 4 years to even give you midgar
First games cost more regardless due to not being able to reuse anything, so this isn't really likely. Under this logic 13-2 and 13-3 wouldn't have been made but they were made solely to offset the costs of 13.
30th.Eh, I'll go with 8 years. The final part will coincide with the 20th anniversary of the original release.
