Eh, Midgar did have, like, a good 30% of the text in the entire game. It probably will get the most expansion.

It’s not being released into chapters. If Square’s to be believed--and what they’ve shown so far is pretty positive, but that certainly may not hold--each remake part will be the full size and scope of an actual Final Fantasy game. It’s not episodes in a season of TV, where each one has an incomplete story even if it…

oflol let’s not let nostalgia get in the way though. the original games were every bit as silly as the silly parts of the new games, and the dialogue is just as overdramatic. The older games that were released in the West had a lot of the dialogue changed in localization, so the issue with the dialogue is that it’s…

“filthy lying review”? Dude, it’s just a game. Hell, it’s far from the worst game out there; even with uneven writing and poor presentation of story (with the important points being shoved into the menu), it had fantastic graphics for the time, and the soundtrack is multilayered and complex. Personally, I loved the…

I could see that! I’d worry that the entirety of part 2 leading into Aerith’s death would end up providing too much content for part 3 in comparison, though.

Haha, that it is. The curse of the internet. I remember we didn’t get any info for a year or two and suddenly the remake was vaporware.

Yep. Splitting hairs, to be fair--most cynical takes I see project longer than 10 years--but my thoughts are that, overall, it miiiight not take as long as we think. By no means “fast,” but faster than the 4.5 years to make this part, and we legitimately don’t know if they’ll keep it 3 parts or what. (After all, disc…

It’s a pretty small part of the game itself, yeah, but according to Tim Rogers in his retranslating stream of the original, around 30% of the game’s text as a whole is located in Midgar alone. Most estimates place the length of the Midgar storyline at 5-6 hours or so, out of a roughly 40 hour game, making it roughly…

It might be too ambitious, you’re right! I remain cautiously optimistic, though. The game is based off a small amount of the original, yeah, but they’re also significantly expanding that part. Whether they succeed has yet to be seen, but what they’ve shown looks good imo, and if they succeed in expanding the game,…

Eh, they have the framework in place like they did with the XIII trilogy, and there were two years between each of those games. It’s Nomura, so we’ll see about schedule slip, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the games release every 2-3 years. Just depends on how many parts they end up doing (though honestly I could see…

idk, I def played FFII and I neither hated it nor liked it. why the hyperbole? lol

Wanting a separate island isn’t just about min-maxing things, though. I’d wager most people that want their own island simply want to be able to, well, have their own island, just like how they could have their own town previously.

Oh, for sure. It was demonstrably finished in that it had functional gameplay and a clear beginning, middle, and end to its narrative arc, but there were a ton of missed opportunities and rushed elements throughout that they later expanded upon.

Could be, sure. But it’s also not unheard of from Square; they did it with FFXV, too, delaying it in August when it was supposed to be released in September, explicitly talking about it being to give a final level of polish rather than the game outright not working. Considering the positive reactions to the remake…

idk, a month can be quite a bit of time. FFXV was delayed, what, two months? The polish they got in two months was significant, so I’m guessing that it’s just some final tweaks to make sure things run smoother after reports of some framerate drops.

lol ignore that poster, they literally only made an account to troll on this article

Gita, you’ve been amazing. Good luck in the next thing you do!

Best of luck, guys! You’ve been amazing.

Definitely. I get it to a degree--Rey is not a nobody, Rose is basically ignored, etc.--but you’d think it literally just ignored TLJ the way people talk about it.

The Force has been explicitly stated to be in everyone from as far back as... well, A New Hope. I do personally hate that she ended up being a Palpatine, since I think one of the biggest weak points of Star Wars is making everything revolve around previously established characters. That being said, Rey rejects her…
