Noone is saying EVERYONE is saying anything lol. But you're out of your fucking mind if you think only one person says it won't be a good game.
GUYS.
It's OK guys.
The game is going to be awesome.
People still bitching after the multi part clarification? Typical
My ideal pacing would be having everything up until the boat ride to Costa Del Sol be in EP1, just because Midgar is big but can be finished quickly for the most part. Don't forget that there's a lot of time and effort that goes into voice acting, and cutscenes and events will take longer just because of having to wait for people to talk instead of speed reading like we all usually do (at least I know I do). At least finishing the episode at leaving Juno would give us Cloud and Sephiroth's backstory, A LOT of exploring, chocobos, etc.
Even considering that though, you could easily beat Midgar in a day; hardly worth releasing such an anticipated game's first episode for something that lacking. They say they want to add things and flesh it out, but even then Midgar is midgar. Shit was ridiculously short when you consider the series of events that led to you leaving Midgar.
Way to kill the hype train
Worst case scenario this will be like walking dead trash with mostly cutscenes and little gameplay, best case just separate full games ala ff13,13-2, Lightning returns
Either way it's disappointing because you have the chance to remake one of the goat games into some thing epic. You have top tier studios taking their time to release goty candidates. Imagine the backlash if MGS5, GTA5 or new Zelda game did this. If Nintendo or rockstar said yea fuck it were not releasing a full game just "episodes"
Remember "Fabula Nova Crystallis"? What happens to the other episodes if the first is received poorly or doesn't sell well.
I'd rather wait two years for a full epic game then a disjointed experience. Oh well was nice while it lasted
Except they said Midgar would be very explorable. I think we have to get rid of our notions of how long stuff will take to finish considering they are increasing the size of the world and are adding additional content.
Do people people not fucking read? It's been clarified on the last page what they mean by this.
Nomura: If we tried to stuff the whole game into one release, some part of the game would have to appear as digests. We'd have to remove some contents from the game, and it would be difficult to add more to the game. Considering that a full remake of the original game must be achived, we have decided to split the game into episodes.
Splitting the original version into episode with nothing dropped, as well as adding complements, and remaking the game the game in its full volume is what we are thinking.

and the scenario in which he cross-dresses for Don Corneo will remain, but has yet to be redesigned.
Fuck Don Corneo, I want hunny-bee bath tub scene.
Bumble bee inn period needs to stay
Luckily for everyone who is skeptical you have probably 4 years of slowly leaked footage, info, and gameplay before you ever have to make a decision!
Always good to maintain a healthy level of skepticism about whether or not a purchase will be worthwhile a half decade from now.
Lets be real. Everyone is going to buy the FF7 remake unless it ended up being a Pachinko machine or something.
