About Crisis Core's remake, I'll wait for reviews on that one. The original's story is perfect, and if they change that too (which is highly likely if they want to make it fit in the trilogy) it'll be a hard pass.
He hopes? Is there a possibility that the third installment won't be made or am I reading too much into that part?

the "where this journey will ultimately lead" does sound concerning since it ultimately supposed to be a remake.....if they change the ending or something, that might not be good.
Same thing here. These are full length games. They're individually as good as or better than most JRPGs. Together, they'll probably provide an experience on par with or greater than the original. Doesn't sound incomplete to me.
Just depends on how much we get and how good each game is, but I do avoid games with chapters until all the chapters are finished. I don't think that's the same idea here though, each should be a standalone.
The First Remake was awesome and for an how ppl call it "incomplete" game it had more to offer then many other COMPLETE Games nowadays XD
At least the ones i´ve played and seen. Still need to play the first part of this triology series, i am sure i will enjoy it once bought.
Since i havent played it on the ps4 i worry that the bad pc port will destroy my experience...
...hope not.
How is it not worth it? As far as Final Fantasy games go, it is probably my favorite. It's actually a lot of fun, and you're missing out.
Exactly what I was thinking when I saw his comment. It's pretty much a complete game, and they should have said it's a Trilogy of games, rather than a 3 part game. Just because the next one continues the story, doesn't mean the game wasn't complete.
Personally, if they announced the KOTOR remake will now be released in instalments at 2024, 2027 and 2030 at 3x the price I can't stay I'd be cheering......
This is probably the best way to look at this remake. When you think about it, most marvel and dc movies/shows/etc are probably just remakes over and over and over again. Might be slightly different orders of events at times but usually the results are the same when they face off against certain villains. Of course those are movies and these are games we're talking about, but I think this has a lot of potential, especially since FF9 is supposedly getting a Remake in the future as well. Its just kind of like modernizing these games to fit a different audience. Of course no one is forcing people to buy these games, but it doesn't mean they shouldn't be made. Plus, like you said, these remakes can do things like flesh out certain characters and events more and I'm sure people who played old FF7 wish there were certain events that were fleshed out a bit more. Not to spoil things but I can think of a certain town later on in old 7 (I think it was disc 2?) that I'd love to go through in modern graphics.
It's supposed to be a reimagining or pseudo-sequel, rather then a frame-by-frame remake of the OG ff7.
It can also be said that the Remake project as a whole could very well be a much clearer picture of the story they originally wanted to tell, but couldn't at the time due to obvious limitations.

I can understand them doing that to some parts in the middle, but I highly doubt they'll change the end result. FF7 is arguably their most favored title in the franchise. I mean even if they keep a particular character alive when they are supposed to die or vice verse, it could cause a pretty big backlash. But the more sound reason I believe they wont deviate too much from the original game in terms of story is because they admitted themselves that it took so long to even decide to work on the remake was because of how people would perceive it done.
Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.
I think that if this was the first time ff7 was being released, people would feel differently. People don't mind that there is Last of Us Part 2 or God of War Ragnarok. Maybe if they knew there would be sequels before hand, they would wait. There is some risk involved for the developer as well. If the first part doesn't sell that well, then the subsequent parts would get axed, so releasing in parts is also a way to mitigate risk. There's also lessons the developer can learn from the first part to improve subsequent parts.
