AVALANCHE'S bomb did little damage in this. It was Shinra causing their machines to go haywire that led to a much more dramatic explosion. So AVALANCHE are not murderous terrorists in this.

Fuckin' called it. Then again, so did a lot of people.

I don't really like that change. Feels like it was done just to make the leads less morally grey.

You could have the cake and eat it too by having Heidegger ask Pres. Shinra if he wants the anti-bomb unit or whatever to disarm the bomb and Pres. Shinra went "no".

This would be a good compromise.

Apparently, the Demo PKG was leaked, and someone was able to get it up and running on a dev version PS4.

If you want to watch a 30 min video in 360p it now goes up to 1080p, do it before it's pulled.

Not a fan of this change, but I understand why Square-Enix made it. I'm okay with it, but not the change I would have made.

That was funny, but it felt more like a Yuffie thing than something for Barret. Especially at this point in the game when he's at his grumpiest.

I don't know why, but it makes me happy to hear another variation of the main battle theme that we haven't heard previously in any of the trailers.

It feels weird, even moreso than FFXV leading up to release, to watch this game come together. Like... it felt more intangible than XV ever did.

Nah I think it makes sense for him right now, he's full of righteous anger but also bravado, if anything he's at his happiest at the beginning because he's fighting the good fight.

I'm guessing it will on the ps4 and ps5, even if it takes another 6-7 years to complete the remaining episodes. The install base is huge and the ps5 is supposed to be backwards compatible with ps4 games anyways. Just turn down some of the effects and ship it. Persona 5 had a ps3 and ps4 release.

I just don't know how they're gonna keep the same pacing and I doubt they will. I suspect that the "open worldness" of the whole post-Midgar section will be highly abbreviated in some way or else parts 2 and 3 would only get to the end of disc 1, mayyyyybe 1/4 into disc 2

But you know dang well they're gonna end one of the parts on Aeris dying and unless they hurry things along there's no way part 2 gets all the way there

This thing's gotta end up being like 5 parts at a bare minimum and that's fuckin nuts lol

I could easily see it being 6 tbh
Ch.1 Start of Disc 1 > Leaving Midgar
Ch.2 Kalm > Cosmo Canyon with a ton of new towns and distractions to pad out the playtime
Ch.3 Nibelheim > End of Disc 1
Ch.4 Start of Disc 2 > Cloud's Psyche
Ch.5 The Rocket Town Mission > End of Disc 2

Ch.6 Disc 3

The only reason the original game had 3 discs was the amount of movies. Disc 3 was just the northern crater so that wouldn't be it's own chapter in a remake considering it's like an hour or two long. I'm expecting some of the Kalm story dump to be moved into Midgar.

And they've already said (claimed) that each part will be the length of FF13 so a 6-parter would be really hard to stretch out. And personally I think any more than 3 parts and sales will really start to drop off.

There's no reason that 2 parts can't cover the rest of the game post-Midgar, since the hardest parts (engine,initial assets,gameplay refinements) will be done.
