How the hell is this shit going to work? Ideally it would've just transferred your stuff from your part 1 save file (with a "default" loadout for lunatics who are jumping in the middle for whatever reason) but they threw in so much endgame equipment to make part 1 feel like a more complete game that I don't really think that's gonna be possible. They could just keep scaling things up and adding new tiers to things like firaga->firaja and such but they would need to add a ridiculous amount to pad out three game's worth. It's going to be bad if they let you go into part 2 with all your maxed out materia and shit but it's also going to be bad if they just wipe the slate and treat it like the beginning of the new game. Is there literally any good way for square to do this?
FF7R part 2
You are going to start over, brand fucking new kiddo.
there's only 12 magic materia in part 1 and they're all very basic, all the summons are low tier too
part 2 will have better spells like flare etc
FF7R is advertised as a standalone game. If they even make the next one there's going to be no transference at all, like going from 13 to 13-2, especially because the next part will probably be on PS5.
We’re going into a new console gen. The same thing happened with witcher 2/3 where 2 was a 360 game and teased carrying your save but 3 was an 8th gen game so console players had to start a fresh save.
It'd be funny if they pulled troll with part 2.
By this I mean they have you save Aerith and all, thinking you won perfect end only so it turns out that you fucked yourself in the ass because Sephiroth kiked you good by making sure that Aerith doesn't die to cuck his plans and you get planet destroyed as ending. Then game forces you to redo everything, and let everything play out as in original game in order to undo the damage.
Sadly, this won't happen.
They will pull XV novel tier of ending in which everyone is happy, saved, while uncle Sephiroth pulls Vergil and gets away with everything because Zack (Nero) decided to save his soul or some other gay shit like it.
ps5 is an update to ps4 in the same way ps4 pro was, it'll be fully BC with ps4 games so there's no reason not to support save transfers. You just pop in your ps4 disc and get a ps5 texture pack download
>implying they'd build all these assets and then abandon them to rebuild them all for the PS5 instead of reusing them for the sequel
There'll be a dual release on PS4/PS5. Anyway, I imagine they have a small internal counter for things like "did you talk to Tifa or Aerith first in the sewer" and "what did you say in these circumstances" and perhaps some import bonuses a la Trails games.
what if yuffie steals all your shit at the beginning of the next game? that doesn't deal with levels though...
They just need to do it like .Hack games did back on PS2.
