The original FFVII wasn't neither that big nor that long. The majority of space taken by the game was the custscenes/FMVs and not by some insane amount of content.
Once you realize there are just ~24 side quests (and many of those don't even have dialogues or cutscenes and are just collecting/finding shit on map) and rest of the game is pretty linear with some light exploring here and there and small details like characters saying X and then Y you realize that it's actually packed way less than majority of modern open world/rpg games.
The map itself isn't even that "open". In the beginning you are actually put on a pretty linear path and the map really opens when you get the plane and it doesn't fully open until you get the Highwind, which is the endgame where you have done almost everything.
What i'm trying to say is, splitting the game into parts is lazy and shitty scam decision that should not be accepted. With their resources they could remake the whole game, EASILY. If you say that they needed to add more content, hence expand the game etc. two parts should have been more than enough.
Can we stop this this "3 Discs = 3 Parts" bullshit?
How many disks do we need to store OP's longass post?
shut up retard

What are you going to do about it? Cry and shit your pants? Fucking little bitch
If your autism can't handle playing it in parts wait 10 years when you can buy it all in a bundle for $60
Baste
This, but to add to that i think FF series as boring cos the gameplay and the quests suck ass
the illusion of scope and vastness is part of the game and what makes it cool. they need to preserve that
Dragon Quest XI has at least 2 times more content than original FF7 and 10 times more than FF7 remake and it's the same company who made both
I mean FF7R has 3 ugly slums as cities for fuck's sake and it's not even that good looking of a game
If they really expanded Midgar like they said they would then I would be ok but you can't even go to the upper plate, you're stuck in the same 3 sectors as the original
what's the point of making a game entirely set in Midgar if you can't even visit 9/10 of the city?

in order to make the game to a standard people wouldn't immediately mock at first sight it had to be done. the amount of reused assets it would take to remake FF7 as a single game would be fucking bananas
