Square Enix saw great success in the episodic model with Life is Strange, and Resident Evil: Revelations 2 and the Telltale game format have all forged a path for episodic games. Wild speculation abounds at the possibilities. Others have suggested that it could mean differences in gameplay. Over the weekend, Sony showed off footage from the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake that fans have been begging to see for years, but it may not have been just an artistic choice from the trailer. It’s unclear what that means, as it could just be marketing speak for each game having different story and themes.

Perhaps more interesting is Square Enix’s announcement that the Final Fantasy VII multi-part series would offer “its own unique experience” for each of the games. “For instance, players will be able to explore many different areas of Midgar in this game that they couldn’t access in the original–if we’re remaking this world, we want to add in areas like this and depict them with real detail.” “But there would be no point in doing that.”
“If we were to try to fit everything into one installment, we would have to cut various parts and create a condensed version,” he said. Readers may recall that, in the past, Final Fantasy VII designer and zipper advocate Tetsuya Nomura had insisted that a remake would have to make severe concessions to achieve the same level of detail as the original game, but the episodic system will allow for players to get the content they want in the same depth as the original: Producing a proper HD remake of Final Fantasy 7 that maintains the same feeling of density of the original results in a volume of content that couldn’t possibly fit into one installment” “To a great extent, we just couldn’t take the plunge. “One of the main reasons why we haven’t done a remake until now is because it’s a massive undertaking to reconstruct Final Fantasy 7 from the ground up with the current technology,” he said. Final Fantasy VII was originally a singular cohesive narrative released in 1997. In an interview with Famitsu, translated by Square Enix, Yoshinori Kitase explained why Final Fantasy VII will be episodic: Is Ff7r Still Episodic Final Fantasy VII Remake has an overarching storyline that spans multiple timelines, which means that the game’s release in April 2020 is just the beginning of a series. Now it looks like the remake will be similarly gargantuan in scope, requiring a series of episodic installments to complete.
