Despite the development restart, Final Fantasy VII Remake will continue with an episodic release
The Final Fantasy VII remake will follow with an episodic release. The details of this format are unknown and we can only speculate.
With the recent trailer for Final Fantasy VII Remake on State of Play from a few days ago it is clear that the development of the game is still going ahead and has not been canceled. He suffered severe developmental problems until Nomura was able to take over after finishing Kingdom Hearts III, and once had to scrap all the work they did on him.
The episodic format is maintained despite everything
When the game was announced during Sony's conference at E3 2015, it was noted that the game would follow an episodic release. In the style of the Telltale or Life is Strange games, pieces of the game were to come out as they are being developed so as not to keep fans waiting. And speaking of a very big title like Final Fantasy VII, an episodic release can greatly divide the game and take a long time.
In addition, there are the cases of games like D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die, Half-Life and the episode 3 that will never arrive, or Blues and Bullets that make us fear that the episodic format could leave us with a game without end. Now that we are with a version whose development has been restarted from scratch, questions have arisen.
There was no shortage of the question about the episodic format of Final Fantasy VII, whose answer is that it will continue with this format and it has not been changed to one that offers us the full game from the beginning. We will have to wait much longer to have the complete story. Square Enix has not given details of how the game's story will be split - there are those who suggest that it will be divided in the same way as the discs it originally came on and would be an interesting way to divide the game. From what has been shown in the recent trailer, both Tifa and Aeris will almost certainly be in the first episode, but we don't know if there will be more content when it arrives.
