Ive just left Midgar, ah man i still love this game so much! im not sure if me playing again is a good thing so close to the remake incase they mess it up!
Are people not allowed to be disappointed now or something?Who cares if they mess it up, it's a remake, the only people who should care is Square Enix, because they're putting a lot of resources into this.
Anyone expecting perfect 1:1 for the game should just ignore it.

Except the person you replied to said nothing of the sort. You can go in not expecting a 1:1 remake and still be disappointed.They can be, but making it out to be some "haha fooled you, money printers" from Square Enix is disingenuous when it's always been the case that it would be a new experience. The only disappointing thing to me is the episodic crap, but whatever i can get over it (depends on how aggressive they are), as ever perfection is the enemy of good enough.
If it were a simple remaster in 4K with no changes whatsoever i'm sure people would be happy, but it would have lost potential from a remake, which frankly i'm more happy with. I honestly believe that low expectations at all times saves you from a world of bother in being "hyped".
I seriously hope there will be a super obscure way to save Aerith. Would be so amazing.I agree, the first part they cant really go wrong on. its how they handle the world map and the story after that will be key. I have a horrible feeling we will see a option to keep Aerith alive.
Wasnt there a world map of sorts near the end of FF13?
I think we will get a world map but it wont be as open as the original.

Ugh I think they have some nerve releasing the game in an episodic format THEN charging full price for it and THEN stripping out some content and selling it as Paid DLC or locked behind certain editions.
I could have sworn they were but it seems they werent.Weird, both of those summons weren't in the original.
Putting content behind paid DLC immediately or pre-orders is bad practice, but can we please stop going on about the episodic format? This isn't a 1:1 of the original game, we don't know exactly how long EP1 is going to be or how densely it'll be packed. Play through FFVII again, Midgar isn't that chunky - and it's very limited in terms of where you can go and what you can do.
To me that seems pretty episodic but if you do not think it is then OK..... I am not overly fussed about arguing that point.
The only way they can justify the full retail price is if they have completely expand midgar to the point it can be a full RPG title in its own right, carbuncle and cactuar are interesting dlc summon as wingman mentioned they weren't original summons.
I wasn't suggesting it wasn't episodic - my apologies if it came across that way - I was suggesting that we can't say they've got a nerve releasing this episode at that price as we don't know what this first episode offers in terms of value for money.
I'll completely back anyone who knocks the full price if FFVIIR EP1 doesn't feel like a full game in its own right (we'd need someone who has never played the original to genuinely answer that), but as I say, right now we can't say how much scope this initial episode contains.
It'll be interesting how they're used in this Remake, and whether or not other summons from other games will be added to future episodes.
20+? Id want at least 40+ hrs for a console/PC grade release otherwise it can't really be deem an RPG in my opinion. Id say 20+ if its portable seems about sensible but even then a lot of portable RPG release are all about 40+ hrs long aswell.
I do expect speedrunners finishing the game in 20 hrs but not if you're playing casually and want to experience everything the game has to offer, if its about 20 hours then I would feel a bit scammed.
If they mix in Aerith character development with Zack into the game during flashback and Zack involvement with sephiroth and tifa then that would be nice touch.
