Current Events > It lowkey sucks FF7 Remake is 3 parts

(+) Yeah! (+)

People actually thought progress would carry over? How naive. Was obvious when parts announced this wouldn't happen.

what if the PS6 isn't backwards compatible or can hold save data?

I was onboard until I realized that the save files don't transfer from part to part. Really kills a big part of the RPG for me.

Interesting. I didn't think that many people thought progress would carry over. That's a very rare thing in sequels, especially these days.

It's a remake of a single RPG, an RPG where actions at different parts of the game lead to a different set of available characters, where there exist many points along the game where you need to do various forms of long grinding and collecting to get particular rewards.

Having a continuous save is a pretty obvious thing to expect.

Did you not play Remake? Wasn't it obvious that they weren't making the same game?

I mean I can understand being disappointed that it doesn't include it, but to heavily expect it when no one told you it was going to be there based on your own preconceptions seems...like a choice.

The real reason they didn't want saves to carry over, I expect, is that they didn't want the sales of each game to be constrained to those who have beaten each previous installment. Not any backwards compatability bullshit that could probably be fixed with a python script and 30 minutes of forethought.

For something like Dot Hack its much more simple since they aren't as big in budget but these games were always going to have big budgets and probably take too long and with console generations getting shorter and shorter it would be a little too daring because what if the PS6 isn't backwards compatible or can hold save data?

So play the original, it still exists

So just curious, how many other RPG franchises can you think of where progress can be carried over directly from title to title

You don't get to say .hack since it's already been mentioned several times as the only example

This is a remake of a single game. How many RPGs make you start from a generic save after disk swap?

They can transfer savefiles with a Cloud save service.
Why would the PS6 not be able to hold save data?

Right, this is the thing that makes this situation unique. There wasn't much "expectation" to make an RPG have full carry-over to it's sequel, but there's precedence here where it was once more or less that way in the original.

You frame this like it's a technical hurdle but it's not at all.

They could have absolutely done this but chose not to.

The Remake trilogy is not one game, hence the word "trilogy" being used.

You're not trying to have a conversation here. You are defending something. I have much less interest in participating in that.

Is Square-Enix calling it a trilogy? I don't watch promotional stuff.

FF7's multiple discs weren't sequels to itself, they were the same game. The Remake trilogy is not one game, hence the word "trilogy" being used. Rebirth is a sequel to Remake, not the same game.

So, no, there's no precedent.

You're not trying to have a conversation either, you're just attacking something.

It is not a trilogy.
Attack on Titan ensing is not a trilogy.

There is a reason it is called part 1, part 2.
It is parts of a whole not a trilogy.

*holds head in hands*

Part 3 isn't out yet... that's why they're called 1 and 2...

False.
It is because they are parts.
You cannot call that a trilogy.

There is no Hobbit trilogy.
This is because it is all parts of one whole despite 3 movies.

There is however a Lotr trilogy.

Learn critical thinking please.

Holy shit I can't even start with this post

Just

Holy shit

well, the original was 3 discs so I guess it makes sense....but so far, they're averaging 2 remake parts per original game disc.

what if remake is 6 parts? lol.
