SO as we know this game will be episodic. So I'm getting used to the idea that I can't explore the entire Planet in a single playthrough. But there are other concerns I have for the game. here is a list of concerns I have.
#1) The "Complete" edition
Once all the parts of the game are released, SE finds a way to make a complete version where it's not structured in episodic format and be true open-world. It would be a complete shame if I spent over 120-180 dollars over the game only to see a cheaper version that's more accessible.
#2) New characters don't fit in the story.
The moment they introduced a new Soldier, something felt off. He didn't look like a Soldier and was way too flashy. I know there's room for new Soldiers in FF7, some that stick out more than others. But I see the risk of spoiling events that will have an impact on other scenes. For example, Cloud not being a Soldier. It made sense that the Turks and president Shinra just assumed Cloud was in SOldier because they are in a different class and may not keep track of all 1st class Soldiers. But with a new Soldier introduced, it could spoil it early. And that's just one character.
#3) Out of place weapons and summons
I know this is inevitable, but for me, it would break immersion to see Cloud and the gang get high-end weapons that I received later in Kalm be easily accessible in Midgar. I understand its a re-imagine. But I still find this concerning.
#4) Padding
This one is also inevitable, but I can't help but be concerned about how much padding the game will have. If the first game is going to be mostly in Midgar, how much time do we spend between new events until we reach the events of the original PS1 version? I'm not so sure about the new ghost-like enemies attacking the FF7 cast either. It seems like filler to further drag out Sephiroth's return.
Do any of you have any concerns for the game that you want to mention?
