I?m starting to feel it?ll end with leaving Midgar. Not sure I like that.
Congratulations, you nailed it. I'm impressed by the audacity/failure because I expected them to at least make an episode out of the first disc of the game. Just Midgar, really? And it's taken them 4 years? We can expect the full game to be 8 episodes long, cost hundreds of dollars, and be finished by 2060 at this rate. Then again there's apparently hints implying it's only going to be 2 episodes, so maybe they'll just cut 80% of the game out entirely instead. If you want the complete experience and want to know wtf is going on, make sure you play all the tie-in games and watch all the tie-in movies.

Uh, Nomura, Sephiroth's chilling presence was built up by not showing him in Midgar, saving the reveal for the Nibelheim flashback where you realize that he is far more terrifying than the entirety of Shinra. Also, what the FUCK are the clones doing there? They were freaking background NPCs, not Death Eaters. It's funny that despite working on FFVII Nomura doesn't actually GET it
Glad to see I'm not the only one with this opinion either. Tying into what I just said above about cutting out chunks of the game... expect any scenario in the game that didn't have an appearance by Sephiroth or some other direct connection to him to either be changed to fix that or cut from the game entirely. Square knows who the game's breakout star was, this is his show/game now, and any part of the game not directly touched by him is gonna have to go.
Honestly, not only am I super down on this game, I really don't get the excitement for it. Everyone is blowing their loads over it and has been ever since the initial reveal nearly half a decade ago, despite literally everything they've ever said about it or shown for it being cause for great concern. It's like so long as everyone sees a recognizable character show up in gorgeous CGI then nothing else matters I guess?
