FF7 Remake will be episodic...

[A Black Falcon]

Ah. I guess part of it will depend on how many episodes they break it up into. If it's only a few you could, like, have one episode per disc of the original game or something, I'd think... but with more, you would need to make more changes. I haven't played enough of most of the classic FF games to really know how it'd work, but by your description here I'd think they would probably need to change a lot. Will they restrict access to some areas by episodes, or will only the main story be like that and side areas might be available earlier? Who knows...
