The first portion of the game is completely remade, using the story and characters from the original, and future portions will be released in parts. Aeris’s death is a natural breaking point, but all the rest are up in the air.PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows Final Fantasy VII Remake is a partial remake of Final Fantasy VII, originally released for the PlayStation in 1997. It won’t split neatly or easily into parts, but Square Enix has set itself that task, for better or for worse. Mideel, the Weapons, the underwater reactor… it’s a long, long game.Įven just re-reading through IGN’s ancient FF7 walkthrough, it’s easy to remember why FF7 won such acclaim. Some of the game’s biggest moments- Nibelheim, the City of the Ancients, the Reunion-happen clustered together right in the middle, followed by a long and complicated back half.

Final Fantasy 7 is a complicated game, with lots of story beats and probably too many acts. Part two would take us up through Aeris’s death, part three from there through the Huge Materia quests, ending with the return to Midgar, and part four would cover from that up through the return to the Crater. Part one would solely cover the game’s long first act in Midgar (greatest city in the world!). In writing this and refamiliarizing myself with the pacing of Final Fantasy 7, I think that FF7 Remake may well make the most sense if it’s in four parts. If all the parts were of roughly equal length, a three-act split could see the first part ending with the departure from Junon Harbor and the first fight with Jenova, and the second ending in Aeris’s death, with the third part being the longest. Two of the other big critical story moments aren’t that far removed from Aeris’s death in terms of time. Things get more complicated when we add more parts to FF7 Remake, and breaking the game into three parts might be the most difficult. It’s the most memorable and emotional part of the game-arguably the most famous moment in any video game ever-and I guarantee, no matter how many parts FF7 Remake ends up splitting into, one of them will end after Aeris dies.

And the most obvious moment for that, of course, is after Aeris’s death in the City of the Ancients. The break will occur for storytelling reasons, not ones of disc space. Unlike the original, single-release but multi-disc PlayStation version, the switch between parts will come right after a big, dramatic moment. If FF7 Remake only comes in two parts-and if that happens, I think we’ll be very lucky-the breaks are easy enough to guess.
