- How do you want them to handle the open-world in part 2?
|
Overworld like the original and an upgrade/extension of something like Type-0's, or all out like FFXV's?
Or something else?

The former.

Very large connected zones like DQXI.
Square-Enix cannot do open worlds to save their life. |

If there's an open world, it'd have to be like the original's, just an overworld for getting between areas. A true open world isn't feasible due to the scale of the journey. In things like XV, Elder Scrolls, and Zelda games, you're only in a very small area, something the size of a kingdom. VII has you traveling the entire world. Unless they're okay depicting the world as being extremely tiny (which they definitely are not, given how much they've expanded on), it wouldn't be fitting.

Realistically, I don’t see them making an open world or anything like that. With that, I wouldn’t mind seeing them make it like smaller areas. I feel like that one area you go with to beat up monster in the sector 7 slums with Tifa would be the closest to what it would look like.

There is no way part 2 will be open world. Better keep expectations in check.

A blend of the two. It would be great if the camera slowly panned out as you moved away from midgar to eventually resemple the overworld from the original. Then as you approach locations it slowly zooms back in. All seamless with no loading screens. It would be the best of both worlds.

I want to place my money on there being some type of overmap elements considering they were a very large part of 7's overall popularity and mechanics.
Chocobos were important for a good amount of content, the Submarine is a fan favorite, and the Airship is one of the reasons Cid exists.

Very large connected zones like DQXI. This would be okay too. But I want a fully functional airship. If I remember DQ11 correctly, you could only land at designated points. Little bit different from FF7. |

Seeing how this game was structured, I don't think they can ever do the open world justice. It's also a question of where the next game will actually end, since there's no clear stopping point until they get to the City of the Ancients which is a LOT of game especially if they plan on doing everything in the same scope as they did Midgar.

I think there was a poll on this earlier. The most voted was "wide linear" so something along the lines off ff12, which I think would work really well. Big enough to explore but still small enough to keep things flowing.

You can bet the Marsh is gonna be an entire area on its own, not to mention the Mythril Mines are most likely gonna be a much more expanded dungeon, Fort Condor will also probably be mandatory.

i'm in the minority of people who don't want an open world.
i'd rather have an on rails story with very limited and controlled traveling. i played shenmue 3, and see that ff7r suffers from the very same issues in pacing. having this team make an open world would seem to have disastrous story amount implications for ff7r.
I make absurd posts because I find it entertaining. Take from them what you will. Just keep in mind that they are purposefully absurd :P

Im hopeful they add overworld travel but also very doubtful, I feel that it would break immersion. That being said, the illusion of freedom and getting to explore the world is a nice touch and works very well for most games. E.g tales of vesperia

A more detailed version of XV’s open world done in a way that story progression is still linear, but exploring the world would still yield benefits.

Most areas in this game all have an important story beat, or at the very least significant character development for someone, any that don't are either just a "dungeon" you walk through like the Mythril mines, or optional. I'm personally expecting to cry when Red finds out about his father if they do his story justice. It's just a matter of how they will string us along this path. While true the game was "technically" linear basically all they way until you got to the North Crater (i.e. right before you got the Highwind) you were still able to explore side areas and return to past areas for either additional content or side stories. Yuffie and Vincent's stories for example, all the secret caves you can get to. Hell the whole point of breeding Chocobo was so you can use them in the world map to get to practically broken end game materia I don't see how they can keep that same feel assuming they're are keeping similar mechanics to this game. Unless they are going to justify reworking how the next game even works, with a bigger party and all.

Depends on how far the second game goes. If its pre-Highwind it will still be relatively small scale so I would be fine with something similar to FFXV. I think the world of FFVII is far too big for openworld. It wasnt originally open world, it was a world map.
I dont expect the game to make it all the way to the end of Disc 2, so I guess we'll just have to see. |

Yeah it was a open world-map but still if you turn this similar to ff15 you could have a huge big viper attacking you in the desert :P |

Hate to say it but KH3 had a decent way of doing it. Basically big levels that are open enough to be like a bite sized open-world and still have things to do in them.

My guess is that there will be 3 more episodes, each with wide-linear chunks of the story. Episode 2 will feature:
-Kalm -Chocobo Ranch/Plains -Swamp -Mythril Mines -Rocky Plains/Fort Condor -Recruit Yuffie -Junon/Finale -maybe a Cargo Ship finale Junon could reasonably be an endpoint. Rufus and Heideggar are present, and the Sister Ray reveal could be pretty climactic. Otherwise a showdown on the cargo ship with Jenova could work as well. Wishful thinking would be: -Costa del sol -Gongaga -Corel Mountains -Gold Saucer/Prison -Cosmo Canyon -Finale at Nibelheim But I think that's just too much for a single entry. It's hard to fathom what will be possible when things arent centralized like with Midgar. |

wonder how the fight with the Ultima weapon would be like
|

There's no way it will have an open world. Chocobos and the airship will probably just be fast travel.

It’d be nice if it was open overworld with random battles... then once we got into towns it could go back to linear routes like it was is in Midgar. If they do it like FFX... I don’t much care for linear paths between towns. Been a while, but what if it was like Gran Pulse from FF13 and less like FF15?

Exactly, xv map is 780 sqmile, which if you want to decipit one continent, let alone whole world is WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY too tiny. Godzilla cloud in the vein of original is the best option if you want to give an illusion of grand world. Fully open world will result in tiniest planet in existence. Doing it like in X or XII is also one way, maybe the likeliest theyll go with. |

Semi-linear or semi-open. Something like FFXII is good.

Final Fantasy XII have the best world map in the franchise.
I don't see why you think the second game in the Final Fantasy VII Remake project will have open world. I don't see why this thread (or very similar ones) have to be done every 24 hours.

Part 2 will be another hallway simulator divided into chapters. No world map. No real sense of the continents |

Final Fantasy XII have the best world map in the franchise. bc we're assuming that they want to expand on the world of ffvii, which is why they added fast travel and a showed more of midgar in remake. i plan on making this exact thread later today because i like talking about the game in a forum dedicated to talking about the game.

I just want to point out that referring to Square Enix as a singular entity doesn't make sense as it consists of many different development teams, each with its own talents and weaknesses.
Square-Enix cannot do open worlds to save their life.
Also, open worlds are hard to get right, so it isn't just SE that struggles with them. When you think about it, there are very few excellent open-world games.

even if it does go down this route, it'll probably still be great and better than X and XIII's hallway worlds. but i really hope they don't. when Dragon Quest 11 (a game developed by the same company probably with less budget than 7R part 1) and Tales of franchise (after Xillia) can provide non-hallway world designs that actually feel expansive adventurous to traverse, I don't see why FF can't do the same in 2020.

Even the hallway design in X was beat out by DQ8 which had a fully expansive world on the PS2.

You could be right. If they truly go the Xenoblade route that would be the best possible scenario imo. But I just don’t see it happening. Something more simple like DQXI or Tales of Zestiria/Berseria seems more realistic to me.gamerprince1999 posted...even if it does go down this route, it'll probably still be great and better than X and XIII's hallway worlds. but i really hope they don't. when Dragon Quest 11 (a game developed by the same company probably with less budget than 7R part 1) and Tales of franchise (after Xillia) can provide non-hallway world designs that actually feel expansive adventurous to traverse, I don't see why FF can't do the same in 2020.

ff7r could barely run in very linear hallways without the need for slowdowns to load things properly. the movements were jagged bc of this.
do you realistically expect the team to put together better movement, and exploration of larger areas- a massive improvement from what we have right now?I make absurd posts because I find it entertaining. Take from them what you will. Just keep in mind that they are purposefully absurd :PI wouldn't mind seeing it in a style similar to Final Fantasy XII however with smoother transitioning between camera angles and scenes like in this remake.
Once leaving Midgar it could open up into an overworld area accessible up to the swamp. The area would naturally be bordered by mountains and the sea. The chocobo farm would be a little safe zone from the creatures roaming the wild.
The swamp would be its own seperate area as would the Mythril Mines. In all honesty the entire map could easily be broken up into manageable chunks that still keep it linear yet ample room to explore.3headed posted...

All i can really say at this point is that part 2 will probably be releasing on next gen hardware so fingers crossed i guess loli think it will be either like FFXV open world, but damn even FFXV's altissia the biggest town in the game is a seperate map from the openworld in the game, but considering they are developing for next-gen it could be possible it will be all-out FFXV open world or maybe like fallout/skyrim, because next-gen hardware can make it possible
or if they stick with current-gen they will probably make it chapters again like part 1
or do it the FFX way, travel via car/bike/airship/boat from a selection menu for the destinationI'm hoping for an open world in the final chapter. It would open up the opportunity for DLCs. But open world is not likely. It would change the game dynamics they have established. I'm guessing all chapters will operate the same linear way.
gamerprince1999 posted...Good point.

well... actually, yeah.
i think the issue with this remake was that they just didn't have a lot of time, and i'm assuming b resources were used because they went with unreal (made for quick game creation).
they'll have more experience with unreal on the next game, and the added benefits of having more power... so... same boat dude. fingers crossed.I make absurd posts because I find it entertaining.

In the original yes. But FFVII prequels like CC introduced new locations we could visit.

time prevents them from doing this. either from retirement or death.
they wanted to get this together to change the ff7 game with involvement from original team members. it's getting to that point where expanding could lead to the game just not being completed due to retirement or death.Honestly, for part 2 I'd be okay with big interconnected zones like Xenoblade, DQXI and FFXII.
