Is this a demo?

[Ryuudou]

Why is it 79.99 for only 1/3rd of the game? Original FF7 retailed for 49.99, was cutting edge at the time in graphics, and had 100% of the game.

[DrDeezee]

It's 69.99 for a main story that takes longer to complete than FF7 original as well as a substantial bonus DLC with 25-40 hours of gameplay on its own.

It's not "1/3rd of a game," it's a complete game.

79.99 lol ! Don't pay that much !!

The original FF7 was over 100 hours, had a complete story which this demo does NOT, and costed less. If the story is not complete the game is not complete.

Also, 40 hour is very short for a RPG. I have 300 hours in Cyberpunk 2077, it costs less than FF7R, and I haven't even done everything.

It was not well over 100 hours, we both know that. It takes about 60 to beat it the first time, maybe 80 to 100% percent it. This took me 130 hours to 100% on PS4 when it first game out. That's not even including the INTERmission expansion included here.

The fact is that this is a full game. You can accept that, or you can continue to cry about the same done to death argument that's been disproven over 1000 times in 1000 other spam threads in this very forum and not contribute towards fixing the problems that the game ACTUALLY has.

The original FF7 was not 100 hours. I just recently watched someone stream it and they finished the main story in 35 hours. How long to beat (https://howlongtobeat.com/#search) averages the main story as taking 36.5 hours (with Remake averaging 33 hours)

This game has a complete story as well, it follows it's own character arcs and subplots. Is Star Wars Ep IV not a complete movie because it doesn't contain the bits from Episode V or VI? Is Mass Effect 1 not a complete game because of the existence of Mass Effect 2 or 3?

Being part 1 of a planned trilogy doesn't mean the game is incomplete; it just means it is part 1.

do you know how different developing games are now? instead of for just a ps1 they are developing for pc and ps5.

Are people being intentionally stupid. If you dont like it, then dont buy it, champ.

Sure, now let me sell you:

Star Wars Episode IV: Part A
Star Wars Episode IV: Part B &
Star Wars Episode IV: Part C

for 80 € each. I promise you there's lots of funny fluff and character stuff, and youll watch each movie for 90 minutes!

Like i said in other topic, it depend what a full game is for you, in terms of lenght this game can be considered a full realized game with 30-40h of campaing and around 70-80 with some side/extra stuff, but in terms of story, it is a 1/3 story, if you can justify spending that amount of money for the amount of content YOU wanna experiencie, go for it, if not, then spend elsewhere or just don't spend \o/

Yes it is. And I know you aren't the brightest bulb, but 130 is larger than 100. This demo drastically falls short of anything close to a complete game.

False. If the story is not complete it is by definition not a full game.

Things are indeed different now. It is significantly easier to make large games nowadays. In the 90s most things had to be done the hard way, while nowadays there are also many tools, libraries, frameworks, and complete game engines that a lot of the hard stuff is already done.

The FF7 classic story did not take 100 hours to complete, it takes about 40 at most. 100 hours is the time it takes to grind levels and do optional stuff as a completionist which is the about the same just for part 1 alone.
