Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trailer and Details

Ever since its first reveal at Sony's E3 2015 conference, dreams came true for many fans of Final Fantasy 7. They finally got their remake they've been waiting for. Now, after Sony's most recent event, PlayStation Experience in San Francisco, we got our first look at some gameplay and some exclusive details from the Japanese games magazine, Dengeki Online.

The trailer is your first look at games introduction of Sector 1 and 8, recreated to be even more cinematic than its predecessor.  You also get to see the new new battle system in action, which appears to have taken a page from Kingdom Hearts and Dissidia Final Fantasy, with an open combat area. Which may disappoint some, but it's clear this isn't a straight up remake, it's a remake for the new generation. 

Dengeki Online (translation from Gematsu) further revealed details on the games design. According to the interview - Final Fantasy 7 will be episodic and released in multiple parts. So there's a good chance part one is disc one from the original. None the less, this is a strange design choice, but as Square-Enix explained -

 "We'd have to cut some parts, and additional parts would come in few, so rather than remake the game as a full volume, we decided to do multiple parts"

Square-Enix asks to look forward to more as the development of the remake goes further. In the meantime though, watch the latest trailer above.

Seems an odd reason to make it episodic... Why would they have to cut parts? Because it wouldn't fit on a digital download somehow?

Money! Is the only simple answer. Also found out it's using Unreal Engine 4 which is impressive. Hopefully won't mean a stupidily long ass dev time.
