The fact that FF7 needs to be split up makes you think about just how much it costs to make AAA games these days.
I dunno if the game needed to be split up, itâs probably for milking purposes.

Considering the scope of most modern games (let alone modern FFs), Iâm more than willing to buy that doing the remake as one game wouldnât be worth the cost. I donât really recall any modern games, with modern AAA production values matching the scope of old JRPGs from the 90s.

I wanna play it but I realistically woulsnt have time. JRPGs are a single manâs game. I need the Family Man version.

I just want each part to be a full game. Trails games from Falcom are split into multiple parts and each of them are all 40+ hour games. You get more than your moneyâs worth, but yeah they arenât AAA games.

Funnu, Sonicabid and I were having a convo about that yesterday. He likes physical media for everything precisely because of that possibility

And then you have people claiming âCLOUD IS THE FUTURE, STOP LIVING IN THE PAST!â
Like bruh this shit is precisely why I am not interested in an all-digital era of gaming, Iâd like to keep my physical copies for another decade or two, thank you very much

I was arguing with two people yesterday who were all for digital gaming and preferred it over physical. One is a pirate who steals all of his games to play on his modded consoles and handhelds, and the other person said he was so lazy that he finds digital to be more convenient than physical because getting up and popping in a disc or cart is too much hassle.
You canât make this stuff up.

All digital wouldnât be so bad if they allowed users to backup their games.

That and I really, really like physical goods. The boxes, boxart, the art on the disc/cart, the manuals, the cool extras you can get(actual CDâs instead of digital tracks, maps, guides, figures, all that stuff.) Actual resale value if you want to sell your stuff down the line.
Digital games with digital manuals and soundtracks are just lame imo. Remember in MGS1 when you need to check the back of the jewelcase to find out Merylâs codec number? Would that have had the same effect if you had to shut the game off followed by consulting the digital manual?

The manuals? Those things disappeared last generation, or at least the number of physical copies that come with them has gone down to single digits. Even Collector editions often omit them in favor of artbooks and codes for digital manual downloads

Wow Codemasters went a long way from bootlegging NES games
I have a couple of PS4 games with manuals. Shantae sticks out mainly because the manual is huge and with full color.
The majority of my PS3 games have manuals. It wasnât until the tail end of the generation you saw some publishers omit manuals entirely, and it was almost exclusively from big publishers like Capcom, Sony, Msoft, Activision, etc.
Manuals are obsolete with every game having a tutorial. I can understand why they were fazed out.

It still was pretty cool to own one when developers put effort into them, like the manuals for PS2 era GTA games
