My one and only fear is that they'll take cues from the Compilation and turn arrogant, snarky Cloud into the whingy twat he's been since advent Children. I mean, he kinda was that already in a good chunk of FF7 already. Though I hope that, yeah, he doesn't start out or stay in that phase for more than his story demands. Cloud had 3 phases of character development (I'll put this in spoiler chat just in case for anyone who still hasn't played it):
{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} 1. Cosplaying as a SOLDIER 1st Class combining elements of Zack's personality with a new, created persona with snark and arrogance. All of this done as a tribute to his friend as well as compensating for his own insecurities and failures along with the trauma he endured as one of Hojo's guinea pigs after the Nibelheim Incident. This is also why I don't think he was ever truly in love with Aerith and more in love with the idea of being with her because of her relationship with Zack.
{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler} 2. Self-pitying and morose who had the illusions from #1 shattered forcefully by Sephiroth/Jenova wearing a Sephiroth meatsuit and the events at Forgotten Capital and the Northern Crater.
{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler} 3. Cloud, with Tifa's help, reconciling who he really is with the events of the past. He's finally at peace with himself and gains the self-confidence to stop Sephiroth and Jenova's plans. Team Fourstar has done a good job with that aspect as well of Cloud

For me it's not ideal but it'll do I suppose. Not a fan of button mashing in Final Fantasy.

I really wonder how Aerith will play. We've seen how Cloud (Swordplay), Barret (ranged attacks with gunarm), and Tifa (punchy-kicky and possibly juggling with combos), but Aerith is a natural mage and support character. I can't really see her going ham on mobs with her staff, and magic seems to be based on ATB stuff rather than being able to spam it.

I find it interesting they're adding so many different ways to play the game from pure action RPG to action-menu hybrid to menu-based.
I like it, but I also hope this doesn't become a "try to please everyone but end up not pleasing anyone" situation.

So is Part 1 JUST Midgar? If that's the case, it means no Cid, Yuffie, Vincent, or Cait Sith. And Red XIII's role would be extremely limited compared to Cloud, Barrett, Tifa, and Aerith.

That's what it seems like They going milk the shit out of Midgar and i'm guessing the game ends right after you get Red XIII

I expect longer sequences for sure Def the beginning with the plant is going to be much longer

Basically they're separating every single important element of the game? Part 1 is Midgar, assuming Part 2 will be Kalm and so forth? Man, fans will probably start getting irritated with them releasing the game in parts.

I think the plan with the Midgar chapter is allowing the party to eventually explore the entire city since we only saw so much of it in the original game. I'd have to imagine part 2 is going to be everything up to Sephiroth summoning Meteor and be more in lockstep with the pacing of the original. And part 3 is the rest of the original game.

Which aren't bad ideas in theory You're expanding the world and these places you traversed in 2 seconds will now take you a good little while which I actually look forward to.

Did disc one of the original end after you left Midgar?
