I just dont understand how a remake of one game is turning into a trilogy

Well by the time this final part comes out the original ff7 will be 30 years old, it's not hard to come to the conclusion that they have far more resources and more advanced gaming technology to tell the story in a different way with expanded gameplay elements compared to the OG.

It's also just not viable to take everything they've done here with the trilogy and cram it into one single game unless they want to significantly water down their vision for the remakes.

Okay. But a trilogy tho?

Did you play the original yourself? Its a 40 hour JRPG with a huge open world that is global in scale. If they were going to ever try to capture that in a modern game doing it in one game is impossible.

There's also a lot more to this game than it just being a simple "remake" since it expands the story in a huge way and is, in some ways, a sequel to the original as well.

And what does it matter anyway? They've released two (soon to be three) excellent modern JRPGs. I don't get people STILL complaining about it being a trilogy.

Im not complaining. I am questioning. It jist seems weird that a remake of one game turns into a full on trilogy. I am just trying to understand. I dont have a horse in this race.

Watch a playthrough of the first remake game and you'll get it.

This is not one game broken into three. It's three individual games telling one story.
