* To stand any chance of doing the source any justice at all, it had to be split up into parts. You can easily sink 80 hours in to it and not see or experience everything and lets not forget the other games and media in the Final Fantasy 7 compilation. Final Fantasy 7 on it's own is a big game. When it was announced I think episodic was perhaps was a poor choice of words or if not said officially ( I honestly cannot remember) it was misconstrued what was meant (possibly by pundits trying to generate more click for their content). A lot of people seem to criticize Square Enix for making the game 'Episodic' to that I say a couple of things. Have they been successful in doing this? Well I guess we are going to have to wait until April 10th to find out, but in my opinion they are certainly on the right track based on everything I have seen and read since it was announced. Square Enix knew they had a mammoth task in front of them as well as appeasing old fans of Final Fantasy 7 they needed to draw new fans in to the fold and to try and recapture the magic of the original. Had the N64 been CD based maybe all this would have been a very different story. I see people asking " why not 8 " or "why not 9" And the answer to that is that they probably will in time, but Final Fantasy 7 was one of the games that defined the Playstation and cemented Sony as a serious player in the console market.
It was inevitable that one day it would come to, Square Enix would mad not to, but, and this is a big but, they absolutely had to get it right. Fans have wanted it for such a long time now.

Back in the day of the PS2 there were even whispers on the wind of a FF7 remake. Back in the day it was rare to hear a bad word said about it.
At the time it had everything you wanted in an RPG, wonderful graphics, a fabulous story and amazing music. It came along at the a time when we were moving away from sprite based games and into the realms of polygons.
Final Fantasy 7 holds a special place in people's hearts, especially Europeans as it was their first * Final Fantasy.
