Midgar was definitely in and around 30% of the graphical assets of the game. Makes sense as a story break too.

Dataminers Dig Into Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo for Game Details | Digital Trends
The leaked Final Fantasy VII Remake demo covers the opening sequence of the original RPG, though there are some changes to the story. Dataminers, meanwhile, have unearthed content that is otherwise not found over the course of playing the demo, including renders and the full game's file size.www.digitaltrends.com
That's literally just taking the demo first chapter and assuming all other 17 chapters are the exact same length. That also assumes the 18 chapters they found in this leak are all there are, too.

I guess being eco-terrorists wouldn't look too good today, not like Barrett had any reason for it, nor did he grow from the ordeal in the original.Dataminers Dig Into Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo for Game Details | Digital Trends

To correlate chapter 1's playtime to the other 17 is a bit of a reach. I’ve read plenty of novels that contain both 5 page and 50 page chapters.

Being that SE has not been transparent about anything with this thing with no knowledge of what is going on in the future for the title, much less how many other “episodes” they will be releasing, it’s pretty easy to look at the history of past game releases and know there is a snake ass reason for it.
Hey man I hope you are right. But we all saw how that DLC plan worked out for FF15.

Sure it was. Break it down by number of screens. Midgar was dozens of them. What was Golden Saucer? Like 10? Junon... another 10? Think about it. You just moved through Midgar quickly as a matter of pacing. The rest of the game was just paced slowly through sparse content.

I'm not discounting the possibility, but even calling that an "estimate" is a bit laughable, just a huge stretch. I think 3 or 4 episodes makes sense total. Like I said earlier in the thread, I think Aeris' death is another obvious stopping point for one.
Frankly I remember people claiming they'd have far less to show at e3 as well.

And then you realize the train corridors / graveyard, sewers, and Shinra HQ were dungeons and throw in all of the dungeons the game had which you neglected to count. So yeah, it's not close to 30% of the assets, even after lifting the cannon from Junon.

Im not sure what this 'dungeon' distinction you’re making is. I’m talking about raw set pieces, 'dungeon' or not.
I bet Midgar had over 100 of them as a conservative estimate. Shinra Building alone was around 30.
Temple of the Ancients + Bone Village + Forgotten Capital might have been 20 combined. Rocket town was like 5 set pieces... Nibelheim 8.... Gongaga 6... Mount Corel 6 or 7.... Kalm was like 4 screens... Chocobo farm was 2....

Maybe think of it in terms of towns, minigames and dungeons.
Three towns: Sectors 5, 6 and 7. But you visit Sector 6/Wall Street twice.
Four dungeons: Reactor 1, Reactor 5, Sewers/Train Graveyard/Pillar, Shinra HQ.
Three Minigames: Barrels, Squats, Bikes
So what is the next sequence of that length? Up to Goal Saucer? Then up to Temple of Ancients? Then up to Gaia's Cliff?
I feel like it's going to be 3 parts to cover the world map at that speed and another for the endgame. 4 more parts.
With the expanded Midgar increasing the content there I think you can half the number of parts needed which comes to... 2 more parts like they said.

The knee-jerk nostalgia whore in me wants a traversable world map, but when I really think about it, it was a really silly thing in the original. The only thing actually fun about it was ripping around in the Highwind.
I hope they do a hybrid system for the world map where they expand some of the more important world map areas (Yuffie jungle, Cactuar island, Midgar Swamp) into fully developed locations/dungeons. You could lean heavily on the vehicles, which is all most people cared about anyway I think, and use them to traverse between the various areas over the world map. But there would be no getting out and walking, no random world map encounters.
A fully traversable world like an MMO would be the worst case scenario I think. What an unnecessary clusterfuck that’d be.

Dialogue was leaked. Reddit is saying there is Zero chance this thing is anything more than 15 hours with side games.
Get ready for these assholes to release 3-4 59.99 games to cover the entire game. If it even gets that far after the hate this shitstorm will get after launch.

People are now arguing if this is Sony's fault or SE's.
They knew exactly what they were trying to do when they ran amok in the development process, or, worse, had this type of business model planned all along to see what they could get away with. SE left the encryption password in the demo to unlock all the files which is why this is all coming out now.
I know a lot of people were/still are looking forward to this - I was one of them - and I will still rent it. But this should NOT be a new business model we as consumers support with a full price purchase. It's either one of two things at this point: SE fucked up so badly in development they had to compensate somehow and then go silent and this was their only way out economically, or they planned this all along. Could be a mix of both.
Either way whoever left that Encryption password in the demo is going to be eating ramen the rest of their lives from a gutter.
I mean who knows at this point why it's on 2 discs. The first could be holding a Kingsglaive style movie, or, the cut scenes alone could probably fit on a disc.
