They would have to make enemy levels above the max level from Remake and they have all new gear/weapons/materia anyway. That doesn't work on something that's episodic.

Video Game Donkey makes a great point about how FF7R-1 had SO MUCH GODDAMN SEPHIROTH.
Also the guys pointing guns at Sephiroth and then standing around while he slowly killed one of them at a time... the fuck was that?

Remake is about 20 hours long right?
I'm 40 hours into Rebirth and must be 2/3rds of the way through now at Cosmo Canyon. Have done 2/5ths of the side content that's unlocked.

Didn't mind so much Sephiroth in Part 1, b/c they were clearly dropping hints along the way that there was something different about this Sepiroth. Also given the expanded Midgar part, be a little weird to play a whole game thinking a power company is the big bad, only to find out "nope, this weird guy with a super long sword who we have to chase now actually is". OG it's only like 4 hours in you figure that out.

Just finished the first golden saucer part and got the buggy. 100% everything so far (except some additional objectives like getting all 3 things for the elite fights), 40ish hours. The game is fantastic.
I think an e-mail communication that could have happened during the development of this game is
Square exec: Hi! Was just wondering how the development was going
Director: Great! We're doing mini games right now
Square exec: Well that's good. Mini games were part of the original. How many are working on them?
Director:

There are also so many towns and locations the graphics designers put months of work into, despite us only being there for a brief period of time and never going back. Music included for them all too. And at least 1 mini game per.
Max said it during one of his recent streams but how many of these mini games they designed could very easily be expanded and in prior decades would be "the card game" for the title. But we have a card game, and 2 dozen other things. But no fishing, I was surprised by that.
edit: I'm 78 hours on my save file, end of Chapter 10 heading to 11. The only extras I have not done yet are choco racing, 4x hard mode protorelics from cosmo, and the 5th piano song. Things I can put off til later and not waste hours on basically.

I just hit 45 hours. On Chapter 13 (of 14 maybe? IDK) and very close to the end of Disc 1. All six overworld areas are between 30-50% completed, decided I'd do a full 100% run on the second time around at some later date. So I'd say 40 hours to beat the game is very doable if someone only plays the main story and goes briskly. According to trophies 2% of players are this far.
Made sure to try to get all the summons (Odin is a rough fight, even with all of the datas found) before I go on to the endgame, and still spending some extra time on cards and whatnot just cause I don't want it over yet. Got Bahamut, but Odin murdered me. He's basically an uberboss.
It just me, or does the game heavily imply from the get-go that Cid might be Aerith's dad?
Weird how they completely moved the location of Temple of the Ancients.

Got the 6th piano music and did it easy, put some time into the 5th and barely cleared A had more Goods than Misses and got close enough on Greats. But that unlocked a rapid fire 7th piece 256 notes in 100 seconds. Not going to work on that any time soon.

Backup characters still earn AP, whenever you do a story segment with a locked party the rest won't earn anything. When you have open party selection that gives full materia leveling. Same deal with the Kupo Charm for extra craft mats, you can stick that and a few other accessories on backup members and still get the effect.
AP Up is essentially using a slot to give a specific materia double rather than two materias earning, 1x2 instead of 2x1. The two slot triple AP bracelet makes it 2x3 and if you use AP Up 1x6 instead of spreading it across a six slotter earning 6x1. I have a 7 slotter out of a chest so not sure if it goes up to 8 at the end game.

I have a major peeve: Why does the game constantly slow things down during dramatic moments? So many dramatic moments get gutted because it switches control to the player and you have to walk Extremely Slowly towards a distant target. Happens at the beginning in Nibelheim, and a bunch of times towards the end. Didn't beat the game last night because I ran out of time and it kept slowing things to a crawl.
Final dungeon is like five hours long, legitimately. The one real obstacle to me replaying this is the massive dungeon length and how a lot of tedious things creep into them to slow you down. Like stopping to slowly absorb green energy sparks as Aerith after every fight gets super tedious super fast. Final dungeon really needed to stick the landing but it's like they're still throwing things in to unnecessarily slow the game way down. Starts feeling like they don't realize people have other things to do.
