According to the latest issue of Game Informer, the remake of Final Fantasy VII won't only be released in episodic form, but each one will be the size of a full game, comparable in size to each Final Fantasy XIII game. According to producer Yoshinori Kitase, "It will essentially be a full scale game for each part of the multi-part series. In XIII, each installment told the story from a different angle. It was kind of like approaching an unknown territory in a sense. Whereas with Final Fantasy VII Remake, we already have a preexisting story, so it wouldn't really make sense if that isn't encompassed in a multi-part series... So if we're just looking at each of these parts, one part should be on par with the scale of one Final Fantasy XIII game."

It's almost like the music itself is a character in the story, narrating the plot to us through a catchy and often melancholic melody.

Hair. Many of us have it. Many of us wish we had more/less of it. Or different hair. Maybe straight or wavy or curly. Perfectly coiffed, stylish, healthy. Maybe you wish you had more or less beard hair or body hair. Maybe you're perfectly happy with what you have. If you aren't though, fret not, for at least your hair isn't as bad as these characters.
