Maybe the plan is to release a new part every 2 - 3 years. If each disc is its own game, then it's more like a franchise of its own at this point, which would make each part a sequel game pretty much. I already see people in other places comparing it more to like how Mass Effect works than how Telltale works.

So take your average price range, and average consumer with a job, and by the time the next part comes out they would've made that money back to be able to afford the next installment.

I'm just speculating, but that may be the end goal. We could be looking at a FFVII Trilogy.

I'm kinda starting to warm up to the idea. Dammit.
