A lot of the better games of today are able to seamlessly combine gameplay and storytelling together in order to tell a very fluid narrative.
Well, the people who are watching my stream are all wanting to go buy the game now, everyone has been commenting on how the game flows so nicely, so I guess it's definitely a matter of opinion. But by and large the users around the world have been praising FFVII Remake so far, even metacritic which is notorious for really bad scores in early days of a game has been solidly green throughout the opening weekend (it was 7.7 yesterday, it's 8.0 today). That's not a regular thing for a massive release.

If FFXIV can be literally rebuilt from scratch and FFXIII can get two sequels, FFVII Remake can easily get four episodes if not more. Not saying I want it to be four episodes, just saying I think the idea of them cancelling FFVII instead of finishing it is completely out of the question for a company like Square Enix.
