Yoshinori Kitase reveals the real reason why this first part of the long-awaited video game only covers this initial part of the adventure.
Final Fantasy VII Remake faces the final stretch of its launch with many new features and details.

The importance of Act 1, Midgar, to understand everything else
The reason responds, essentially, to the premise that they could not cover everything in the same title. With this clear, that the project had adopted enormous dimensions and that different episodes were going to be chosen, they believed that the most logical and coherent thing with the adventure itself was that Part 1 of Final Fantasy VII Remake ended at that moment when it says end point to the Cloud and company stage at Midgar.

“We decided that the best option for this project was to aspire to the highest possible level with an expanded history. Having more than one game in the project has allowed us to focus on keeping everything that people love about the original, but going deeper into the details and depth of the story compared to the original, ”he begins, saying, after recapitulating the difficult stages by which development has passed.
"Midgar is so iconic for Final Fantasy VII that we had to start the game right here." The importance of Act 1, for many reasons that go beyond the merely argumentative, has then been used to build a video game with a beginning and an end. Having taken elements beyond that stage could leave this first part with an end too open. As for that Part 2, its development will begin this April: there will be no breaks.
