For those who remember the original game,\u00a0Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is about to open up quite a bit compared to the first episode. Upon leaving Midgar in the original\u00a0Final Fantasy 7<\/em> is typically when the game really opens up from being completely linear to more of an open-ended JRPG adventure. Of course, with\u00a0Final Fantasy 7 Remake<\/em> things are going to be a little different. While it’ll be interesting to see more added detail throughout the lion’s share of\u00a0Final Fantasy 7<\/em>, the second episode also presents an opportunity for the series.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0Final Fantasy 7 Remake<\/em><\/a>‘s second episode, the reimagined adventure has an opportunity to iterate and improve on\u00a0Final Fantasy<\/em>‘s open world design.\u00a0Final Fantasy 15<\/em> was the franchise’s first foray into modern, large scale open world design, and frankly wasn’t a bad first attempt. That being said,\u00a0Remake Part 2<\/em>\u00a0has an opportunity not to repeat the same open world mistakes that\u00a0Final Fantasy 15<\/em> made, encouraging exploration without making players feel totally restricted or linear.<\/p>\n

Once Cloud and the party evade Shinra’s forces and escape Midgar, the journey to defeat Sephiroth and save the world finally begins. In the original game, this was the moment where the tutorial-esque hand holding ended and the true game began. This was the point where players truly got to experiment with character and Materia builds<\/a>, get used to their favorite party members, and finally explore the world of\u00a0Final Fantasy 7<\/em>. With\u00a0Final Fantasy 7 Remake<\/em>, things are almost certainly going to be very different compared to the original game.Those who played\u00a0Final Fantasy 7 Remake<\/em>‘s first episode understandably have a lot of questions about how\u00a0Remake Part 2<\/em>\u00a0will play out, and not just from a story perspective.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0Final Fantasy 7 Remake<\/em>‘s gameplay was mostly linear, there were some hints of open world-esque gameplay from Chapter 8 and Chapter 14.\u00a0Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2<\/em>\u00a0is going to be largely open world, and while the main story will still be ongoing, all of the world outside of Midgar will become explorable. That means locations surrounding Midgar like Kalm, Junon, Chocobo Ranch, the Mythril Mines, and Fort Condor will be explorable. That’s without even counting any other continents or surrounding islands that are visited later on in\u00a0Final Fantasy 7<\/em>‘s story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Luckily,\u00a0the franchise has experience with expansive open worlds in\u00a0Final Fantasy 15<\/em><\/a>. Most of the continent of Lucis is explorable by Noctis and crew, with only a few expeditions to places like Altissia and Niflheim throughout the story. There are certainly plenty of places to explore in\u00a0Final Fantasy 15<\/em>, but the game had an encouragement problem in the form of the Regalia. Every main location across\u00a0the game’s map was best accessed via the main roads, where the Regalia could quickly travel across the game’s world. Noctis’ car was fast, convenient, and in some cases even enjoyable to ride around in.<\/p>\n

While the road trip vibes were undeniably worth praise, there wasn’t much reason to step out of the car unless it was in service of a main quest or any side quests.\u00a0Final Fantasy 15<\/em> didn’t have many organic reasons to explore<\/a> outside of the Regalia, which meant exploration was always in service of another quest. Players could get hunting requests from hub areas like towns and cities, but if players saw something interesting in the distance, they wouldn’t have much a reason to step out and explore. The game establishes very early on that any place you see will undoubtedly be visited in some kind of quest, so there’s no need to explore something if there isn’t already a waypoint on the map.<\/p>\n

Games like\u00a0Breath of the Wild<\/em> and\u00a0Ghost of Tsushima<\/em> made great efforts to reduce this waypoint-esque linearity in open world games, and that’s something\u00a0Final Fantasy 7 Remake<\/em>‘s next episode should emulate.\u00a0Final Fantasy 15<\/em> had a beautiful and expansive world to explore, but never capitalized on evoking the desire in players to explore that world. Over-reliance on quest gathering<\/a> meant there was no reason to feel a sense of wonder if every location felt like an inevitability. Even if there were explorable locations like that, why would a player bother?<\/p>\n

For\u00a0Final Fantasy 7 Remake<\/em>‘s second episode, Square Enix has an opportunity to emphasize the ambiguity that the original\u00a0Final Fantasy 7<\/em>‘s world had<\/a>. Rather than positioning waypoints on the map and riding there like\u00a0in\u00a0Final Fantasy 15<\/em>, players should be able to explore the surrounding regions of Midgar and discover places for themselves. Iconic moments like finding the Midgar Zolom, impaled by Sephiroth, should be something that players discover naturally instead of following a linear path. Rewarding the player’s curiosity is what an open world game should be all about.<\/p>\n
