I mean, they even put KH in a PC. I mean, remastered PS3 Kingdom Hearts I. It's just too much cash to deny.
Since we didn't get any announcement, I'm betting it will be revealed during Integrade launch or maybe end of the year. I don't think they will release Part II before PC part I. Well, I sincerely hope the fuck not.

Woah, and a third Ultimania? This is getting excessive lol. At least it technically features a new render for the cover. Hopefully Square Enix Books translates the Two Pasts novel at least.

Yeah, the road to Part 2 has truly started.
Short stories will be the most we get to tide us over, because now all efforts will be towards developing a new game. Part 1 is truly done with INTERgrade.
I can't wait to see what this story is about. The last one they did focusing on Aerith's childhood was good so I'm excited.
It's not a brand new one. It's the same Material Ultimania, however it will come with this story and presumably stuff from INTERgrade.

I agree the Material Ultimania Plus will feature Intergrade content, but it appears to all be separate books. The original Material Ultimania is 336 pages. The product listing for Plus says it'll be 224 pages and Two Pasts will be 288 pages.

Edit: Fixed Material Ultimania page count. Was looking at the wrong Ultimania. There's too many of them!

Well based on the product description, it'll specifically feature things not included in the first Material Ultimania and such. Rough translate from google:
"A book containing development materials not included in "FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Material Ultimate Mania" released in October 2020. In addition to CG art such as characters, enemies, and locations, the "Voice Recording Script" of an impressive event scene and a scene that seems to be a hint to the next work will be released for the first time with a Q & A interview with [CO Director: Motomu Toriyama]! In addition, various development materials and scenario strategies such as voice-related materials such as "Battle Voice" and "Voice of Townspeople", CG of new episodes with Yuffie as the main character, setting images, storyboards, etc. are recorded. Delivered with luxurious hardcover specifications."
Should be fun! I'm just excited for this new novel. I don't remember if we were told about this before, so it's completely out of no where for me, in a very welcoming way.

I wonder how long they before it's translated into English? Hopefully not 7 years like with The Turk Side Story.

Here's the description for Trace of Two Pasts from the product page, ran through Google translate:

Hopefully these side-stories will be a standalone and not inhibit the enjoyment of Part 2 and onwards.
Aerith: "Wow, this reminds me of that one thing."
Tifa: "Oh yeah, that thing!"
Cloud: "What thing?"
Aerith: "That one thing from mine and Tifa's Two Pasts novella."
Cloud: "...Care to explain?"
Aerith & Tifa: "No Cloud, you have to buy the novella!"

Audrey's translation of the Material Ultimania Plus contents. The "script of a certain scene offering clues to the next installment" is suggestive, especially coupled with Nomura's comment that part 2 will pick up after Intergrade specifically. Just saying look out for spoilers on launch day!

Sorry, double post.
For comparison, the Japanese version of The Kids Are Alright is 349 pages and On the Way to a Smile is 263 pages. So Trace of Two Pasts is about the length of the latter.
Seeing as Aerith and Tifa's childhoods are already covered extensively by the main game, I imagine this story will take place somewhere in the 5 years between the Nibelheim Incident and the first bombing mission. Maybe Aerith's story will be about her deciding to sell flowers plateside and Tifa's about starting up Seventh Heaven? Here's a better translation of the description from Audrey:
On the topic of abundance, I'm fine with the Material Ultimanias because it's better to have a record of the development process than not. However, I wish they'd do away with regular Ultimanias. I feel like they contain too much story analysis. It almost takes the fun out it. The fandom also starts to feel fractured in a way. I like it when everyone is on the same level by just playing the game.

Cool to see the "other side" of the render of them at the end of the highway.
But yeah, while I think the people who want to wait for the entire Remake story to be complete to play any of it are extreme, I do think I'll wait for the whole thing to be done before I buy any supporting materials. 3 for one part? Come on.

My idea where the story should go based on the cover:
They were both independently meant to meet a date under that clock and their guys just stood them up so now they're just waiting and slowly getting fed up and bored
Except then they start talking and hit it off and decide screw it, we'll go on a date instead
From then on it's just an AU Tifa x Aerith romantic slice of life story
