I think it made sense for 7. Midgar was the most interesting set piece and a ton of stuff happens there. But it's only like 10% of the game.

Then you collect side characters like infinity stones and to through a bunch of their individual stories.

Then the actual story happens.

Also, 7 is popular enough to support the split up.

This doesn't make sense for 9. Also, isn't it supposed to be a 1 for 1 remake?

I don't think it even makes sense financially. There's not really a first part for people to get excited about compared to Midgar in 7. 9 is more of a full package game.

Mist Continent to Outer Continent for part one. They'll beef up the escape sequence in Fossil Roo as the end of the first game.

They'll add a bunch of filler and make Terra its own game.

Part three will be the endgame + the optional open world stuff before the endgame.

They'll fit a part four by carving something else up too.

It'll be a shame, too, since FF9 has a fun story and characters.
