Square Enix releases the opening movie for Final Fantasy VII Remake
- Thread starter Chaserjoey

I get what they're doing in the first half, but it feels incredibly heavy handed and fanservicey. Especially the repeated inclusion of
throughout.
The second half is great though.

Oh, are people not allowed to spot differences between trailers?
People holding out on watching this shouldn't feel that they need to. It's like 3-4 minutes of panning establishing shots and then 60 seconds of pretty much shot-for-shot remake of the original. There's no new information here.
Just like you are allowed to complain, I am allowed to point out how tiresome that train of critisicm is.
Where is the complaint in my post exactly? I could care less if they changed something in the CG. I was simply making an observation but go off.
Man, I lapsed on my FFVII appreciation over all these years but this impending release is really bringing the hype back and I'm seriously being swept into a huge current of nostalgia I didn't even think I was still capable of. Like, what deep recess of my mind was all of this hiding in???
Damn I'm so hyped.

much better. The cat lip was one thing that was bothering me with her CG..I knew something was different the moment I saw Aerith. They got rid of the cat lips and they shrunk her chin.
This is just cruel from SE! Almost two months till release, and they give as the Intro? Must resist...

Hm? I like the current look more, specially the new mouth adjustments.
I like it either way. I just wanna play this asap. I cried when watching trailer. Well, not CRIED cried, you know...

That's a neat opening but I do prefer the original as this is kind of a weirdly constructed establishing scene. Even so I think it's right and correct to make these sorts of changes. Also that's the upper plate CG some of saw in GC.
I don't really like the music choice though.

there is a fucking poster for loveless in the opening
god damn Gackt
My Bloody Valentine- Loveless refers to a seminal early 90s alt-rock record in this case— as it did in 1997.
Why is it that the daytime sections of the upper plate look like the slums? Or like Advent Children Midgar? I feel like that's a huge misstep in atmosphere, because we rarely saw the upper plate and here it just looks so brown and grey.
Also missed opportunity to have the cries of the planet like in the original before showing Aeris' face. I loved that long pan with the stars before they faded to her face.

It was nice overall, but when Cloud does a flip off the train and swings his sword, well that was cheesy. Just jump down like a normal person instead of a tryhard edgelord next time. Square-Enix tries too hard to make characters cool, but it's just silly.
Of course, Cloud was a bit of an edgelord in the original too, but it was cooler when I was a teenager.
Hopefully there really is a demo coming, because I'm not sold on this yet.

On the right is the new one I presume? I like it but I kinda like the one on the left more.I knew something was different the moment I saw Aerith. They got rid of the cat lips and they shrunk her chin.
Oh, thanks for clearing it up. Yeah in this case I'm fine with it. Prefer that look. Looks more like a real person.
You answered your own criticism, Cloud does it on purpose because he thinks it looks cool. Same thing when he flamboyantly spins his sword after battles.
