FINAL FANTASY VII Remake
FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE Out 10.04.2020 for PlayStation 4. A re-imagining of the iconic original with unforgettable characters, a mind-blowing story, and epic battles.ffvii-remake.square-enix-games.com
Weird how the link on the video itself still claims the game is coming 3/3/2020
Ew, using the vocals of the theme before Aerith supposedly hears them takes away alot of the impact.
The intro was already perfect, this is just doing too much.

Huh? you don't see this?
Weird then, maybe i'm seeing a cached version from the last time I visited the site then.
Hahaha, god I hope they put in some ShinRa propaganda. I'd love it.
Agree.
I mean, it is good in isolation, but I really prefer the original one. It felt more whimsical (and I really don't like the Watchers of Fate or Sephiroth being as prominent as he seems to be here from the get go).
The new CG cutscene is cool, but, again, I would have rather they took that away and inserted in somewhere else. Although this is definitely a nostalgia-fueled opinion, as it's really nice to see life in the upper plate. It just feels doing too much from the very beginning when it's not truly needed.
Release the demo!!! :(
its the same as the original, and people would complain if the scene would be changed
Not jumping off until after that when Barret cued him to was how it went in the original too, though.
EDIT: I see I wasn't the only one who remembered.
I thought you were talking about the link description on here. it said 10.04.2020, but when i clicked on the link it says 04.10.2020Huh? you don't see this?

Actually really like the opening shots, getting across the environmentalist point right in the beginning and also setting up the mood of the city
Of course its unnecessary but it does not subtract from the rest. I could say there's a bit of a sudden break but I think its good context for new players

my conclusion about the new part of the intro, the message square wants to say with that segment, is that we are going towards progress/development and ignoring the environment that is dying.
also thats why i think they wanted to make midgar closer to the real world to make the paralel and the enviromnent critic more on point with our world, than the original. Even though i like more the aesthetic of the original midgar.

This looks almost too good to be true, can't wait!
Also this is a remake, not a remaster. The story won't be a 1:1 retelling even when all parts have released. Big story beats will be similar, but everything in between can change. People losing too much sleep over every change. I hope once this game releases people will realize this is a new continuity.

I made a mistake watching this. I thought it was going to be a 1 to 1 remake of the original opening scene and it isn't. starting from today I'm going on media blackout too.
Cloud is a giant dork and that's why we love him. It's canon.
It was nice to see what machine was used that'd require the giant robot hand seen in the original before the train graveyard or whatever.
Isn't the slide scene a part of a town that's about to get covered by the plate under construction. That's how it looked to me
Yeah, I agree. I'm completely COMPLETELY blown away by how well they have done it.
I just hope Midgar will be huge like this trailer. Remember that FFXV hyped up Altissia and it was really small....
The whole game is going to take place in Midgar, so I would expect the scale of the city to be decent. I wouldn't expect it to be open world or anything like that, though.
I love the advent children vibes.
I really need some motorcycle exploration in an openish final fantasy world.

Super good, the only point I didn't love was how low-key "Those who Fight" sounded in the train scene compared to the trailers/proof of concept we've seen before.
I don't think there's going to be massive skyscrapers in the slums my dude, even in the remake.
And there's a sign right next to it that says Sector 8.
The slide was sector 6 in the OG so it's debunk to start with.
In the original isn't that park with the slide just outside the walls where the plate fell one sector over? I don't think the plate falling destroyed it IIRC, because you still need to bang a right there and head up to wall market to get to HQ.
So I'm assuming there was a plate over the original park, but it might have been in-between or close to the edge of one.
Edit: nvm saw the above. It's inclusion and not being the same one is a bit unnecessarily confusing though.

Finally an instance when reality will surpass my own imagination!

Aeris - 1997 and 2020.
Good genes, or good docs?
all the new stuff here sucks, is unnecessary and is probably indicative of the rest of the game.
and as always, the new musical arrangements are weaker than the originals
every new video makes me more apprehensive

"Kills the flow" is a phrase i expect will apply to most of the "fleshed out" content in this game.

lol, people complaining about Loveless even though it was in the original.
Square probably released this today because it's My Bloody Valentines Day.
It's just a set of scenes to show that the people that live in Midgar are normal people not worthy of being killed by terrorists. It shows how the land around Midgar is devoid of life and how the people us mako to live but the city is dirty and cluttered and still devoid of vegetation.
Then it juxtaposes to Aerith, who is holding flowers next to a mako vent, showing that it isn't harmful to life and implies the opposite.
-------------------
I think the original was a bit better at establishing different themes than this does.
The original starts out with what appears to be drifting aimlessly through space with voices talking and then it reveals it was the lifestream. It foreshadows the extraterestrial threat of the game. Here it cuts from mako particles coming out of a reactor to mako particles coming out of a vent.

No, it's just a bird flying into a fog bank surrounding Midgar. There's nothing to do with a time-lapse of the building of Midgar other than Midgar is perpetually still under construction.

This might be the most beautiful video game character to ever exist, good lordI knew something was different the moment I saw Aerith. They got rid of the cat lips and they shrunk her chin.
They're gonna make a lot of people fall in love (fall back in love) with this character....
...
...
... It's going to be a rough ride.
I think it's good to
It is a full game.
Final Fantasy VII has always had my favorite opening cutscene of any game, I can't even believe what I'm looking at.
The first two minutes of new stuff before it goes into the traditional FF7 opening are great at setting up Midgar. Mixing a bit of One-Winged Angel in there is good.

Yeah, I just hate that everyone is forcing you to play it! Oh wait...?
