Square, you absolutely killed it with this. I got a PlayStation on 9/2/97 to play FF7 when stores released it a few days before its official release. I got a PS5 to play FF7 Remake and Rebirth. Please give FF6 the same treatment. Stretch it, make it everything we thought it was in our heads, and reintroduce an incredible story and world to a whole new generation of fans. So glad you did what you did with Remake. You've taken a masterpiece that we've all played and seen before and made it so the feelings and fun was as good, if not better than, the first time we played.
Dude has well documented social anxiety and a hatred of cameras. I saw him live at a KH concert in LA and he ran onstage in crocks and shorts with a suit from the waist up rambling nervously about the fact he had basically sprinted from the airport and how sorry he was. One of the funniest experiences of my life! Probably did this as a favor for a friend within square.
Here in Ireland, pubs, schools museums all closed til 29th. I work in a museum so I suddenly have an insane amount of free time. Originally this game was supposed to come out in march and quite close to my birthday... The gods are sick and cruel. *shakes fist at imaginary deities* CURSE YE! I actually had a dream that Squenix decided to help maintain quarantine and keep people away from Covid, they released ff7:r a month early XD
first time i saw him i was thinking to hawking. Btw he looks like a strange guy to me, as if he doesnt understand if this is all real or just a dream...
Its more Beautiful than we could've imagined. Cant believe its almost here. Thank you Square, Ive dreamed of seeing FFVII like this since the original in 97
I feel the same but thats not possible cause the game felt like this back then, it wasnt until the PS3 tech demo came out that we started gettin hype for a remake.
I love how they straight up said the city has expanded but it's not open world. I don't want Midgard to be an Assassin's Creed map, as the demo showed, it's ALL about the DETAIL and the immersion.
I'd like more city open world when I comes to Final Fanstasy it doesn't need to totally accessible but enough to advance the playability around the story or missions added there loads of content spurned from the original hopefully the can add stuff like Crisis Core or Advent Children.
@@gavinerickson9392 It's not an open world game. It might have over-world map but that's it, get into city/dungeon and you got hallway with exportable section so it won't be FFXIII experience. The only open world FF I ever know is FFXV and FFVII definitely not count as one.
What happens when you have a team of extremely talented people, working their ass off and putting in all the love, you create a game that will forever be remembered, a game that will put all other games to shame and a team that shows what happens if developers care about their work and customers
@@gavinerickson9392 a third of a game that is still a lot fucking bigger than 90 % of all the triple A games out there... you cant even begin to compare this game to other games, id GLADLY pay 200+ dollars for the full experience in multiple parts, i hate seeing how developers go all out on a game they know we care about so much, only to have people complain and moan about it being so big and detailed they couldnt fit the entire thing on one disc...
Gavin Erickson where did they announce it’d be a trilogy? Midgar is 10 percent of the original. Since they are expanding greatly on the original story, that 10 percent is now a full 50 hour title. Do you think the other 90 percent will be condensed and cut down into 2 games or do you think they will follow through with what they said and expand immensely on the story? Food for thought and stop spreading false information. My bet is a minimum of 4 games probably though up to 5 games. Thanks
This was fantastic! It was so nice to hear from some the creators to understand their motivations and how excited they are to share this project with the world. Not long to wait now!
Agreed. I love when game studios make these documentaries about how the game was made and we can hear directly from the developers about their thoughts and feelings on their art.
No joke about the level of detail. Cloud was walking up some stairs in the city, and I'm sitting here amazed because there's the miscellaneous pile of crap crammed into the corners of the steps. Just like real life haha!
AT the Very first, as what PRODUCER YOSHINORI KITASE said , he started to ignite this FIRE and made them all happened. WOW!!!. He definitely heard us and all your grumbles of the OLD FF7 in a more powerful console. All of us really dream of what this game would be like using the latest game engine there is. Video Games makes anything possible where our popular movies has its limitation. Combining a good nostalgia story with the insane capability of CG, these results to an awesome like movie game which is more engaging and immersing than a movie had. Imagine an actor doing that speed, agility and strength swinging the buster sword, that would be awkward to real ones but awesome in cg. One lesson here though that proves who will make it, no doubt to give it to the Japanese GUys. The more they have time, the best result it would be. I dont know of the expense, may be 2 x that of the AMericans top grossing movie I think. CG is really expensive as it goes more definitive and realistic. Imagine Cloud is battling the Scorpion Sentinel with all its destructive explosives, this would be the true image of the Mako 01 reactor will be look like in reality 00:10

I'm normally not one to comment in UA-cam for...what I think are pretty obvious reasons...so much hate ya know. But after watching this, any fears that I may have had deep inside about this not being the game we have all waited what seems like a lifetime for, are immediately gone. The amount of love, and...care, and respect for the original in this remake leaves me speechless with every new trailer released. Square has gone far downhill for a lot of people in recent years but I hope this shows them how much they do listen and care about their work. Stay safe everyone and enjoy your time with this treasure when it releases. ♡
@TroubadorPoet I honestly hope so. So many games have had troublesome development processes and suffered from overreaching ambition/changing directors/new engines/goodness knows. But I've heard great things about FFXIV and everything I've seen about the VII Remake is looking very positive. I don't like thinking of present-day SQEX as a subpar company. I _want_ to feel excited about new releases. I guess we'll all see what happens when Part 1 releases.
Yeah theres more than just the next numbered final fantasy at stake here...and they know how...passionate people are about their memories of the original. And this one will create many more fans. Less than a month away ♡
I feel like this game is about to redefine RPG Gaming History again like it once did back in 1997... and it feels so sweet being apart of it once again when it happens! Thank You Nomura! And all the development team!
The game only goes up to when you leave Midgar. It's going to be amazing, but it definitely won't "redefine" RPG Gaming History. Hopefully it will redefine how SE makes games from now on though.
Actually it can also redefine the game size, due to the amount of detail and how large the map was..... As far as I know, GTA V is one of the largest game (at that time) and it already holds 50 gigs of memory....and then FF XV have 83 gigs... And possibly, FF VII remake would have at least 80 Gigs for the first part... And then another 80 Gigs for the second part and that would be a record....
I love these "documentaries" their thinking, and feelings on the subject. I hope lots of ppl will see this and appreciate the shear volume of work that's gone into all this content. Lots of ppl are salty about not being turn based, and thought the original was perfect and remake would ruin it - but perfect is an illusion, it's something infinite, and can always be improved - it's awesome that SE has these incredible directors producers and developers, that can imagine so much more, and bring it to life. Remake will be everything the original was, and so much more. I'm torn if i will buy it for ps4 though, rather wait for PS5 version - but i want to play the game so badly 😱
Hmm, well i mean they ported a 4k/60fps version of FF15 to PC, so they could do that with FF7R too. If they make a PS5 version of FF7R, it could be native 4k/60fps+, and they could throw in improved effects, etc. But true, i guess it would be sufficient with a PS5 4k "pro patch" that unlock fps, etc.
@@elmondark I feel like that's how they'll do it, I for sure would not be able to wait til late this year or early next year if there's any delays in manufacturing.
One should keep priorities right! Play the game as soon as you can, instead of waiting for something you believe might happen in the future. Anything can happen till then! Better safe then sorry! ;)
"Top class DJ Performance" is weirdly the best description of this combat system. It doesn't get enough praise, it's the fucking best combat system in an RPG this generation.
Can't please everyone, but i think this will please most people, except hardcore conservative purists who can't accept the game isn't same turn based as original.
@@unclesuave well some ppl have ADHD etc, and get mental breakdown if something changes drastically. Or it breaks their sense of stability and security. I think that's why ppl panic buy toilet paper for corona outbreak, even though it's completely useless - at least they've done something, and if they panic, they can just go shit and wipe their ass, to calm down 💩 But i hope seeing this behind the scenes, will make them see the hard work and dedication, and appreciate it, and get hyped :)
Right! The previous mako reactor battle remix has been my fav new track to come out of this remake project so far then this new one just comes outta nowhere in a damn interview!
I think we all need to realize how much they put in this game should be much APPRECIATED. April could not come soon enough. I actually become emotional at the end because to this day, I still can’t believe it’s still coming and it’s actually happening. I concur with them, I hope that BOTH NEW AND LOYAL fans will enjoy this game. 💖
@Fantasy Raider yeah the regular mode of course. its kinda hard at first, takes some time to get used to. but goddamn its so fucking fun and intense. can't wait to try it out on the rest of the cast!
Nomura seems like such a cool guy. I loved hearing the man himself talk about the masterpiece! I want to express my appreciation to the developers for all the hard work and passion that's been put into this massive project, their vision is perfect.
This game will be a masterpiece when it comes out and well done to the whole Square-Enix team who have done an incredible job with the remake. It has honestly exceeded my expectations from what I wanted to see from this FF7R and as a long time fan, I absolutely cannot wait to play this on launch!!
I LOVE IT! Thank You Nomura and the entire team for bringing this game to life for this old man! I have my first class edition preordered, and am waiting patiently to enjoy the beauty you have poured so many hours of work into! CANT WAIT! 💙💙💙
I feel like Nostalgia can only take us OG fans so far. And the slight changes/tweaks will be well worth it for something that's going to be a healthy mix of nostalgia and freshness. I'm ready. Jenova, take the wheel!
This was only Episode 1?! Wow, it is so awesome to hear these development stories, their mindsets, and goals as they approach such a massive and important project like Final Fantasy VII. Can't wait for the next video. Thank you Nomura, Kitase, and the entire FFVIIR team!
Do it! We must divide the points so we can take best girl Yuffie on the date instead! Which makes me wonder - just how amazing is Gold Saucer gonna be in a remake. By god I'm hyped for scenes years away from release lol
I have no words to express how happy I am to see that Final Fantasy VII Remake is reiciving the treatment that it deserves. I feel like everyone is putting their heart and souls on it, like they did with the original one. It looks beautiful and I can't wait to see it when it comes out.
I'd like to hug all the developers for returning me to my childhood. Thanks Kitase san for bringing all this to life! Thanks a lot for everything! FF7R release is like Christmas at age 12, emotions overwhelm me.
Estrogen Fury When it comes to games, you can’t please everyone. There are people who like FFXV and people who dislike Breath of the Wild. People like different things, so just because people like FFXV or KH3 doesn’t mean they will like this game. As for me, I liked them both, and I have a feeling that I’ll like this game as well! But that’s just me. Maybe I’m overly optimistic about those two games, but I can still see why people say that those games weren’t as good. They had a lot of time, but they didn’t use that time as wisely. Personally, as long as they can learn from their mistakes and improve upon it, one way or another, I’m OK with what comes out of it. Maybe it means releasing some DLC or making some updates. That’s OK. At least they’re learning and improving upon their failures instead of leaving it be. I’m probably just rambling at this point, but I thought this had to be said. ^_^; I’ll take my leave.
No joke, I've accidentally (honestly) ended up in some seedy places in Japan and it really is accurately reflected in that HoneyBee Inn lobby lol. Growing up with FF7, as a random Irish guy, it was actually quite surreal when I went to Japan and felt like so many places were familiar because of that game. I can't express how excited I am for this whole project, and they seem to be as dedicated to delivering a fantastic experience as much as us fans are dedicated to loving this universe. What a time to be alive. I couldn't be happier.
I’m convinced that Final Fantasy VII: Remake will go down the P.T. Route, and the first people to complete the game properly get a secret ending which shows a trailer for Part 2 of the Remake, with shots of the entire world.
as one of those kids who grew up with FF7 being a new game in their childhood, I have tears in my eyes hearing them talk about this remake. it IS my childhood and i would any day spend my money to support it. thanks for this game square. really, thank you! Please dont quit before bringing the whole story to us - I am sure the sale figures of this remake will give you the budget to do so.
I dont have words to describe how much im looking forward to this game. All i can say is a huge thank you to everyone at square who are involved in the making of it
Ah, but he did make Noctis again, aka. Yozora from Kingdom Hearts 3. Nomura just loves that design and I think he’ll always find ways to emulate it, whether it’s a game or real life. 😂 Hell, even the character at 7:14 looks like Noctis!
I have mixed feelings seeing this so much effort poured in to the making of this legendary game. All I can say is that I am glad to be alive to play it. Yours, 20 years fan
lol its a sham to make money off clicks and to take away your rights and freedoms. Its not even that deadly. In 4 months its killed less then 4000 and only infected around 150k worldwide. Compare that to the spanish flu of 1918 that killed 50 MILLION in a year and infected 500million 1/3rd of the worlds population at the time. They didnt have fast travel either. If this shit is so deadly millions should be dead and infected already. Dont listen to the news. They are just trying to make money off you
mattzx77 I don’t agree with you. The situation in hospitals in Italy, Spain, France and Germany is already bad. And this is only the beginning. No one is immune this time, and people will be sick and die for a very long time before this is all over. Your ignorance towards science and experts is not very smart. You must live in the US if you have that much problem with the media and governments? Here, we have public service media that have no interest in making money out of this.
mattzx77 Oh so you actually did live in the states? I rather live in a “shitty EU” where we actually have a decent society, not like US where the entire welfare-system has been sold out, where democracy falls, media is sponsored and people are so poor they’re dying on the streets. :)
When Nomura said he would have liked to see more of the upper plate if he's speaking about going back and playing around a bit up there i would like to see how the rich live on the plate. In the e3 trailer the upper plate looked very nice and city like
I like how a lot of them repeated similar concepts, really shows they're all on the same page in making this and/or working together very closely. Based on the demo, I'd say everyone represented here was wildly successful in their endeavors! The combat is probably my favorite I've ever played (at least so far!) - not super difficult (unless you're a Kotaku editor) but enough that i think the game will present a challenge...and the flow, nostalgia, music, ambience, environments...everything just made me excited...like EVERYTHING. I saw a Banora apple juice poster and yelled "OH!" and had to tell my girlfriend that's important for later; she's never played any FF7 games. I'm also waiting to see how Nomura's gonna blow my mind. He's good at that.
Reflect back for a moment, when we were all dreaming : "What would it be if they remade FFVII..." We dreamt about it for 15/20 f***ing years !! IT'S ACTUALLY REAL ! I see myself back in 1997... just, wow. *_tears_*
He's actually a really shy person, he doesn't like going out to events and being on camera so he says. Which probably explains why we hear from the producer all the time and him once in a blue moon
Thanks Square Enix for all the love and attention you are putting in FF7. I was 10 when I got my own copy. Before that, I used to play at a friends house. I'm now 31 and have 3 kids. And I cant wait for April 10th. My kids all know Cloud and crew as well. I'm going to experience the Remake with them. :)
My god, this game looks more and more amazing with every little preview! Just need to wait out this virus, slightly nervous since my wife is a nurse on the front lines and also because I take bp meds. Plenty of nurses who can't wait to play this game either, including my wife, think about that! This game's looking like a golden shiny wire of hope. Stay safe out there everyone, we'll make it through.

"You may think you know what's coming next!" - Tetsuya Nomura 2020 - this guy!
My gut telling me that the second part is already at >50% progress 😎😎

@@Mithrie Can always buy a house later but only have one chance at this before internet ruins it for many. Lol
@@mikeflightfpv2162 Very true!
@@Mithrie lol i even bought a ps4 just for ffvii remake so you already know my answer! i planned to skip ps4 but now...
lots of new footage including honey bee inn, the slums, upper plate, ect. Wow can't wait!
I love these "documentaries" their thinking, and feelings on the subject. I hope lots of ppl will see this and appreciate the shear volume of work that's gone into all this content. Lots of ppl are salty about not being turn based, and thought the original was perfect and remake would ruin it - but perfect is an illusion, it's something infinite, and can always be improved - it's awesome that SE has these incredible directors producers and developers, that can imagine so much more, and bring it to life.
Remake will be everything the original was, and so much more.
I'm torn if i will buy it for ps4 though, rather wait for PS5 version - but i want to play the game so badly 😱
Ps4 will be the ps5 version. The console will be the only difference same as xbox x series
Robert R Ps5 will have backwards capabilities. So they probably won’t make a ps5 version. Part 2 sure, but not part 1.
Hmm, well i mean they ported a 4k/60fps version of FF15 to PC, so they could do that with FF7R too. If they make a PS5 version of FF7R, it could be native 4k/60fps+, and they could throw in improved effects, etc.
But true, i guess it would be sufficient with a PS5 4k "pro patch" that unlock fps, etc.
@@elmondark I feel like that's how they'll do it, I for sure would not be able to wait til late this year or early next year if there's any delays in manufacturing.
One should keep priorities right! Play the game as soon as you can, instead of waiting for something you believe might happen in the future. Anything can happen till then! Better safe then sorry! ;)
"Top class DJ Performance" is weirdly the best description of this combat system. It doesn't get enough praise, it's the fucking best combat system in an RPG this generation.
Nomura’s cool factor in this interview shot off a 100 more points. This man is the definition of cool.
One of the greatest artistic endeavours in human history.
Beyond unbelievable.
As Nomura himself said please enjoy...this is his work and hes doing to please everyone
I started to tear up when he said that. I think my body is ready, but idk lol
This is such a great team.
Can't please everyone, but i think this will please most people, except hardcore conservative purists who can't accept the game isn't same turn based as original.
@@elmondark Those people are ungrateful weaboo shitcunts that the Coronavirus should claim next
@@unclesuave well some ppl have ADHD etc, and get mental breakdown if something changes drastically.
Or it breaks their sense of stability and security. I think that's why ppl panic buy toilet paper for corona outbreak, even though it's completely useless - at least they've done something, and if they panic, they can just go shit and wipe their ass, to calm down 💩
But i hope seeing this behind the scenes, will make them see the hard work and dedication, and appreciate it, and get hyped :)
That new footage 😍😍😍😍
“Please enjoy” heck, just y’all making the REMAKE is enough to enjoy. The graphics alone is enough enjoyment. I can’t wait. 😊
it will be a giant masterpiece ♥️
This is so beautiful I want to cry... I really love Final Fantasy with all my heart, I'm amazed ♥
I live for these new clips 😭
Yup
Kai april can’t come soon enough
I had no idea Hamauzu was involved!! OMFG yes!!!
NileSings Uematsu, Hamauzu, and Suzuki as a trio! 👌 The first two worked together on X! :D
@@MattAndre24 Friggin' beautiful!
Thanks you for making this game, I can't wait to play it in April.
15:30 Broooo that other Mako Reactor Battle Theme remix was dope! Can't wait to listen it better!!!!
Right! The previous mako reactor battle remix has been my fav new track to come out of this remake project so far then this new one just comes outta nowhere in a damn interview!
I think we all need to realize how much they put in this game should be much APPRECIATED. April could not come soon enough. I actually become emotional at the end because to this day, I still can’t believe it’s still coming and it’s actually happening. I concur with them, I hope that BOTH NEW AND LOYAL fans will enjoy this game. 💖
Never had me looking forward to Easter as much as this year. I am certain that they wont disappoint us.
Woah the new battle director looks young. kudos to him, you nailed the battle system! perfect balance of old and new
gustinex He’s worked with Kitase and Toriyama on a Mobius FF as well, as Project Lead!
@Fantasy Raider yeah the regular mode of course. its kinda hard at first, takes some time to get used to. but goddamn its so fucking fun and intense. can't wait to try it out on the rest of the cast!
Tetsuya Nomura is so damn cool! And he knows it
Alom M. He live and act like Final Fantasy character lol
No he isn't.

Sitting here and admiring Tifa and her theme at 17:20 I'm so pumped for this game!
Thank you for this. Massively enjoyed watching and listening the geniuses behind FFVII. Arigatō.
The music make me dreaming
Awnnn you can see the flower Aeris gave Cloud 4:01, I love little details like this.
Wish we could've gone back to the upper midgar in the later game. Such a beautiful location underused.
MAY THE SPIRITS AND WILLS OF THOSE WHO FIGHT NEVER CEASE ⚔️
Tip, set the camera lock to free. It makes the combat feel so much better.
And harder

Nomura seems like such a cool guy. I loved hearing the man himself talk about the masterpiece!
I want to express my appreciation to the developers for all the hard work and passion that's been put into this massive project, their vision is perfect.
This game will be a masterpiece when it comes out and well done to the whole Square-Enix team who have done an incredible job with the remake. It has honestly exceeded my expectations from what I wanted to see from this FF7R and as a long time fan, I absolutely cannot wait to play this on launch!!
I LOVE IT! Thank You Nomura and the entire team for bringing this game to life for this old man! I have my first class edition preordered, and am waiting patiently to enjoy the beauty you have poured so many hours of work into! CANT WAIT! 💙💙💙
I feel like Nostalgia can only take us OG fans so far. And the slight changes/tweaks will be well worth it for something that's going to be a healthy mix of nostalgia and freshness. I'm ready. Jenova, take the wheel!
This was only Episode 1?! Wow, it is so awesome to hear these development stories, their mindsets, and goals as they approach such a massive and important project like Final Fantasy VII. Can't wait for the next video. Thank you Nomura, Kitase, and the entire FFVIIR team!
18:03 YOU CAN GIVE TIFA THE FLOWER 😭
Do it! We must divide the points so we can take best girl Yuffie on the date instead! Which makes me wonder - just how amazing is Gold Saucer gonna be in a remake. By god I'm hyped for scenes years away from release lol
please dont forget barret 😂
Barret so I'm I gonna get some action tonight? Cloud be gentle.
@@skodedickinson6544 Yuffie will be as bubbly as Rikku was if not more?

They sure showed a lot of footage in this video, I can't wait till April.
Please Enjoy!! Omg I can't wait
I have no words to express how happy I am to see that Final Fantasy VII Remake is reiciving the treatment that it deserves. I feel like everyone is putting their heart and souls on it, like they did with the original one. It looks beautiful and I can't wait to see it when it comes out.
06:58 my boy Johnny (I think lol)
Yep
I'd like to hug all the developers for returning me to my childhood. Thanks Kitase san for bringing all this to life! Thanks a lot for everything! FF7R release is like Christmas at age 12, emotions overwhelm me.
I just copy and paste this video link to counter every clueless comment from haters
Fuck those guys... can’t let the,selves enjoy anything or be excited whenever the answers are CLEARLY stated and shown
Estrogen Fury i liked kh3
Estrogen Fury
When it comes to games, you can’t please everyone. There are people who like FFXV and people who dislike Breath of the Wild. People like different things, so just because people like FFXV or KH3 doesn’t mean they will like this game.
As for me, I liked them both, and I have a feeling that I’ll like this game as well! But that’s just me. Maybe I’m overly optimistic about those two games, but I can still see why people say that those games weren’t as good. They had a lot of time, but they didn’t use that time as wisely.
Personally, as long as they can learn from their mistakes and improve upon it, one way or another, I’m OK with what comes out of it. Maybe it means releasing some DLC or making some updates. That’s OK. At least they’re learning and improving upon their failures instead of leaving it be.
I’m probably just rambling at this point, but I thought this had to be said. ^_^; I’ll take my leave.
@@NaviNeku24 i don't like some games too..but i am not talk shit in every post about the game i dislike.
No joke, I've accidentally (honestly) ended up in some seedy places in Japan and it really is accurately reflected in that HoneyBee Inn lobby lol.
Growing up with FF7, as a random Irish guy, it was actually quite surreal when I went to Japan and felt like so many places were familiar because of that game. I can't express how excited I am for this whole project, and they seem to be as dedicated to delivering a fantastic experience as much as us fans are dedicated to loving this universe. What a time to be alive. I couldn't be happier.
We get to see some of the world, and new characters!?
Yes, this one already showed many new scenes.
@@PrishxYT yeah it's cool they're teasing more new content

This video got me so deep in the feels. I am so happy to live in this period. That Tifa's them...got me so much.
Tifa is so .... perfect
I'm a new player to the franchise, this video was so good! Thank you for such an awesome game!
I’m convinced that Final Fantasy VII: Remake will go down the P.T. Route, and the first people to complete the game properly get a secret ending which shows a trailer for Part 2 of the Remake, with shots of the entire world.
Not gonna happen. Part 2 only just started development.
as one of those kids who grew up with FF7 being a new game in their childhood, I have tears in my eyes hearing them talk about this remake. it IS my childhood and i would any day spend my money to support it.
thanks for this game square. really, thank you! Please dont quit before bringing the whole story to us - I am sure the sale figures of this remake will give you the budget to do so.
Beautiful! I look forward to exploring Midgar and it’s entirety soon!
8:40 🙃
Not its entirety
suicidal high school white girl *Mostly* everywhere.
I dont have words to describe how much im looking forward to this game. All i can say is a huge thank you to everyone at square who are involved in the making of it
Nomura: if I can’t make noctis again . I will just be noctis !
Ah, but he did make Noctis again, aka. Yozora from Kingdom Hearts 3. Nomura just loves that design and I think he’ll always find ways to emulate it, whether it’s a game or real life. 😂 Hell, even the character at 7:14 looks like Noctis!
bitch you thought he cant make noctis again lol
@@DarkMaestro88 he does, thats what i thought also lol. He looks like a compinasiot of cid and Noctis from ffxv lmao

Watching and hearing more of the OST during this video made me tear up so fast.
Man, this game is going to be such a treat.
18:29 HELLOOO
I have mixed feelings seeing this so much effort poured in to the making of this legendary game. All I can say is that I am glad to be alive to play it.
Yours,
20 years fan
This game is what’s keeping me alive now literally. This pandemic is frightening. Thank you Square Enix.
lol its a sham to make money off clicks and to take away your rights and freedoms. Its not even that deadly. In 4 months its killed less then 4000 and only infected around 150k worldwide. Compare that to the spanish flu of 1918 that killed 50 MILLION in a year and infected 500million 1/3rd of the worlds population at the time. They didnt have fast travel either. If this shit is so deadly millions should be dead and infected already. Dont listen to the news. They are just trying to make money off you
mattzx77 I don’t agree with you. The situation in hospitals in Italy, Spain, France and Germany is already bad. And this is only the beginning. No one is immune this time, and people will be sick and die for a very long time before this is all over. Your ignorance towards science and experts is not very smart. You must live in the US if you have that much problem with the media and governments? Here, we have public service media that have no interest in making money out of this.
@@dreamer6737 Sure bro sure. The BBC and the like doesnt lie at all. You're a sheep that will believe anything your shitty EU tells you.
mattzx77 Oh so you actually did live in the states? I rather live in a “shitty EU” where we actually have a decent society, not like US where the entire welfare-system has been sold out, where democracy falls, media is sponsored and people are so poor they’re dying on the streets. :)
When Nomura said he would have liked to see more of the upper plate if he's speaking about going back and playing around a bit up there i would like to see how the rich live on the plate. In the e3 trailer the upper plate looked very nice and city like
I like how a lot of them repeated similar concepts, really shows they're all on the same page in making this and/or working together very closely. Based on the demo, I'd say everyone represented here was wildly successful in their endeavors! The combat is probably my favorite I've ever played (at least so far!) - not super difficult (unless you're a Kotaku editor) but enough that i think the game will present a challenge...and the flow, nostalgia, music, ambience, environments...everything just made me excited...like EVERYTHING. I saw a Banora apple juice poster and yelled "OH!" and had to tell my girlfriend that's important for later; she's never played any FF7 games.
I'm also waiting to see how Nomura's gonna blow my mind. He's good at that.
I've been avoiding getting hyped for so long, but this is TOO MUCH. Seeing all these talent
Subtitled in Portuguese thank you very much
Thank you to every single person working to make this game real. Thank you.
It's too beautiful.
what did we do to deserve this kind of legendary experience?
Especially loved that last message from Nomura to apprehensive fans of the original..."please enjoy."
Advent children with this current quality of cgi would be dope af
Yes I watched ff ac last night again and this games graphics are so much better can’t believe how far gaming has come.
Cannot wait. I finally believe you. After playing the demo, I get it man. Do your art, I will enjoy it.
Nomura was the right person to direct this project. People should stop being haters about him.
Thank you ! Nomura = Older Noctis
Reflect back for a moment, when we were all dreaming :
"What would it be if they remade FFVII..." We dreamt about it for 15/20 f***ing years !!
IT'S ACTUALLY REAL ! I see myself back in 1997... just, wow. *_tears_*
10:00 another beautiful arrangement of the battle theme!
Lmao why does my n*gga nomura always tryna act like his characters in his interviews 😂 love it tho
LOL
bcs he secretly is a FF protagonist 👀
He's actually a really shy person, he doesn't like going out to events and being on camera so he says. Which probably explains why we hear from the producer all the time and him once in a blue moon
Why not? I would too
ill do that too
Midgar looks AMAZING!!!! I can’t wait !
Thanks a lot for this game.... the dream become true.
I remember to play this game with 15 yr old, and now, my sons was played the game demo 23 years after, and loved it like me.
this game is going to be incredible i just know it.
Thanks Square Enix for all the love and attention you are putting in FF7. I was 10 when I got my own copy. Before that, I used to play at a friends house. I'm now 31 and have 3 kids. And I cant wait for April 10th. My kids all know Cloud and crew as well. I'm going to experience the Remake with them. :)
My god, this game looks more and more amazing with every little preview! Just need to wait out this virus, slightly nervous since my wife is a nurse on the front lines and also because I take bp meds. Plenty of nurses who can't wait to play this game either, including my wife, think about that!
This game's looking like a golden shiny wire of hope. Stay safe out there everyone, we'll make it through.
just the music. the music alone is nothing short of phenomenal.
