It's funny how in my "year 2000 brain" the game always looked like this. But now we don't have to make those imaginary visual leaps in our minds anymore.

That walking in the fire scene gets better and better every game

[JaredBared]

You know it's not Cloud when he starts doing squats like Zack would

They really sent shivers down your spine in the remake. Watching Sephiroth butcher those towns people right in front of you while you crawl around trying to save your mom is just…heavy man

[willuigi]

Cloud's VA and animation really does a great job at looking like Zach

They should have left it as Sephiroth fighting a dragon. Amazing demo! Probably the most fun I’ve had from a demo ever.

Played the demo... and its cinematic as ever... combat feels snapier too... better than remake..

[oneall]

This is just amazing. To see this, to see this game come back to life in a new era. Fas who played the original including myself can appreciate just how epic this game is going to be

[BenDayProductions]

It's a shame Sephiroth doesn't fight the dragon anymore

[nvc.]

Final Fantasy VII is the very best rpg ever made imo. Its incredible.

4:07 Why did the towns folk have guns but not shoot? It looks like they wait to be hit with the sword

This is how remakes & remasters should be like. Transforming really old 2d ps1, ps2 games to ps5 level graphics & performance. And substantially reinventing & reimagining the entire game & gameplay.

Sadly most companies these days remaster very recent games that don't even need remaster just to earn some quick bucks. You know which games I'm talking about. They just improve very minor details here & there while keeping the entire gameplay exactly the same & then call it a remaster/remake

to Final Fantasy 7 fans it always looked like that in their minds 👌🏼

[juanlash]

the fire scene is one of the most iconic scenes in videogame history, I'm glad they did it justice

[tasosathens]

Sephiroth in the Original is far more intimidating, majestic, mysterious and Godlike! Look his bright green eyes glowing in flames slowly rising his face!!! Look how his Silver hair..looks like its made from liquid metal(in rebirth looks like old woman).Look his rugged looking face (graphics detail in rebirth make him baby face)Look the subtlety of his movements and his posture both in battle and Cutscenes.Look his amazing form and graceful gestures!!! Original FFVII is True Art in every way. Its unique power, atmosphere and charm stems from smart Camera angles and movements Graphical ambiguity, Graceful movements and Amazing Visual forms.Graphical detail destroyed the magnificent aura of these things!!!!

2:51 ‘Left’ Me getting excited for the release date. 😁

4:05 this QTE is totally unnecessary, the rest looks outstanding as expected.

[Dahpie]

The bit with the Grand Dragon should've remained gameplay, it worked well because it tells story through gameplay. Cloud has barely any HP and Sephiroth has a ton. He can use Ice and Fire 3 and you get one shot, where as he can kill said dragon on one blow. It really helped use gameplay to convey just how strong Sephiroth really is.

can someone also compare this flashback to crisis core reunion? would be interesting as well

[solidwisdom]

To go from those graphics to this. Massive achievement in gaming graphics
