That Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo Is Definitely Happening as Full Intro Leaks Online

could be a new year shadow drop.

would be a cool gift for sure!

The remade intro with Aerith looks so good.

Really happy we're getting a demo.

omg omg omg OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it will be released on christmas, when it's gonna release!!

SE should released it on new year, which is now

I want to play the demo so bad, but I’m gonna hold off. It’s only 2 months until it releases now, and I want that ‘I can’t believe I’m playing this game’ feeling when I start the full thing

Hopefully we get the official demo before the weekend is over

I'll be playing through this demo over and over again just to hear the music.

I've never really gotten into Final Fantasy before, so I'll eagerly try out this demo if it's real.

I’m snapping up this demo, just got my Pro and can’t wait to see it in all its glory.

Tee hee...my 12 year old self is going crazy. Most anticipated remake EVER😁

Arghh I'm freaking out with nostalgia.
Looks, and sounds, gorgeously faithful.
Thank god they didn't hold out for PS5.
Shan't be buying that white elephant.

I can't believe this is real. It gives me hardcore goosebumps.

Music has noticable differences,
Barret Wallace sounds awfull,
Rumour's gameplay is like F.F.15 and now Push Square promoting illegal practices............for God's sake Square soft bring the game out before we have an Atomic meltdown.
A red phonebox?

This + the last of us 2 + ghost of tushima and another exclusive will land when the ps5 drops and I'm betting it's hzd 2. Gonna be a good year and still got the likes of cyberpunk 2077 dying light 2 as well.

@darksoul77 if hzd2 releases 2020 it will be as a launch game for the ps5.

no way it will be releasing before the ps5 does.

@jdv95 yes that's what I said.

@darksoul77 sorry read your comment wrong

I'm torn.

On the one hand, it's nice to know these sorts of things for sure, but on the other there's no surprise, ya know? They could've been like "here's our Jan PS+ games...oh yeah, and THIS" and dropped the demo. That would've been sweet.

I NEED THIS NOW!! Everything about this game has shown me that care and attention is being given to the remake. Final Fantasy VII is my favourite game of all time, and the intro gave me several shivers down my spine.

I was 11 when the game originally came out, and that year I remember going into Game with my parents. The shop staff actually advised me against the game due to my age and I'm glad they did actually. We ended up with a PS1 and 6 games (Croc, Crash Bandicoot, Total Drivin' and I think WipEout 2097 and a couple of others) and my mind was blown with 3D graphics. A couple of years later after reading many an article about the game in magazines at the time I finally got the game and my sister and I played through it after school every night for weeks. I cried when that moment happened. I couldn't believe that the ATB and materia systems were so flexible, and a completely new way of playing for me, as I had never played an RPG before. What a way to start. FFVII spurred me into the genre and I remember immediately renting and loving Star Ocean The 2nd Story, Alundra, Wild Arms and many more. Such fond memories.

@KrazyK85 agreed. Though I usually manage to avoid game previews and spoilers well for the games I really want to play (I still know next to nothing about Death Stranding for example and will be buying it when I can afford it), whenever it is FFVII Remake I can't help but lap up every bit of info that comes out.

@BorderlineJon Yeah I feel ya. If they got the opening like this I'm thinking media blackout after the game releases in order to avoid the new plot stuff from coming out though. That is if someone doesn't manage to crack the game open too. I would hope that's harder...

Saw your above comment also. Same for me except I was 12 at the time. In '97. I'm old.

Everything leaks nowadays. Everything.

Almost no surprises, no GATCHA! moments. Fighting game rosters are leaked. Demos are leaked. Covers are leaked. Games are leaked. Endings are leaked. Screenshots are leaked. Videos are leaked. Cancelled games are leaked. Console specs are leaked.

As a YouTuber once said, "The Internet gave us access to everything … but also gave everything access to us."

@Nickolaidas well isnt the leak a surprise?

I'm praying for a New Year's surprise!

The music and visual design are out of this world. Amazing to think that a remake of one of the first games I played on my PS1 will be bookending the PS4's wildly successful run.

I think i am about to abuse a demo like i haven't done since the early PS3 days.

Surreal the game is so close now.

@Netret0120 Don't get ahead of yourself.What if its like the ps4 re 2 original 1 shot demo? That was only 30 minutes,then it locked up.

Pre ordered it on amazon along with Last of Us Part 2 I normally don't buy games new but I am these 2, if FF7 Part 2 comes out in 1 years time ive got my £40 worth of fun for that when it comes. I hope that maybe Square Enix will do a special offer register it for a small discount off part 2

@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L My only gripe is the voices I wish they brough back the originals from Advent Children I even think Seohiroths isn't the same either the movie voices where perfects IMO

@hulkie

Oh no! I forgot about that. That would actually be great hype for the game because if i love the demo and can only play it once, i am certainly buying it Day 1

@KrazyK85 haha we are not old. 30s are the new 20s because 40s are the new 30s, or something! Just seen on N4G and someone has cracked the demo and posted a nearly 15 minute video. Needless to say I didn't and will not be watching it.

@BorderlineJon True enough. That's what they say these days. I'm not watching it either. I mentioned on Push's most recent article about the demo that I'm basically worried the game will be leaked before it even releases.

@KrazyK85 it's definitely possible. Didn't that happen with Kingdom Hearts 3? If so Squeenix need to be more careful!

@BorderlineJon I'm not sure. I know when certain games come out they just get straight up spoiled. Found that out the hard way with God of War when it came out.

@KrazyK85 I've managed to avoid it with most games (God of War is in my backlog, Death Stranding too). I don't understand the mentality of finding out every single detail of a game before playing it. I mean, why then bother at all when the discovery has all been spoiled?

@BorderlineJon Indeed. I'll dabble in info to a point (usually when dealing with game mechanics/battle system etc.) but this leaked stuff is for the birds.

Being an FQA/Game tester, the game is going to be "ok" seeing how SE made many changes into the game from the original. Yes, it is a Remake but I'm not sure it's not going to be as great as SE and all these reviews are making it sound.
