Coupled with a new set of screenshots yesterday, the Final Fantasy VII Remake marketing machine really is kicking into gear. Next up we have the game's opening movie, which has to be said is five minutes of beauty and excellence. Check it out for yourself above and bask in its glory.
We initially catch some glimpses of updated shots from the title's original E3 2015 announcement trailer before transitioning into newer footage which includes Aerith, at which point it zooms out to provide a wide shot of Midgar itself. Then, it's time to cue the title card and the arrival of Cloud Strife upon the classic high-speed train. This all looks incredible, doesn't it? Don't forget that Final Fantasy VII Remake comes to PlayStation 4 on 10th April.

... Well that was sleek, snazzy and utterly gorgeous.
I shan't be tempted by visuals alone though! I need to play that demo whenever it's coming out... and soon! 😂
Nice. I was planning on getting this, but the more I see...
I have one four-letter word for you Square Enix:
Demo
The wilting flower scene really resonated with me; it conveys the idea that plant life is unsustainable in an industrial city of Midgard. Yet in some parts of the city, there is life (eg, the church and Aerith’s home).
We see a duality in this opening scene; on the one hand, machines and man have transformed the land barren; and on the other - life has found a way to persevere despite the bleak environment.
It’s a message of hope, and is relevant to the misguided Avalanche group who appears to be hopeful in making changes.
Yeah, I saw the leaked version of this awhile back. It's such a perfect little modern twist on the opening. I still get goosebumps watching this. And, boy, comparing it to the original, they've REALLY expanded Midgar. It looks quite a bit larger.
This is honestly the cyberpunk game I'm most excited for this year.
I've pre ordered and I'm not watching any trailers anything so it doesn't spoil anything
This game is already better than Final Fantasy XIII just from the opening.
The opening is so beautiful. The wait is killing me.
Beautiful. I smiled when I saw the playground slide.
I can't wait to explore that "#$%@ pizza" again (or whatever the exact Barret quote is 😄)
@johncalmc To be fair, being hit by a truck is better than FFXIII. But yeah, it looks amazing.
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L You and me both. I never expected to be so excited for a new game, and in particular a new final fantasy, after the past few entries (and i actually liked 13 and 15). I am so hyped.
FF7 is the most important title in my gaming life. Its what got me into JRPG's, and is what kickstarted my love of Japanese culture. It is single handedly the reason i still game as heavily as i do today
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L @Rob_230 Same here, first RPG that woke me up to how amazing video games can be...I was a RPG love since and still am.
Just wish I still had as much free time as I did back then...being an adult with a full time job sucks.
@Rob_230 first jrpg that i ever played was FF1. Ive been hooked on rpgs ever since! Makes me feel old...😔
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L You're so lucky to have enough time off to set aside XD.
I will have to wait for the following weekend before I'll get to play, but definitely will be worth the wait .
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L I had nothing planned around the original release date so was a bit sad, however the delay does have it's upsides.
Gives me time to beat Kingdom Hearts 3: Remind DLC and maybe one full game (I'm thinking OG Persona 5 maybe).
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L My backlog is alot worse...I have 150+ unplayed PS4 games, and they're all beefy AAA titles too.
Strongly considering getting a PS4 just to play this game. Whoa.
