I'm 35 years old, playing FF7 for the first time. I'm using my pspgo on my pspgo cradle connected via component cables to a 27 inch Sony Trinitron on 240p with a dualshock3 connected via bluetooth. Just spent the whole memorial day weekend playing 40 hours still on disc 2. IT IS THE BEST GAME EVER
The best Final Fantasy they have ever made. The characters, the story, the music, the settings, the gameplay...it was just soooo special. It really touched the soul and heart of gamers everywhere and I try to replay it as often as I can. When I'm 70 I will still be telling myself, "Got to put another play file on it, might be the final chance I get and I need to relive it!" lol ^^
When he talked about the emotions, the scene. I could vividly remember the feelings I had around that time, all the pain the anger, the shock, the passion and the music! Everything spot on perfect.
I was actually happy, I didn't have to deal with her forcing herself into the party anymore like she forced herself onto Cloud when they first met after he tried sneaking out and leaving her. Hopefully the Remake makes that scene more impactful without having to add an unnecessary and temporary romance.
I can't even fathom what it must feel like to be Art Director of a game at the age of 25 and then looking back at what a legacy you've managed to help create nearly two decades later
Its so nostalgic, i swear it almost feels like it made me live and feel those iconic moments and emotions all over again. Tho i have an imense respect for everyone involved in this, i wo7ld like to see Nomura in it, also hopefully this is a hint that the remake is closer than we expect.
Thank you for making and sharing this video! To this day, Final Fantasy VII is my favourite game and just thinking about it brings a smile to my face. I remember talking about it at school all day and rushing home to play it. What a great summer that was. To the developers, artists, composers, and all involved: thanks for creating this masterpiece.
To any dev that might read this. Uh thank you.Thanks for everything. I love every bit of FF VII. It's crazy story, it's spin-offs. All of it. Thank you.
Loving the inside retrospective by the devs. It's awesome how they're careful not to spoil anything, even if the major plot points are beyond spoiled at this point in time. They're talking as if the game was just developed.
20:27 I always mention this. how someone could be playing Super Smash or Dissidia and have Cloud or Whoever be their favorite character, and then discover that there’s an entire game(s) based on this character you just knew about from a random game. I bet it would feel amazing finding this out.
Final fantasy VII is easily one of my favorite games of all time. I end up replaying it every couple of years and I always enjoy it. It just so easy to fall in to, I actually happen to be replaying it again right now on an emulator on PS Vita. Squaresoft has been in a sharp decline since they merged with Enix I just don’t think they understand what made their classic games so good. It’s sad but at least we have the first 10 final fantasys to play indefinitely
Thanks to all you from the development team for this game and the memories it brought. It really does stand out from the rest, in my opinion. I always thought that the game being not as beautiful (opposed to later games I mean) - simply because it was one of the first games in 3D, along with the dialogs in text instead of being spoken, etc. was part of what made this game great. This way my own mind made up for the imperfections. Which made the game perfect! Like reading a good book instead of seeing the movie.
13:18 "Well the girls are going to like Sephiroth after this" I love how true that is because I still squee whenever Sephiroth shows up on screen. How is he still so hot?? 😣💕
OG: "So rather than having him there from the beginning like a normal character, he doesn't even show up in the first part of the game, but he's someone whose reputation precedes him." Remake: "Haha Sephiroth go brrrrr"
watched the whole thing crying slowly... still by far one of the best game of all time. 22 years later Aeris's deatrh still breaks my soul... the world needs more games like that !
THEY ARE STRUGGLING SO HARD TO NOT MAKE ANY SPOILER FOR PEOPLE FOR A GAME RELEASED 22 YEARS AGO AND YOU DISRESPECTFUL THEM SO HARD BY ACTUALLY SHOWING CUTSCENEEEES OMGGG nice documentary fam 10/10
Eric Holy Sword compare the plot of ff7 and how the characters act to how hes portrayed them in any shit show this clown has been in charge of (kh, advent children) and its obvious he has no fucking clue. this is a guy that if he was in any other profession hed be shitcanned for incompetence and gross misuse of company resources. this is a guy whos barely qualified to give handjobs out in the backalleys of tokyo, not be in charge of a remake of one of the most beloved games of all time. period
That was very interesting, I guess Midgar’s theme being named “Under the Rotting Pizza” is also a reference to that being the inspiration for the look of it too.
Still the best game ever made I had it on my ps1... On my ps3.... Ps4.... And now on my Xbox 1 x Still love this game so much With the best soundtracks ever made ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@11:00 that is one of the peculiar things about Final Fantasy 7 it was a very in-between moment between 2D and 3D and even playing through, its easy to see how they married the two
Once the final part of the remake is released, I hope they have a huge documentary that details all of the inner meetings and stuff about how the remake came to be and its progress throughout the many years it'll take to complete the game.
Nice video, I like that even 22 years later, the devs are respectful to fans about spoilers. I'm really glad SE took back the reigns from CyberConnect2, because now SE can do it like they should have in the first place, and now CyberConnect2 is working on a Dragon Ball Z open world RPG.
ElFamoso Darkyaya They lost source code of FFVII, VIII and Kingdom Hearts xD, but they ported the original FFVII game to PC with a no-final version of PSX code using reverse engineering and fixing or completing the code, they ported then the game to Android and then to PS4 and now to Xbox and Switch, and the same for Kingdom Heart Final Mix for PS3 :(, but for some reason...they didn't use reverse engineering with FFVIII ☹️, and they ignored the recent anniversary too...
Neither have actually been proven but there's seemingly two reasons for FFVIII's lack of ports. It's either got something to do with legal issues regarding Eyes on Me or possibly the source code was lost.
13:18 Kitase's comment was so weird and funny, but also so true! 😂 Even though he had basically gone mad during that scene, he was bold enough to say "Well, the girls are going to like Sephiroth after this"! I wonder if he meant that girls will like him, no matter what he does, or he thinks girls would be self-aware while crushing over Sephiroth. 🤔
22 22 no he didn’t he only created the character design, the original ff7, can u normura fanboys shut up! Because that guy didn’t create anything in ff7 he only did the movie
@@john_7000 No, you shut up. I'm not even Nomura's fanboy. Do your research before you talk. Nomura did help with the writing of the characters' backstory and such. finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII#Story_2
Por siempre amaré este juego con cada fibra de mi ser, su música, personajes, historia, cada una me atrapó y enamoró de principio a fin, ff7 es un juego muy especial y único y siempre lo llevaré en mi corazón hasta el último de mis días
I'm happy to know that they love the Snowboarding and Submarine Mini Games. Hopefully that means they will be in the Remake. What worries me though is that Kitase limited his thought to people liking the game just because of the Characters. The characters were only part of the reason.
Why is there a flashing black ESRB rating screen throughout the video? Kind of sketchy. 19:40 is the one I verified but I saw at least two more before that.
This video was really done. FFVII is a masterpiece and my favorite game of all time. Really hoping the new game stays true to the original and the action combat doesn't ruin it. I know we'll still always have the original, but I wish it was only the graphics that were being updated :) Also , this video is a really good companion to the massive article done by polygon: www.polygon.com/a/final-fantasy-7
I start to question if that level can ever be acchieved again. Immensly talented people with new technology at the perfect time came together to create a true masterpiece. Never have I experienced something comparable in gaming since and I kept looking for it. I really liked parts of FF8 also but after that the magic left and never came back. Story, music, characters and the world where just so well put togehter and impactful.
I wouldn't mind to wait 5 years more for the remake if it becomes much closer to ff7 than to ffxv! The best thing of ff7 is not just the story or the characters... in my opinion is the massive amount of different scenarios and environments, hundreds of them with big differences what makes you feel lost in an interactive huge world full of adventures and secrets....and the ost, best one in videogames history.
There probably wont be one anytime soon. From what i understand they lost the original copy for it or something like that. That type of thing happened alot back in the day
"Hey, let's set the next one in New York!" "Nah, I'm not feeling it. I dunno, let's just create one of the most iconic cities in all of science fiction." Those more subtle real-life influences must be a part of why it resonates so well as a setting. (also this shouldn't bother me as much as it does, but Midgar is diesel/cyberpunk, not steampunk)
haha, I'll try! It's ultimately more of a "know it when you see it" kind of thing, but here's my quick & dirty, oversimplified explanation: - Steampunk is a romanticized, sci-fi reflection of about the last half of the 1800s. Think Jules Verne or "League of Extraordinary Gentleman" kind of stuff. Expect to see machines with lot of wood & brass parts, wrought iron, canvas & leather, glass tubes, gears, and of course hissing gouts of steam from the steam engines that power everything and from which the genre gets its name. In FF7 the first room inside of the Nibelheim reactor, with the catwalk and ladders, definitely has a steampunk vibe (since it's supposed to be an older reactor) but that's pretty much the only thing that does. - Dieselpunk is a romanticized, sci-fi reflection of the period from about WW1 to WW2, getting its name from how machines around that time were powered by diesel engines rather than steam. Expect to see lots of heavy, bolted steel armor, fins, chrome accents, propellers, rocket engines, tank treads, machine guns, and of course huge, HUGE cannons. Think "Metal Slug," "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow," the "Wolfenstein" games, or a lot of the vehicles & machinery in FF7, like the cars and a lot of the architecture in Midgar, how the Highwind is modeled after a WW2 bomber, and how Junon has kind of "industrial art deco" vibe and is reminiscent of the giant guns Germany built to shell England. - Cyberpunk is a genre of more futuristic science fiction focused on the effects of computer, robotic, and transhuman technology on our lives, as well as how the dominance of private capital and megacorporations that emerged in the 1980s will lead to a dystopia of corporate control of the government and vast income inequality. Think "Blade Runner" and "Ghost in the Shell," and in FF7 things like all the robots, Barret's cyborg arm, the neon techno-junkyard of the Midgar slums, the extreme social stratification (in this case literally), and of course just everything about Shinra in general. I hope that clears things up a little bit, but like I said that's just a quick and simple explanation. If you're curious, just googling the different terms (both regular and image search) will give you a pretty good feel for them, but don't do it unless you've got some time to kill, because there's a rabbit hole of all sorts of other genres with names like "raygun gothic" and "cassette futurism" you might get sucked into (but it's worth it, it's really interesting & creative stuff).
Just curious, doesn't anyone try to imagine Midgar City, sector-by-sector? I never have, but I think it would be cool to a more comprehensive understanding of all the locations.

Its a shame they didn't bring up the music. Uematsu is a genius and his music improved this game so much that you can't even imagine a different ost.
Uematsu was in good health back then I think.
The music was literally everything. It's the reason I actually started playing piano!
I'm 35 years old, playing FF7 for the first time. I'm using my pspgo on my pspgo cradle connected via component cables to a 27 inch Sony Trinitron on 240p with a dualshock3 connected via bluetooth. Just spent the whole memorial day weekend playing 40 hours still on disc 2. IT IS THE BEST GAME EVER
Man those some crazy hoops you jumpin through just to play my guy
Jesus as he was talking about the Aeris scene and music was playing, my eyes started to get teary eyed... This game is really something special...
Music is like soul for the body . And ff7 has Perfect soundtrack
More like food for the soul.
To bad smash only has 2 of it's songs
Tbh ff7 8 and 9 all have perfect soundtracks.
theres nothing like ff7 music
cheers, i sleep everyday listening the full ost, no joke(relaxed version)

How could ya understand him🤷

One of the best games of all time!!!
And the god of all jrpgs
The Music = THE BEST
Favorite RPG of all time. Thank you to everyone who worked on it for bringing it to life.
FF VII is a masterpiece, period.

A game that means a lot for me. Thank you so much for create it.

14:19 Meanwhile the Remake constantly shows Sephiroth even from the beginning lol

What about inside FF7 Remake ?
In 2026
*3026... not 3026 A.D., 3026 the next era of human history.
As Nomura said, after release of Kingdom Hearts 3, they’ll focus FFVII Remake
It's empty

@2:59 Having actually visited the Square Enix office in Tokyo I am trying so hard to find this legendary "Shinra" Warship Building.
From just looking at the viewership numbers vs the other inside FF vids tells it all.
Final Fantasy VIII please when you can. ありがとうございます。
Every song on this game it's just magical
This was fascinating to listen to, thank you
I started playing this in anticipation for the remake about a month ago.
Im onto disc 2, that a game!
Still holds up well 23 years later
the music holds a lot of good memories for me. simple care free times.
Don't forget to show some love to final fantasy viii please. Bring it to PS4. Thank you Kupo!
They lost it
They would have to redo the whole game if they wanted to port it because they lost it
I come from the future and it's done
Also, I love the fact final fantasies have a meaningful beautiful story. We all know Aerith's the real VIP in this one. 🌻🌺🌼💐🌸
No she's not
I just wanna be alive when ff7 remake released it will calm my soul to heaven🥺
RIP
The aerith scene shocked me to my core, I cried so much.
That Sephiroth theme, man uff, very emotional. Got my copy reserved, can't wait to see the outcome! ^_^
My favorite game ever.
It would be so cool to see something similar about the making of the FFVII REMAKE
It will be released the day before you die, so you go crazy.
WOW THNXS A LOT!
THEY ARE STRUGGLING SO HARD TO NOT MAKE ANY SPOILER FOR PEOPLE FOR A GAME RELEASED 22 YEARS AGO AND YOU DISRESPECTFUL THEM SO HARD BY ACTUALLY SHOWING CUTSCENEEEES OMGGG
nice documentary fam 10/10
They could at least got Noumora for a short interview on this.
Because he’s probably incredibly busy hopefully. But even a snippet is nice :)
jlwest23 I think they keep Nomura locked in a padded room lol
nomura has no idea what ff7 is actually about or what kind of game it even is so no thanks

- Cyberpunk is a genre of more futuristic science fiction focused on the effects of computer, robotic, and transhuman technology on our lives, as well as how the dominance of private capital and megacorporations that emerged in the 1980s will lead to a dystopia of corporate control of the government and vast income inequality. Think "Blade Runner" and "Ghost in the Shell," and in FF7 things like all the robots, Barret's cyborg arm, the neon techno-junkyard of the Midgar slums, the extreme social stratification (in this case literally), and of course just everything about Shinra in general.
I hope that clears things up a little bit, but like I said that's just a quick and simple explanation. If you're curious, just googling the different terms (both regular and image search) will give you a pretty good feel for them, but don't do it unless you've got some time to kill, because there's a rabbit hole of all sorts of other genres with names like "raygun gothic" and "cassette futurism" you might get sucked into (but it's worth it, it's really interesting & creative stuff).
Just curious, doesn't anyone try to imagine Midgar City, sector-by-sector? I never have, but I think it would be cool to a more comprehensive understanding of all the locations.
