[E3 2015] Exclusive video - Crowd reaction to Final Fantasy VII Remake at Sony Press Conference!!!

I feel u bruh I never thought I'd live to see it actually happen... I still couldn't believe in 2015 and I still have a hard time believing it even with it out already I can't wait for pt 2 i hate waiting but I'm glad they didn't rush it because pt.1 was amazing and ffvii still remains my all time favorite game period and has been since 97

[@odinsplaygrounds]

Possibly the most epic moment in E3.

[@renatoramos8834]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No.

[@CorrionReap]

Renato Ramos de Oliveira Correia yes actually but let's here what you think the most epic moment is?

[@odinsplaygrounds]

Probably some underwhelming Xbox announcement like State of Decay 2 being a "big reveal" fanboys has been horsebacking on since the announcement - until the buggy mess was released. Clearly no other games than FFVII remake had 10 years of teasing and anticipation, "fake offs"(meaning fake reveal as FFVII tech demo for PS3 and PS1 game on PS4) with absolutely no leaks prior to it's announcement.

[@renatoramos8834]

So far, the reveal of Zelda Twilight Princess was the most epic moment of E3.

[@Zauchi]

When I saw this trailer I was ecstatic... but then Shenmue 3 got shown and I was in shock (lol)... I personally preferred FF8 over FF7 but preferred Shenmue over both, so that's why it wins for me. Unbelievable conference that year, and after those games were shows I was expecting HL3... lol.

[@D-Kross]

Is it normal that after having finished the game twice now, that I still watch the reveal reactions and still feel like it's the first time I'm finding out its really happening?? 😊

[@xcaluhbration]

I would pay 100 bucks just to be brought there at that moment with all memory of what was going to be announced wiped from my mind.

[@douglaswilson2375]

[@tr4gik11]

Many won't understand what this meant, and for the lucky ones that did, this was one of the greats in gaming. Many people all ages, specially people that played this as kids and now grown people. For each the original came at different important point in their lives. For me it was a great rememberance of time spent with my brother as we both played our first RPG ever and our minds were simply blown away. So I cannot listen to FF prelude theme without shedding a tear.

[@NebLleb]

From what I've gathered, they actually foreshadow the divergences and plot differences between what we now know as the "Re trilogy" and VII classic: "It may bring joy, it may bring fear, but let us embrace whatever it brings". They knew damn well about the plot changes and decided to explicitly mention that fans will be divided. Now that's balls.

[@retrocny5625]

Going back and watching this, pretty much 3 years later....even with all the controversy surrounding the development..I still get goose bumps. This was completely unexpected. Maybe some people knew it was coming but I sure as hell didn't. I knew what it was from 0:20 onwards into the trailer. It looked awfully familar to Advent Children's portrayal of Midgar. Then the next shot with the girl at the sector 6 playground really drove me up the wall. Probably the biggest gaming-related announcement/reveal I've seen in my lifetime. Now that Square has taken production fully in-house, I have a lot of hope and expectations for this. Whenever it gets here. I'm hoping it's within the next couple of years...but we'll have to wait and see. When this game releases, it's gonna break the internet and the gaming industry lol. I mean this is a once in a generation type of game release.

[@Pouffly]

One year later, still the same feeling. Whenever I get back to watch this trailer, my heart is melting again by hearing those reactions, because those are genuine, full of joy, a fragment of remembrance that stood in the heart for 20 years. This game is what actually gave life to the Playstation era. We were all little children, barely understood the story back then, but we knew it has something magical inside, and gave us another meaning to life.

[@supersaiyaman11589]

i didn't realize that that the title remake had more than one meaning until years later and this is my second time playing threw the game i like the story in the game and the new things they added. i like the fact that it is not a one to one remake and that they are changing some things. SPOILER i like that part one was an expanded midgar. based on what they showed before the game released i had a feeling that might have bean the case and i was right.i did not say it but i sure thought it.
