Final Fantasy VII Trailer

[@LuisRosa72]

Back in 1997 I was working at Electronics Boutique (EB Games) and we played this trailer constantly to hype the game and boost pre-sales. Imagine my disappointment when I played through the game and this amazing music track was nowhere to be found. By now I imagine most people have found it, but for those still looking, the song is called Final Encounter, composed by Steve Baker. Thanks Google.

[@RyoShiki64]

It's on iTunes right now - the song, I mean...

[@matheuscruz8574]

You were disappointed because some generic thriller music didn't make it into the game?

[@nicky8010]

merci pour les informations, moi aussi déçu quelle ne soit pas dans le jeu .

[@SephirothWaifu]

@@matheuscruz8574 Petty and superficial is all I have to say. Best popular game ever, and for me the best! Why there is so much franchise for it clearly!

[@Deathbringer99699]

BEST TRAILER EVER FOR A VIDEO GAME! Sir i kindly beg you NOT TO DELETE THIS EVER!

[@errolflynn7153]

INCREDIBLE trailer. A Masterpiece in and of itself.

[@RuSosan]

First ever trailer of any game/movie I saw from a demo-disc for PS1. Still chills me to the bone in a good way today... O.o

[@ZacklFair]

Do you know which Demo Disc that was exactly? I do remember that i had it, german language.

[@MagusX1]

I donot think youra psycho, FFVII has had a profound effect on me as well. That game is a masterpiece and a landmark in gaming and storytelling. FFVII is still a fantastic game, and will be remembered as one of the best ever... Thanks for posting this.

[@AdderApple]

"might be the greatest game ever made" - damn straight

[@mizzprincipessa]

This is my absolute favorite game ever. Such an awesome story line, amazing music and amazing characters!

[@YogiBear13]

hard to believe it has been 10 years, I still remember parts of it like it were yesterday. One of the greatest games ever.

[@badbatch78]

Been searching for this trailer for years. Masterpiece!

[@StephenPursey]

Badbatch It took you years to figure out how to type "Final Fantasy 7 Trailer" into youtube?

[@badbatch78]

Stephen Pursey *clap clap* Take a bow.

[@JoTheVeteran]

Feels like a million years since I've last seen that trailer in a PS1 demo disc. It remains just amazing! Notice how the music theme here plays nowhere else in the actual game, and it's just so epic and awesome. This shows how much effort they used to put into making a trailer. They just don't do that anymore.

[@GeneralMontague]

It's always a good thing when you can replay a game 14 years later and find it's actually better than you remember it

[@antihermes]

Just finished this masterpiece again last night. It had been 5 years or so since I played through it last. I have been with my girlfriend for over 2 years now and that was the first time that she has seen me cry.

[@PunPuniChu]

+1 God, I was looking for this trailer EVERYWHERE. It gave me chills back then and it still does.

[@ryan332007]

Final Fantasy VII still remains to be one of my favorite RPG. It's what got me into the genre, even into playing video games. My brother and I when we were little, spent our entire summer playing this. The next best FF game would be FFX. I mastered the game, levelled everyone up, spent over 300 hours of my life into that game. However, if you've played Morrowind, Oblivion, and Fallout3, you'll find it difficult to get into. Still, it's a game every RPG fan should play

[@micvrom]

Finally I have found this video and wonderful guiding music. I used to play the demo disc over and over just to see this vid ;) best game ever made.

[@AngelOfIron]

Yeah, man. Those visuals with that music? How could you not fall in love with this game at first sight?

[@00Danny00]

This still gives me goosebumps

[@littlejoeyr]

I remember when i was just a child, about 5-7 and i youst to watch my step-dad play this. I never could play it as i could not understand how it worked, but i would love watching. This game always stuck in my head for years. One day, when i was about 17, just left school and had nothing to do decided to download a game, but which? this popped up, glad it did, best emotional attachment of my life. see adults, even us teens who have seen amazing graphics can appreciate THE best game ever!

[@kaslunato]

I wanted to thank to the guy, who posted this video, i have been searching for it everywhere. It sounds weird, but watchning this video, that showed me this great game changed my life in many ways. Final fantasy is not only game, i know i sound like some psycho but i think it shaped my character a lot, the morals, that are hidden in those deep stories are really helping me to see life more clearly now. Laugh at me as you wish, but i am sure that there are also many who will understand me.

[@edUnbrained]

the one and only.. still got my copy that i bought in 97 and it is truly the only game i can never get tired of!

[@Bahamut-bj3bh]

Imagine watching this trailer in 1996

[@gazojka]

The game of my childhood... perfect story and perfect gameplay, for that time ofc... I will never forget the good old times ...

[@Turlute2006]

This trailer is the best one ever made. How much I waited for the game, after having seen it!

[@Joetoep]

I almos cried when i saw this trailer. What a nostalgic feeling i got! This was a trailer on a PS1 demo disc. I still have that disc because its precious to me.

[@xiro298]

I remember watching this in Blockbuster one time and it was what made me rent it whenever I was a little kid. God, I'm glad it did too.

[@MrBergstrom]

I can still remember getting this trailer free with the offical playstation magazine and being completly blown away by the trailer. A few days later I got the game and my entire perspective on games changed forever. Genius.

[@WolfHeathen]

It's on the album "The Hollywood Series - Dangerous Games".

[@Walsh213]

Me too. I remember watching this trailer a hundred times. Those were the days. Gaming will never be the same.

[@rparvatikar]

Final Fantasy 7 can never be topped. It has the most spin offs. They truly captured lightning in a bottle.

[@yatse5328]

The first 3D game I ever owned was this. Man I love this game so much. I got so happy when my favorite RPG series went 3D. And when I say Cloud casting the Lightning magic for the first time, I was amazed, I could not belive my eyes!. Thats when lightning became element. If only I could relive those times. ^.^

[@ShaneTheOutlaw]

I have been playing this game frequently for 10 years now and it never gets old. If that isn't a sign of being the greatest game of all time I don't know what is.

[@kapsi]

I watched this a million times on PSX. The music is perfect.

[@yatse5328]

Awsome video, great music, fun gameplay, and cool movie cuts. One of the best games ever made in my opinion.

[@rjwillcox]

WOW, this takes me back. I bought this game on the strength of this trailer. Turned about to be my best game ever. Great upload, ganna make this a favourite.

[@plutoniumseller]

I remember how I watched it on a Playstation-demo-cd. I was just amazed and couldn't wait to get it.

[@spidersim]

the greatest role playing game ever made.....hours and hours and hours and hours of game play with a fantastic soundtrack thrown in..... if they ever remade this for the PS3,it would blow every other game into space.....and beyond

[@purplecow420]

I remember borrowing this from my friend not too long after it first came out, Never actually got to beat it. I'm defiantly going to go buy this game and finish it. Such an awesome game.

[@Joorum]

The first reaction was of cource "WOAH!". The part where the camera passes the Shin-Ra building and shows the entire upper-Midgar... perfection.

[@Xyru]

Brilliant, have seen this for 15 years, one more task crossed from my list.

[@cheekymusician]

I think you just hit the nail on the head. After thinking about it, I can agree with you wholeheartedly. FFVII was the first game that was more like an experience than just a game. It was the first game where I became emotionally invested in the characters and cared about their stories. Still my favorite game.

[@renos24]

this game went out in 1997 , if you visit gamespot you will notice a very high rate because at its age was trully innovating this IS one the best games ever made and this video brings so many feelings . "Never before have technology, playability, and narrative combined as well as in Final Fantasy VII." 9.5 suberb

[@soulseekerx]

it is the pinnacle of rpgs. epic story, epic music, excellent gameplay, truly awesome... no one beats sephiroth to the day

[@Turlute2006]

Maybe the best trailer ever... How much I waited for the game after looking at that trailer!

[@ravenfirepheonix]

I still get goose pimples when I see this. Forget Star Wars, Final Fantasy VII is the most epic story ever made!

[@Chipiliro613]

Man, I get this whole 'meaning of life' feeling when I watch this trailer...

[@PepeNacho82]

Final Fantasy 7 is one of the best videogames ever, at the time that was released (1997) became the standart of future RPGs. Nothing before even came close. The generation that lived this, knows what I´m talking about..

[@grimwallace]

i just started playing this on the pc again for the first time since god knows when. it is really difficult to get over how good this game is.

[@scmkar]

Goosebumps! I don't know how many times I watched this trailer on a demo cd I had back in the day. I bougt FFVII right when it came out and I knew nothing about RPGs at that time. All in all I have played it about 150 hours, found all the characters, I leveled up every one to the max, etc - the only thing I didn't make was to get a golden chocobo :-D I downloaded the game from the PSNStore and I'm playing it again on my PSP now...so many memories - and I'm not even a video game nerd.. :-)

[@steveoh190]

Final Encounter by Steven Baker

[@DalekKaan101]

I bought this when it very first came out (i was 11) is still my favorite game and im 26 now :D

[@DannyRydstrom]

I still have this game and I had an Xbox for the last 3 years.

[@EnricoZulu]

Played this game 2 years ago ....for the 10th time .....for more than 60 hours ....god its EPIC.

[@jace101]

The game (and trailer) that turned gaming for me into more then just something to play with as a kid. I still have the PS1 demo disc where I first saw this trailer and my copy of FFVII.

[@orkmaster1234]

best final fantasy game EVER made in video game history dosent matter if they gonna remake this game or not the original will always be the best.

[@yatse5328]

Final Fantasy VII did come out to PC long ago, try to look for it online if you cant find it on any store.

[@flips220]

Can't wait for this to come out!!! Looks cool!!!!

[@Angryjon]

the site screws up sometimes. If that does not work, do a advanced search and search by CD code. The CD which contains this song is: KPM 264. Also, you can download the song STRAIGHT OUT THIS KZbin VIDEO with I think is called "youtube downloader", google it.

[@YogiBear13]

5 stars, I don't know if a game, and story will ever be this good again *sigh* I miss the good old days.

[@andyroo619]

now this brings back memory's, great post man!

[@MyMoonlight14]

I remember when I used to play this with my dad :'D.. i was.. what 7 years old?? Still think this is one of the best games ever! and such an amazing soundtrack *o*

[@dinkthroughball]

After about a 10 year gap and an undying love for this game I started playing again about 1 month ago and it's still fucking incredible. Graphics may age but good games don't.

[@fre901108]

Played it maybe 10 years ago, havnt found a game this awesome since

[@Jeffieboi]

I remember when the commercial aired for this game before it came out, and I was totally blown away. Graphics like that had never been seen before. Once I saw the preview, I knew I wanted that game. I had never played an FF before except FFL3 on gameboy, and I didn't get the concept of an RPG at the time. When I played Mario RPG I finally figured it out. Then after I started playing FF7, I realized that even though the graphics were amazing, they were nothing compared to the story. Flawless game

[@sizzleburizzle5884]

I remember being a kid and using this trailer to pitch to my mum how awesome FF7 was and why she should buy it for me outside of typical birthday/Christmas present time. It didn't work - I had to wait - but she agreed the trailer was awesome! :D

[@Joetoep]

Nostalgic feeling got my crying when i saw this trailer. This trailer is burned into my memories. I stil have the demodisc where this trailer is on.

[@ZacklFair]

i just recently thought about this trailer. i remember seeing it on some cd from some PS1 magazine in germany. Unreal.

[@1alexmthemurraynator]

I love this game, i love the film, and i love the music in this game trailer, i never would of got the game if it weren't for this trailer.

[@killeroz999]

Perfect Music, Perfect gameplay, Breathe taking story line, This was my childhood, All of the final fantasys back in the day were the greatest, especially this game which is my favorite game. Whatever happened to good JRPG's?

[@CowJedi]

i used to watch this on the playstation demo disc all the time

[@JohnFrusciante4ever]

Final Fantasy rocks the story ist so amazing, the music also. I love this game, in real

[@TheDeadTexan]

Don't know where the guy who uploaded got it, but this video along with all the US commercials, and interviews with the creators were on a collector's video on vhs when the game came out. I have no idea where I got it from back then, but it's a great thing to pop in every now and then to bring the memories back.

[@sirkevx]

thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! you have no idea how much you've helped me out... if i can get it - i'll sort you a copy!

[@man34dog56]

when i was 6 yr old my brother got this games and show it to me and this is goin to be the best games ever so i watched him play it and i i was amazing to it i wanna to play it as well in 1998 it was rate to 5 out of 5 star cause the story was big.

[@elferoz777]

god! I used to play this when I was 15 until I could not see stright. needless to say i now wear glasses. one of the best games ever!!

[@CaBdosdos]

i remember watching the trailer for this game and my jaw dropping at the graphics.

[@Angryjon]

you can LISTEN to it at the APM music web site.

[@mortlockroo]

Just goes to show how incredible this game is, FFVII will be 15 years old in 2012 and many people still play this game today. I'm currently playing through it again (for about the 8th time). Thousands of people still play it, talk about it on forums and post and watch videos of it. Will MW3 still have this kind of publicity in 15 years time? I don't think so.

[@Ozumakuma]

remember seeing this trailer when it came out first and thinking wow that looks amazing

[@TheRmiBoys]

This game? one of the greatest impacts to my life.

[@DUCJAVI]

best game of all time period. even down to the soundtrack every part of this game is perfection.

[@Zooftastic]

The song is Stephen Baker's "The Final Encounter".

[@TheJeffWayne]

your trailer is very good i love the Game FFVII this is the best FF game that ever exist

[@PepeNacho82]

As in music history you have albums that shocked the world at some point like St. Pepper´s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Dark Side of the Moon, Back in Black, Nevermind, OK Computer, etc... Final Fantasy 7 in September of 1997 entered the elite of the best videogames ever and change the RPG forever

[@Floofaloo]

Because PlayStation will always hold a special place in our hearts.... 3 FF7 I only know two people who still play this, me, and my friend.

[@theholygiraffe1970]

This trailer is older than me.

[@RuSosan]

The music in this trailer is great.

[@Dacho_Shaki]

Funny that the music from the trailer was never used in the final game considering how much money went to marketing.

[@crystola99]

Im playing it for my first time in 2012 :D:D:D ITS AMAZING!

[@GtoTHEparathyroid]

@delta2ish all ps3's are ps1 backwards compatible but only the early phat models are ps2 backwards compatible

[@prettychiccswagg18]

who on here besides me is absolutely IN LOVE wit final fantasy VII.?! thumbs up if so.!!!

[@heerostrife]

Ive alway wondered where i could see this again cause i remember when it first came out they had some deal with pepsi and had this demo stand at the grocery store and i would play it everytime i went and probably annoyed my mother telling how much i wanted it for christmas lol great upload.

[@debos17debos]

still my favorite. I played this on my PS1 Console...

[@lnlmotorola]

Beyond the edge of reality lies a story of ultimate conquest. A story of war and friendship. A story of a love that can never be. And a hatred that always was. And now, the most anticipated epic adventure of the year... Will never come to a theater near you! FINAL FANTASY VII

[@Tiberius_Gol]

this proves how much gaming has changed in so little time

[@Lalaxbo]

Final Fantasy 7 is the greatest Final Fantasygame ever created ! :D

[@steveoh190]

Its called Final Encounter by Steven Baker but good luck getting your hands on it.

[@thevideomaker456]

I'm going to get this game on my ps3 form the play station store because i sold my ps1 but it is the same epic game that we all love.

[@steveoh190]

I've never played the game but I think this trailer is awesome, thanks for uploading it. Don't suppose anyone has found out where the music is from...

[@ElectronicRatings]

on a true scale from 1/10 i give this game 11/10 ...best game ever created by man...

[@DoctorBeardface]

WOW! Looks amazing! Can't wait for it to come out!
