13 min FF7 Remake commercial. A 7 min cut of it actually aired on TV in Japan.
Those were the good times!
I still had the original Japanese FFVII boxed set as seen in the video in sealed condition.
I remembered being so excited that I even played the disc 1 alpha/beta version that somehow leaked to the public. Had to buy a small JPN-ENG dictionary to translate the key wordings.
Then of course when it was released I played the Japanese version, then the English version. And getting the strategy guide books etc and replay the game from beginning as wanted to find ALL the hidden locations/weapons etc.
Still remembered trying to defeat the ruby weapon in the desert with the battle itself lasting 2 to 4 hrs(!!) and yet still lost the fight. Obviously I didn't use the fighting strategies as suggested in the guide books as I wanted to try with my own effort/strategy back then.
This is the first game that had deep emotional scenes that almost make me cry (or maybe I did cry?).
Back to the remake version, it looks like the preorder game is only for the Midgar portion? I hope it isn't so, else that means getting the complete game will cost hundreds of dollars.
