If you’re played the original Final Fantasy 7, you probably remember its opening movie, showing Aerith, zooming out from her to show all of Midgar, before going right back into things with Cloud jumping off of a train, kicking the game into gear.
Square Enix have uploaded the opening movie of the upcoming remake, and the video strikes that balance perfectly as well.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be out exclusively for the PS4 on April 10.
All of that is recreated in this video, but with all the panache, added level of detail, and production values you would expect.
