Before this point in the game it was relatively light on CG; outside of Chapter 1 all we had was that short clip of the plate fall.
You're walking around the Shinra Tower, making your way through a tour, and then the game suddenly transitions into a full-blown CG cinematic
in fact this shot is so beautiful I'm going to post it two more times
You get to see the world from 2000-ish years ago (well, an interpretation of it, anyway), a quick glimpse of a few summons, and even a fast-forwarded construction of Midgar
and then
Sephiroth/Jenova have the party see a vision of the destruction of Midgar (and, to Cloud, the death of his friends)
And you can see every damn strand of hair and like every single pore on their faces
It's a very well-paced, exciting, and gorgeous cutscene that wasn't even part of any promo material and tbh I think I've watched it over 50 times by now
I hope future parts have more incredible cinematics like this
Thank u for ur time
