Part of me wants to wait, but this looks incredible. Can't wait to replay my favorite game ever.
Well, the first part of many.

Final Fantasy VII Demo Playthrough Leak [Update: Full game spoilers datamined]
- Thread starter Lifejumper
- Start date
Seems like there's a bunch of remixes of FF7's battle theme.
Looks quite a lot better than what I played of KH 3. Better looking models, more complex environmental geometry, more effects going on, more distinctive lighting

So you're comparing it with a pc version? What kind of silly logic is that.
so we get the demo intro leaked .. we get the full demo play through leaked .. and we get the trailer that plays at the end of the demo leaked ...
and yet SE haven't even acknowledged the existence of the demo .. let alone announce a public release date.
fucking wow.

I've only skimmed through the intro of the demo. Won't even check the rest. I refuse to see it. Just waiting for it to release to the public.
But yeh lol they might as well address the situation even via twitter and or release the damn thing already!!
On 1080p mode on ps4 pro (forcing it through ps4 pro os if you have a 4k tv) its almost 60fps locked.
Yup, his actor plays Wedge:

The voice cast for the Final Fantasy VII remake was revealed during Square Enix's E3 conference.
It's New Years. As others have pointed out, it's doubtful anyone's "in the office" so to say.
The wait will unfortunately endure.

Nice! I think it's a good fitYup, his actor plays Wedge:

Switch can't run it at a optimal level imo. At most maybe very low settings at 1080p.
Speaking as someone whose experience with Final Fantasy VII was my first experience with both JRPGs and the Final Fantasy series as a kid, the game does look absolutely incredible but the plot retcons have me worried already.
It's like Squeenix wants to play it as safe as possible by avoiding any controversy and gutting part of what made the game's plot so gutsy back during its release.
One change reminds me of the alterations Lucas made to A New Hope to avoid any moral ambiguity (like Han no longer shooting first).
Two issues I had:
Other than that it does look and sound amazing, and while I'm not someone who thinks FFVII's story is the holy grail of JRPGs like many fans do (well, kinda - it is my favourite JRPG along with IX lol), the alterations to the story, such as Sephiroth now being shown early, might ruin the excellent pacing and build-up that the original game's Midgar section had.

Two issues I had:
1. Them now framing it as Shinra's president who destroyed the first reactor is ridiculous. Post 9/11 world or not, having Avalanche, a radical environmentalist group, engage in direct action by destroying the reactor and then reflecting on their actions is something the game could've and should've explored in an age where FFVII's environmental message is more relevant than ever.
2. Cloud's response to Jesse in the first 5 minutes of the game when she asks about Tifa is a bit strange and has me worried that the game is going to start exploring Cloud's demons a bit too early before the game's even established his or Sephiroth's character.

I just can't play this demo...
I looked at the trailer with my girlfriend and almost started crying. I would say I don't easily tear up but this remake have been my fantasy (pun intended) even before that PS3 trailer. The game was simply a huge part of my early years playing video games and had an impact on me then that no game have had since.
While I have always wanted this there was always the fear of it being something completely else than what I would want and I have since many years ago lost the faith I had in squaresoft back then.
This intro however coupled with what I have seen from the game it's like seeing my own remake come to life and I will not risk damaging the experience of playing the first episode by downloading this demo.
I am glad for anyone feeling excited about playing it but for me it's back to waiting for the game. I already done so for 20+ years so a few months should not be a problem. 🤔😅

I'm with you, mostly, but I think it's worth pointing out that,
unless I'm misremembering, there was always something fishy with the bomb in the original, right? Like Jesse was surprised it was so damn big. Now, the straightfoward explanation for that (honestly, the one I've always had) is as simple as them being a bunch of amateur, careless people with a noble goal.
But that kinda lends itself well enough to a retcon or a reimagination I guess, in that it could have been an inside job like the plate later on.
While I'm quite dissapointed with this (as expected as it was), AVALANCHE was ultimately going to still bomb a place potentially killing innocent people (plus Shinra employees) and, despite the consequences of the bombing being ultimately Shinra's, they're still willing to go through the second bombing mission. The conflict is still there with the conversation outside the burning building, and Barret is full on "the end justifies the means" while Cloud, in feigning this badass persona, ultimately agrees with that, as do Jesse, Biggs and Wedge if they're still doing their terrorism later on. Still, dissapointing, yeah.
With regards to the second point, I overall agree again. I hope it's not a "Sephiroth is a demonic angel!"/"Sephiroth is Cloud's fated rival and has always been!" wankfest. Unfortunately, it seems they're channeling those things. Hopefully not to an insane degree and relatively well written.

Nope. This thing got leaked on Sony's end apparently and the demo hasn't even been publicly acknowledged by S-E.
I really want this now, but I guess the anniversary (the 31st) is too juicy of a day to release this. I hope they at least announce whatever date soon.
Have only skimmed over the videos (I'm weak), but I don't think there's a second part, for some reason. It apparently jumps from part 1 to 3, so there's a chunk missing.
Not accounting for whatever part 2's length is, the demo is, at minimum, 30 minutes long.
Ok thank you, is the "end cutscene" or w/e i've heard ppl talk about included in part 3 video?
Yeah, it's a pretty short trailer that doesn't really show much:
it's mostly what happens immediatly after the bombing mission. Shows some rather nice looking parts of Midgar too, many of which we had actually seen during 2015's PSX, so it's cool to compare them.
Thank you! Is this outro video in the same youtube channel as the other 2 parts or are they scattered?
obviously too much work but they should've copied the original ff7 demo and have a bunch of out-of-order stuff in it, like aerith in your party and summons if i recall correctly
I think in his comments for part 3 reason for no part 2 is because it's supposedly the E3 demo
I forgot how beautiful this game wasHuh....
Kh3 runs at 60 fps and also it looks drop dead gorgeous... ( wanna compare the mobility and level design too ? )
Man, love those strains of the "Main Theme of FFVII" melody integrated at 4:48.
Wait, is this officially confirmed? Would certainly be a great option to have.
My only problem with the change is how it's presented. They could have kept the fact more mysterious and played with it.
There is no retconning. This is a new continuity and has nothing to do with following original verbatim outside of following the overall plotbeats. If your entire scale is dependent on things being the exact same..id check out before the game even comes out if this is how the demo gets you.
What would Shinra gain from that? A setup to make people fear Avalanche?
