Whenever that FF7 remake comes out i really hope they deliver on the scene with aerith's mother talking about her, thr camera cuts are just perfect especially when you unintentionally make it flow with the music, it also reminds me of some cutscenes in OoT where there were some really cinematic scenes with the camera that makes it especially good for these old systems
I got to this scene last night. It's amazing how much emotion they conveyed with very little. Just text and some soothing, reflective melodic music. That scene is from a game over 20 years old, with exaggerated character models and no voice acting and it still moved me over 10 years since i've seen it last.
Maybe it's also because i was a teenager the last time since i played it and had so much to experience and learn about the world, 10 years later i'm a parent and some of the themes of the game resonate with me even more.
Some of these cut scenes went over my head when i was younger but in that time since i last played this game, I've experienced love, heartbreak, loss, learned about governmental corruption, International crisis's, Terrorism and their motives and ideals, Global Warming and the environment...
When you have these experiences and knowledge, you have a bit of context, a bit of a reference point for the themes of the game and they strike a chord so well, better than most modern games with a AAA budget and production quality. Compare this to FFXV where i couldn't give the slightest crap about anything in the game or the characters because it was so in-cohesive, This game is a masterpiece.
It's a timeless classic.
