I'm 35 years old, playing FF7 for the first time. I'm using my pspgo on my pspgo cradle connected via component cables to a 27 inch Sony Trinitron on 240p with a dualshock3 connected via bluetooth. Just spent the whole memorial day weekend playing 40 hours still on disc 2. IT IS THE BEST GAME EVER
The best Final Fantasy they have ever made. The characters, the story, the music, the settings, the gameplay...it was just soooo special. It really touched the soul and heart of gamers everywhere and I try to replay it as often as I can. When I'm 70 I will still be telling myself, "Got to put another play file on it, might be the final chance I get and I need to relive it!" lol ^^
I can't even fathom what it must feel like to be Art Director of a game at the age of 25 and then looking back at what a legacy you've managed to help create nearly two decades later
When he talked about the emotions, the scene. I could vividly remember the feelings I had around that time, all the pain the anger, the shock, the passion and the music! Everything spot on perfect.
I was actually happy, I didn't have to deal with her forcing herself into the party anymore like she forced herself onto Cloud when they first met after he tried sneaking out and leaving her. Hopefully the Remake makes that scene more impactful without having to add an unnecessary and temporary romance.
Final fantasy VII is easily one of my favorite games of all time. I end up replaying it every couple of years and I always enjoy it. It just so easy to fall in to, I actually happen to be replaying it again right now on an emulator on PS Vita. Squaresoft has been in a sharp decline since they merged with Enix I just don’t think they understand what made their classic games so good. It’s sad but at least we have the first 10 final fantasys to play indefinitely
20:27 I always mention this. how someone could be playing Super Smash or Dissidia and have Cloud or Whoever be their favorite character, and then discover that there’s an entire game(s) based on this character you just knew about from a random game. I bet it would feel amazing finding this out.
Loving the inside retrospective by the devs. It's awesome how they're careful not to spoil anything, even if the major plot points are beyond spoiled at this point in time. They're talking as if the game was just developed.
To any dev that might read this. Uh thank you.Thanks for everything. I love every bit of FF VII. It's crazy story, it's spin-offs. All of it. Thank you.
Thank you for making and sharing this video! To this day, Final Fantasy VII is my favourite game and just thinking about it brings a smile to my face. I remember talking about it at school all day and rushing home to play it. What a great summer that was. To the developers, artists, composers, and all involved: thanks for creating this masterpiece.
Its so nostalgic, i swear it almost feels like it made me live and feel those iconic moments and emotions all over again. Tho i have an imense respect for everyone involved in this, i wo7ld like to see Nomura in it, also hopefully this is a hint that the remake is closer than we expect.
Thanks to all you from the development team for this game and the memories it brought. It really does stand out from the rest, in my opinion. I always thought that the game being not as beautiful (opposed to later games I mean) - simply because it was one of the first games in 3D, along with the dialogs in text instead of being spoken, etc. was part of what made this game great. This way my own mind made up for the imperfections. Which made the game perfect! Like reading a good book instead of seeing the movie.
13:18 "Well the girls are going to like Sephiroth after this" I love how true that is because I still squee whenever Sephiroth shows up on screen. How is he still so hot?? 😣💕
Still the best game ever made I had it on my ps1... On my ps3.... Ps4.... And now on my Xbox 1 x Still love this game so much With the best soundtracks ever made ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That was very interesting, I guess Midgar’s theme being named “Under the Rotting Pizza” is also a reference to that being the inspiration for the look of it too.
watched the whole thing crying slowly... still by far one of the best game of all time. 22 years later Aeris's deatrh still breaks my soul... the world needs more games like that !
Nice video, I like that even 22 years later, the devs are respectful to fans about spoilers. I'm really glad SE took back the reigns from CyberConnect2, because now SE can do it like they should have in the first place, and now CyberConnect2 is working on a Dragon Ball Z open world RPG.
Por siempre amaré este juego con cada fibra de mi ser, su música, personajes, historia, cada una me atrapó y enamoró de principio a fin, ff7 es un juego muy especial y único y siempre lo llevaré en mi corazón hasta el último de mis días
Once the final part of the remake is released, I hope they have a huge documentary that details all of the inner meetings and stuff about how the remake came to be and its progress throughout the many years it'll take to complete the game.
ElFamoso Darkyaya They lost source code of FFVII, VIII and Kingdom Hearts xD, but they ported the original FFVII game to PC with a no-final version of PSX code using reverse engineering and fixing or completing the code, they ported then the game to Android and then to PS4 and now to Xbox and Switch, and the same for Kingdom Heart Final Mix for PS3 :(, but for some reason...they didn't use reverse engineering with FFVIII ☹️, and they ignored the recent anniversary too...
13:18 Kitase's comment was so weird and funny, but also so true! 😂 Even though he had basically gone mad during that scene, he was bold enough to say "Well, the girls are going to like Sephiroth after this"! I wonder if he meant that girls will like him, no matter what he does, or he thinks girls would be self-aware while crushing over Sephiroth. 🤔
THEY ARE STRUGGLING SO HARD TO NOT MAKE ANY SPOILER FOR PEOPLE FOR A GAME RELEASED 22 YEARS AGO AND YOU DISRESPECTFUL THEM SO HARD BY ACTUALLY SHOWING CUTSCENEEEES OMGGG nice documentary fam 10/10
@11:00 that is one of the peculiar things about Final Fantasy 7 it was a very in-between moment between 2D and 3D and even playing through, its easy to see how they married the two
I'm happy to know that they love the Snowboarding and Submarine Mini Games. Hopefully that means they will be in the Remake. What worries me though is that Kitase limited his thought to people liking the game just because of the Characters. The characters were only part of the reason.
Eric Holy Sword compare the plot of ff7 and how the characters act to how hes portrayed them in any shit show this clown has been in charge of (kh, advent children) and its obvious he has no fucking clue. this is a guy that if he was in any other profession hed be shitcanned for incompetence and gross misuse of company resources. this is a guy whos barely qualified to give handjobs out in the backalleys of tokyo, not be in charge of a remake of one of the most beloved games of all time. period
OG: "So rather than having him there from the beginning like a normal character, he doesn't even show up in the first part of the game, but he's someone whose reputation precedes him." Remake: "Haha Sephiroth go brrrrr"
Why is there a flashing black ESRB rating screen throughout the video? Kind of sketchy. 19:40 is the one I verified but I saw at least two more before that.
Its a shame they didn't bring up the music. Uematsu is a genius and his music improved this game so much that you can't even imagine a different ost.
Uematsu was in good health back then I think.
The music was literally everything. It's the reason I actually started playing piano!
I'm 35 years old, playing FF7 for the first time. I'm using my pspgo on my pspgo cradle connected via component cables to a 27 inch Sony Trinitron on 240p with a dualshock3 connected via bluetooth. Just spent the whole memorial day weekend playing 40 hours still on disc 2. IT IS THE BEST GAME EVER
Man those some crazy hoops you jumpin through just to play my guy
Jesus as he was talking about the Aeris scene and music was playing, my eyes started to get teary eyed... This game is really something special...
Music is like soul for the body . And ff7 has Perfect soundtrack
More like food for the soul.
To bad smash only has 2 of it's songs
Tbh ff7 8 and 9 all have perfect soundtracks.
theres nothing like ff7 music
cheers, i sleep everyday listening the full ost, no joke(relaxed version)
The best Final Fantasy they have ever made. The characters, the story, the music, the settings, the gameplay...it was just soooo special.

Almost had a heart attack when the notification for this popped up...
I totally agree
Ikr! Finally, this is the first official step towards the remake. LETS MOSEY BOYS
How could ya understand him🤷
@@frankfitzler1272 The video has square enix made captions. You just have to turn them on.
@@Ferdoe thank you😁 I highly appreciate it 😁
14:19 Meanwhile the Remake constantly shows Sephiroth even from the beginning lol
I can't even fathom what it must feel like to be Art Director of a game at the age of 25 and then looking back at what a legacy you've managed to help create nearly two decades later
Thank you everyone in this production team that made a lot of great childhood memories!!
Best game ever! Everybody that worked on it made history! I can't wait for the remake!
One of the best games of all time!!!
And the god of all jrpgs
The Music = THE BEST
FF VII is a masterpiece, period.
When he talked about the emotions, the scene. I could vividly remember the feelings I had around that time, all the pain the anger, the shock, the passion and the music! Everything spot on perfect.
Blew my ten year old mind
I was actually happy, I didn't have to deal with her forcing herself into the party anymore like she forced herself onto Cloud when they first met after he tried sneaking out and leaving her. Hopefully the Remake makes that scene more impactful without having to add an unnecessary and temporary romance.

Favorite RPG of all time. Thank you to everyone who worked on it for bringing it to life.
the whole New York concept mentioned actually went on to become Parasite Eve instead
Yep
20:27 I always mention this. how someone could be playing Super Smash or Dissidia and have Cloud or Whoever be their favorite character, and then discover that there’s an entire game(s) based on this character you just knew about from a random game. I bet it would feel amazing finding this out.
It will always be the greatest game of all time. The game that changed everything.
Of course, zelda ocarina is amaizing
@@leonidassv7596 fuck off troll
Man the sounds bring back memory and sadness.

Ashezth there is no such thing as ff7 spin-offs. Crisis core and advent children weren't spin offs
Thank you for making and sharing this video! To this day, Final Fantasy VII is my favourite game and just thinking about it brings a smile to my face. I remember talking about it at school all day and rushing home to play it. What a great summer that was. To the developers, artists, composers, and all involved: thanks for creating this masterpiece.
Sounds like fun....the *PS1* era really is something.
This was fascinating to listen to, thank you
Its so nostalgic, i swear it almost feels like it made me live and feel those iconic moments and emotions all over again.
Tho i have an imense respect for everyone involved in this, i wo7ld like to see Nomura in it, also hopefully this is a hint that the remake is closer than we expect.
A game that means a lot for me. Thank you so much for create it.
I love this video, thanks for sharing this.
WOW THNXS A LOT!

The best! Thank you.
Arigato for this video !!
I started playing this in anticipation for the remake about a month ago.
Im onto disc 2, that a game!
Still holds up well 23 years later
Every song on this game it's just magical
13:18 "Well the girls are going to like Sephiroth after this" I love how true that is because I still squee whenever Sephiroth shows up on screen. How is he still so hot?? 😣💕
Este es mi juego favorito. Genial video!!
From just looking at the viewership numbers vs the other inside FF vids tells it all.
the music holds a lot of good memories for me. simple care free times.
FF7 will always be the best one no matter how much people criticize it.
@2:59 Having actually visited the Square Enix office in Tokyo I am trying so hard to find this legendary "Shinra" Warship Building.
The aerith scene shocked me to my core, I cried so much.
I grow up with the most AMAZING video game and now I'm 24.
I hope someday I can play Remake.
Still the best game ever made
I had it on my ps1... On my ps3.... Ps4.... And now on my Xbox 1 x
Still love this game so much
With the best soundtracks ever made ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That was very interesting, I guess Midgar’s theme being named “Under the Rotting Pizza” is also a reference to that being the inspiration for the look of it too.
Awesome Final Fantasy VII Video.
My favorite game ever.
watched the whole thing crying slowly... still by far one of the best game of all time. 22 years later Aeris's deatrh still breaks my soul... the world needs more games like that !
Makes me want to replay it
Final Fantasy VIII please when you can. ありがとうございます。
What about inside FF7 Remake ?
In 2026
*3026... not 3026 A.D., 3026 the next era of human history.
As Nomura said, after release of Kingdom Hearts 3, they’ll focus FFVII Remake
It's empty
Final fantasy what-make?
Cuánta nostalgia viendo estas imágenes!
That Sephiroth theme, man uff, very emotional. Got my copy reserved, can't wait to see the outcome! ^_^
Thank you
Good video, best game I've played 😊
I got excited for a second...
It would be so cool to see something similar about the making of the FFVII REMAKE
It will be released the day before you die, so you go crazy.
Also, I love the fact final fantasies have a meaningful beautiful story. We all know Aerith's the real VIP in this one. 🌻🌺🌼💐🌸
No she's not
Le meilleur des FF , MERCI Square Enix
El mejor juego de la historia. Que salga pronto el remake por favor!.
Una obra maestra.
it's happening !!!!
thanks for the sub ita!
I just wanna be alive when ff7 remake released it will calm my soul to heaven🥺
RIP
3:00 was the most impressive part for me. Couldn't find that building on google though.
Thx for this game i love u for it❤❤❤❤
Don't forget to show some love to final fantasy viii please. Bring it to PS4. Thank you Kupo!
They lost it
They would have to redo the whole game if they wanted to port it because they lost it
I come from the future and it's done
Interesting insight, particularly that Midgar’s sectors were inspired by pizza.
Nice video, I like that even 22 years later, the devs are respectful to fans about spoilers. I'm really glad SE took back the reigns from CyberConnect2, because now SE can do it like they should have in the first place, and now CyberConnect2 is working on a Dragon Ball Z open world RPG.
Sencillamente la mayor obra maestra del arte en el siglo XX. La revolución en los videojuegos y la influencia en toda una generación.
Por siempre amaré este juego con cada fibra de mi ser, su música, personajes, historia, cada una me atrapó y enamoró de principio a fin, ff7 es un juego muy especial y único y siempre lo llevaré en mi corazón hasta el último de mis días
I need more of those high res renders :D
My favourite game since I first play it at Japanese, I don't understand anything, but I felt - this is something special...
Merveilleux.
Timeless
Once the final part of the remake is released, I hope they have a huge documentary that details all of the inner meetings and stuff about how the remake came to be and its progress throughout the many years it'll take to complete the game.
Amor eterno a Final Fantasy vll¡¡¡ sólo espero que saquen el ramake luego y que siga siendo el mejor juego de todos los tiempos.
I played it in 1998... still like it.
Inside Final Fantasy VIII is now offline 😣. Lost in time...
I heard they lost the source code, or something like that
ElFamoso Darkyaya They lost source code of FFVII, VIII and Kingdom Hearts xD, but they ported the original FFVII game to PC with a no-final version of PSX code using reverse engineering and fixing or completing the code, they ported then the game to Android and then to PS4 and now to Xbox and Switch, and the same for Kingdom Heart Final Mix for PS3 :(, but for some reason...they didn't use reverse engineering with FFVIII ☹️, and they ignored the recent anniversary too...
@@arkfantasy i heard they lost some of 9 but it was only the art backgrounds
@@Ferdoe Yes, that's why the backgrounds renders are not remastered on Android and new versiones :P, Only 3D Models are better...and Hud, etc.
It's a shame too, I know alot of people apparently don't like 8 but it's one of my favorites, right up there with 7 and 9.
13:18 Kitase's comment was so weird and funny, but also so true! 😂 Even though he had basically gone mad during that scene, he was bold enough to say "Well, the girls are going to like Sephiroth after this"! I wonder if he meant that girls will like him, no matter what he does, or he thinks girls would be self-aware while crushing over Sephiroth. 🤔
no it's because he is showing strength and getting what he wants. girls like a successful man
THEY ARE STRUGGLING SO HARD TO NOT MAKE ANY SPOILER FOR PEOPLE FOR A GAME RELEASED 22 YEARS AGO AND YOU DISRESPECTFUL THEM SO HARD BY ACTUALLY SHOWING CUTSCENEEEES OMGGG
nice documentary fam 10/10
BEST GAME EVER
Best game ever. The game that changed my life.
I just hope the remake will be up to the standard
It'd better be...
It will not
@11:00
that is one of the peculiar things about Final Fantasy 7
it was a very in-between moment
between 2D and 3D
and even playing through, its easy to see how they married the two
Hola resien me suscribi amo final fantasy! ! 😄😃😍😘
I'm happy to know that they love the Snowboarding and Submarine Mini Games. Hopefully that means they will be in the Remake.
What worries me though is that Kitase limited his thought to people liking the game just because of the Characters. The characters were only part of the reason.
I genuinely feel FFVII had some of the best mini-games of the series by far.
They could at least got Noumora for a short interview on this.
Because he’s probably incredibly busy hopefully. But even a snippet is nice :)
jlwest23 I think they keep Nomura locked in a padded room lol
nomura has no idea what ff7 is actually about or what kind of game it even is so no thanks
hugenignog maybe gameplay wise somewhat but he did create some backstories and the designs for characters
Eric Holy Sword compare the plot of ff7 and how the characters act to how hes portrayed them in any shit show this clown has been in charge of (kh, advent children) and its obvious he has no fucking clue. this is a guy that if he was in any other profession hed be shitcanned for incompetence and gross misuse of company resources. this is a guy whos barely qualified to give handjobs out in the backalleys of tokyo, not be in charge of a remake of one of the most beloved games of all time. period
Second! and geek-proud of it!
Darn, I'm actually third....
Best game ever made! Thank you sakaguchi, nomura, kitase, nojima and nobuo.
❤️
This was posted just one day shy of being 1 year prior to the remake's release.
I love this game but please port FF8 as well
Brividi
Que bonito la verdad, con que cariño se nota que hacían los juegos antes impresionante... los de ahora no tiene nada que ver que lastima...
13:22 "The girls are going to like Sephiroth after this" lmao
OG: "So rather than having him there from the beginning like a normal character, he doesn't even show up in the first part of the game, but he's someone whose reputation precedes him."
Remake: "Haha Sephiroth go brrrrr"
Make Final Fantasy great again!
Final Fantasy VII remake launching in 2050!!!
Why is there a flashing black ESRB rating screen throughout the video? Kind of sketchy. 19:40 is the one I verified but I saw at least two more before that.
Taken from previously made videos/commercials likely
FFVII ❤️
When that Cid Theme come on💪
Their getting ready for Final Fantasy VII remake!
Hope it releases this year because i bought FFVII for the switch and i love it (still not better than FFVI)
Their what?
Yoshinori Kitase: “Well, the girls are going to like Sephiroth after this.”
Me: “You got that right!!! All hail Sephiroth!!!” 😍😍😍😍
