Great video that was hype! I still can't believe this is happening.

This is probably my second favorite reaction video after the GT one:

Same thought here. I'm one of those gamers who God knows why I skipped FF7 back then & focused on finishing the others in the series & among those, FF8 became my favorite one (followed by VI). & After that tech demo in 2005, I just decided to skip the original VII & just WAIT, conscious about the years it would take for the Remake to come. & that night of the conference when it hapened, I started yelling & clapping hysterically like never before. So yeah, if VII delivers properly, I do believe an 8 might happen. & why the fuck not all of them!

Well, it's better than 7. But I'm not complaining. I honestly think most if not all will be remade or remastered.

Really cool: How did you get this view count data?

On my game forum a person wanted to rank a bunch of E3 video views against each other, so I made a program to do that for him. It updates the view counts automatically every few minutes, and as a side effect records views over time for all the tracked videos. For this thread I just extracted the data from it.

I think the trailer was EPIC. Like the mood, music (jaws theme lol), voice over, dialogue, the teasing of the lifestream/playground/train/Bombing Mission theme etc. all were absolutely spot on.
Can't stop watching.

Not that Youtube views means much anyways, but this game will be popular.

The game will sell millions, no matter, but their reputation will be so completely destroyed by the 25-40 demographic, I can't imagine they'll survive the backlash.
You'll have those people that will nitpick it for everything. But I'm confident that with some of the original people back. It'll be great.
That's awesome to hear.
Now let this lead to my FF VIII remake with the 4th disc completely opened up to a future setting, side quests involving characters like Raijin, Fujin, Seifer(redemption quest), Edea, Laguna, Kiros and Ward and finally tightened battle system.
Give it to me SE.

It didn't have to fight for attention, unlike FF VII which was revealed during the onslought of game announcements in E3.
This is yours? Oh man I saw this a few days ago and I was howling with laughter and equally stunned.
Its the initial 'FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU' is said followed by..."Huhhhrgg!" when it actually starts playing indicating the possibility of what it is then subsequent "Hrrrrhhh!!" noises throughout that get me.
It sounds like heart attacks were being had! Immense video friend, thanks for sharing the love
I thought that too, Cloud and Barrett heading to get the train for the first bombing mission

Yeah but the DS gameplay shits all over the original's sooo....

Mmmhh... I just hope that the remake starts in the very exact same way as the original. I SERIOUSLY need to experience this new version starting from exactly this scene.
The opening to FFVII is one of the most hype inducing openings to any game EVER.

That was absolutely amazing. Everything about this trailer is amazing.

Oh I agree, that opening is iconic and the remake has to start with it.
When that music kicks in.... I'm gonna lose it.

Do you remember people saying, that the sales of a Final Fantasy 7 Remake would never justify its cost/ bring back the money of the development.
This game will never sell as good as a new Mainline FF Game...
I bet this Remake will sell better than every other FF Game in the past 14 years (since X)
The Hype is real:
For this Game you have the actual Final Fantasy Fans + the oldschool FF Fans that stopped playing the series + all those new generation gamers who are curios about the legendary Final Fantasy 7

Maybe they could use that trailer as an attract mode? Then when it goes to the logo it says 'press any button to continue' and then when you select new game you get the original and, I agree, iconic opening but all fancied up.

Aye. People keep saying that FFXIII damaged the brand, when there is no evidence that supports this aside from vocal internet enthusiasts. We'll see just how damaged the brand is when FFXV and this come out.

I second this notion. Only under the condition that I can leave my party in a critical state and mash skip turn button till Limit Breaks appear.
Question: Is there a correlation between YouTube views of a trailer and sales of a video game?

I haven't been this excited for games since the ps2 era. This along with all the other stuff coming out within the next few years is going to be insane.

Such an amazing reveal. That trailer is one of the best ever made. To have dialogue that works for both the actual game and square taking to their fans? Genius
"The reunion at hand may bring joy. It may bring fear. But let us embrace whatever it brings.
For they.....are coming back.
At last the promise has been made"

Actually shinra is taking over the pillar already, and the kids just watch the explosion releasing mako.
Hence they are coming back home from the bombing instead...
It's as good as the PC port on PS4 trailer was bad.

I'll raise that bet. It will outsell the original.
I do think FFXIII damaged the brand a little, on the other hand a great FFVII remake can bring the brand to new highs, meanwhile a good FFXV can restore the faith on S-E being able to make a worthy remake.
They are indeed coming back from the bombing attack
At the end of the trailer Barret and Cloud are heading to the Seventh Heaven.
