The trailer narrative is perfect. An obvious Nomura touch right there.

The musician in me will get all giddy if it's Uematsu.
Nah. KH3 is coming out way sooner than you think.
Not quite as significant, but I'm happy to say my reaction video broke 200,000:

I think I might have the second most-viewed FFVII reaction video after GT Live.
That unrestrained enthusiasm hasn't waned. I'm so happy we have entered the "holy shit the Remake is real" era.

I think it needs it.
Many of the developers have repeated several times the size of the work needed to complete it over the last decade, with several of them saying it would be their "lifes work" and/or their "final project" and other comments to that effect.
So, I think they'll be taking it very seriously.
I think the boost from PC will be very much needed too, so whilst it's PS4 first, it almost has to come to other platforms.

Ehhhhhh I agree with you about FF7 being huge but I don't know about the bolded
Half Life is fucking massive
I don't typically watch reaction videos, But this had me in tears laughing the next day. I'm glad it's getting views and likes(I liked it) because it's the best reaction video I've ever seen. The way you were gasping and groaning in disbelief is exactly how I felt lol. Thanks again, good stuff.
SEPHIROOOOOOTHHHH!
Half - life is only big among PC crowd, most console gamers don't even know what Half-Life is.

I disagree with that entire statement. Everyone who even pays a little attention to games knows about Half Life.
That's usually the part where I stop and think if I overdid it.
But then I realized how the original did a really great job establishing actual horror elements, like the beating heart, the bloody hallways, and Sephiroth actually looking right at you in a ghostly form.
And I'm imagining all that in PS4 tech.
Oh no, I'm ready to begin the cat-and-mouse chase again.
They know about it by name but 90% of the time they don't know what Half-life actually is.
Half-Life is basically a benchmark for PC gamers and a internet meme.

I am certainly biased, but I would consider this the most anticipated game we never expected to have, of all time.
So I very much expect it to double that number in little time at all.

I don't think Half Life is as big as Final Fantasy 7. What are the sales of Half Life 1, 2, and the episodes, out of curiosity?
It's on PC so I'd imaging it would be much greater than Final fantasy 7 sales easily and it's made by Valve so.
Damn, this was at Sunrise?

I don't know I kind of agree with him. Only because I think FF VII was a bit more global.

Wtf is this nonsense bro. Half Life is legendary in its own right.
Just like ff7 <3. Even if we wont see it until a few years, thank you Square Enix for starting to make some smart decisions again.
according to this article as of 2011 it was 12 million http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2011/0228/technology-gabe-newell-videogames-valve-online-mayhem.html
First trailer that got perfect 10/10 from Gametrailers crew. They described a feeling of this trailer unveil like a someone reluctantly hovering a cookie over a hungry dog who was desperately patiently waiting for a treat... and then that treat totally delivered.
Bethesda's IPs have become huge during the last generation, Skyrim sold more than 20m copies (most on PC).
FFVII is a remake of a game that came out 20 years ago, the fact that it's still so popular that it can reach the same numbers of bigger IPs like Star Wars and Fallout shows how beloved the original was. It won't sell more than the next Elder Scrolls, but it can beat any other FF (even the original FFVII) if they will be able to conquer the PC crowd.
Somehow FF7 remake became a meme game, probably due to the troll release last year. The announcement has a lot of shock value in that respect, but the prospect of the game itself isn't that exciting. It's a remake. It's not going to have the same effect that the original FF7 had in the 90s.
According to secondhand YouTube comments we were the loudest theater in the state at that time

Dude, the ff7 remake had become a meme since the ps3 tech demo. I mean everybody wanted it but it turned out to be just a tech demo in the end.
The troll announcement of the port last year is actually truly hilarious looking back at it now. I guess they didnt have a trailer to show back then.
You can say whatever but it can become huge and sell more than the original ff7 if they do it righteous.
And every main Pokemon game ever.
That's one of the most impressive things about the trailer too was how creepy it was, it felt really true to the OG and at the same time looked fucking insanely good. Check out the thread about what scenes must stay if you haven't yet. If they can pull this off, the world is going to be a better place hah. You going overboard is what makes that video awesome man, I salute you, and fuck it the people there were freaking out just like the rest of the world.

He seems fond of his meta 'character narrating the game but also refering to the audience' thing. Like that 15th cycle of the saga or whatever it was at E3 2013, or this might not have been him, the 'it's been a long time but it's almost here' FFXV TGS 2014 trailer.
This is exactly the sort of thing people were saying about a FF7 remake before the reveal (only early Playstation fans would care, people have moved on etc); just like the FF7 remake, unless something goes horribly wrong with it people are going to completely lose their shit if/when Half-life 3 is actually revealed.
Hell I didn't think we will see the day after this
now we know why he was laughing tho
its been a meme somewhat since e3 2005. people have been begging for it but SE was all like "lol nope".
looking back now. it would have been cooler if they introduced FF7-R like this
I welcome this, I was beginning to lose hope.
Half-life is to PC gaming as FF7 is to playstation. There is really no point comparing the two.
The major difference for me is that Half-Life spawned Counterstrike and many other games, while SE has never been able to top FF7. That's great in both regards. FF7 is bigger for me personally, but if HL3 ever gets properly announced, I imagine I'll be just as excited.

Well, the original sold about 10 million WW so it should odd at least that.
Not when FFVII Remake looks 900 times better than anything else coming out of Japan because Square-Enix are one of the few if not only Japanese companies capable of creating AAA RPGs.
I don't think VIIr will do anything for the genre as a whole and the state of consoles in Japan, but feel free to prove me wrong once it's out there.

Way to keep expectations reasonable!
No matter how good the remake is, if you go in with this mindset you will almost assuredly be let down.
