There are many truly iconic moments in Final Fantasy VII and one I share with many others, is when you first leave Midgar and realize that after 10+ hours you have seen NOTHING of the world yet and your journey has just begun.
There are many other, but I want to limit myself to one (except the obvious above):
Rocket Town / Cid's backstory.

It was clear right away, that this will be my funeral music.
(Midi version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqJijjcgSuk)
This is one of the most emotional scenes in gaming history to me (along with Aerith's scene and some scenes in NieR) and I hope they can reenact that without being overly dramatic / cringey ala FF13. It wasn't visual impressive or fast cut, it worked through the sheer understanding of a man's biggest wish being crushed.
What are your FF 7 moments?

It was mind blowing at the time and is still a feat nowadays. Many other games are long over after 10 hours, FF7 just begins. Just look at the tiny dot of the map.

Rocket Town / Cid's backstory.
The flashback you have about Cid realizing his dream to visit the stars are once again shattered during the last seconds:
Along with the heartwrenching music, fittingly called "Sending a dream into the universe", it gives me chills and gets me teary every time. Just listening to the theme makes me incredibly melancholic.
