The reimagined version of the PlayStation game returns with an introduction sequence longer than the original.
In the absence of just over a month for the premiere of Final Fantasy VII Remake, Square Enix presented the opening of the video game, which hung entirely on the franchise's YouTube channel. Unlike the original, the revamped version incorporates unpublished sequences that show the ins and outs of Midgar, the daily lives of citizens and the hidden places that were not seen in the 1997 video game. The initial images are accompanied by the musical notes of a variant from One Winged Angel, the theme of Sephiroth.
Through the video that you can see on these lines, you can see the changes that have been made in the composition, which go beyond the new graphics. We set aside the initial sequences, which were not in the original, to focus on what they share. In this way, the clip begins with the florist Aeris, who in the remake collides with another person and loses several of her flowers. Then try to recover them, but one of them is trampled by a pedestrian
The city of Midgar, the city crowned by the enormous Mako reactors of Shinra, absorbs the vital energy of the planet, one of the conflicts that leads to the fight against the gigantic company. The new intro outlines a much larger city when the Final Fantasy VII Remake logo appears. Next, the famous train scene begins and Cloud low with his sword raised. This new production delves into the characters, so many of the Avalanche members who tiptoed in the PSX title will have more importance in this version.

It's just the beginning
Do not forget that this video game will not tell the full story of the classic. Square Enix opted for an episodic model of which they have not provided too many details, not even the number of deliveries that will make up the entire product. What is official is that the second part has already entered the development phase. The company is confident that the following titles will be commercialized more quickly, since they already have the necessary resources to continue with the work.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is in development for PS4. Its launch was scheduled for March 3, but it was eventually delayed until April 10. With this delay, exclusivity is also extended in the Sony machine, which will last a whole year.
