Nostalgia in vein, this is the FF VII Remake television commercial for Japan, a blockbuster that lasts a whopping 13 minutes.
Last weekend, Square Enix launched in Japan the first TV commercial for Final Fantasy VII Remake and, of course, stayed at ease. Already defined as "the longest ad in history", it lasts 13 minutes and a half (7 in its reduced version) and instead of showing too much of the game, which only shows a little at the end, choose to tell your own story with real actors, as if it were a short film.
Even without subtitles, the ad tells in broad strokes the day-to-day of an office worker played by Masataka Kubota (Tokyo Ghoul and Death Note actor). An office worker who begins to see how his coworkers, his partner and ultimately all those around him, do not stop talking about Final Fantasy VII on the occasion of his remake. Cloud's adventure seems to have marked the childhood of all the people in his life, whose face is illuminated thinking about the title and the first time they tried it. Kubota, who did not know the game, is curious and envious, and ends up buying a PlayStation 4 to try the remake himself.
Even being the typical Japanese drama, the advertisement, which is at the height of any blockbuster, contains some scenes full of nostalgia, especially when the characters remember their first time with the PSX game. For those who leave to see it with the tear and biting their nails through the remake, scheduled for March 3, 2020, we remind you that nothing has come out a video with Tifa in action, limit attack included, and that it has been confirmed that The minigame of squats is preserved. Two small pills with which to make the wait lighter. Still, and as the end of the announcement reads, "arrive soon, remake!"
