The Final Fantasy 7 remake project, which has already brought Remake and Rebirth to the market, is exciting millions of gamers all over the world, but the younger ones probably don't know that it would never have existed without the Technical Demo of Final Fantasy 7 presented by Square Enix at E3 2005. Who remembers it?
It's May 16, 2005: “only” eight years have passed since the publication of the original version of Final Fantasy 7 on PlayStation, but the adventure of Cloud & co. it is already considered an immortal classic. With the promise of a new generation of consoles on the horizon, Square Enix chooses to amaze all spectators at E3 in Los Angeles with a Technical Demo of Final Fantasy 7 sewn around the hardware of the upcoming PlayStation 3. The success was immediate: the prospect of being able to replay the original classic in real time with graphics of that magnitude sent all the fans into raptures, who immediately began to crave an entire game of that quality. They didn't know that yet their dream would actually come truealthough not as soon as they hoped…
The Technical Demo, presented through a 1 minute and 39 second film, did nothing but recreate the iconic Introduction of Final Fantasy 7with the first appearance of Aerith, the overview of the city of Midgar and Cloud's iconic jump from the train, who for the occasion exhibited some green eyes instead of blue. Its realization took a long time six months of work by the same team that in those years was taking care of the development of Final Fantasy XIII under the guidance of Director Motomu Toriyama. The thirteenth final fantasy was initially planned for PlayStation 2, but the commitment made for the Technical Demo and the notable technical results achieved played a fundamental role in the decision to move the development of Final Fantasy XIII to PlayStation 3, on which it actually arrived only in 2010 (accompanied by an Xbox 360 edition).
In addition to fully achieving the objective set by Sony and Square Enix, namely showing the technical capabilities of PlayStation 3, the demo also made Final Fantasy fans' mouths water, who from that moment on began to ask more and more insistently for the creation of a real remake of the original. It took fifteen years, but they finally won!
You can admire the Technical Demo of Final Fantasy 7 for PS3 in the video attached at the top of this news. The most loyal fans among you will notice that some of his scenes were then reused by Square Enix to create the pre-rendered epilogue of Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-launched in 2007 on PSP.
