Watching this trailer may embed some niggling questions in your mind -- questions like: Is it safe to run on top of trains? Why does Cloud have black hair? Who at Square Enix decided that story-rich fantasy and gut-crunching metal were a good mix? However, this video should eliminate any question in your mind that a spiritual sequel to a 3-disc RPG masterpiece could fit on a UMD. Focusing mostly on summons, a Final Fantasy staple, this trailer has pushed our excitement for Crisis Core far beyond our apprehension towards the game. We just hope the final product has music of a more ... listenable variety.

It was three discs, not four~
And I'm pretty sure that music is a remix of the boss battle theme from Final Fantasy 7. So it's okie dokie in my book.

@McElroy: That explains why you thought Zack was Cloud. Also, I personally like this music, it's very Black Mages-like.

There were four disks in the PC version, which is the only one I played.

Agreed..
but LOL at the irony of linking to an urban dictionary entry where NONE of the definitions match the music in this trailer.
I think he just wanted to say 'butt rock'.

I didn't scroll down that far originally.. but still, 1/7, majority rules. I'd say the definition used is the odd man out.

Square, just fully remake it for PS3 with HD and all that and be done with it.

And for DS, too, for those of us who were kids and had all the time in the world when it came out, but can't sit in front of a TV for 40+ hours nowadays!

Anyone who plays this game and wonders why Cloud has black hair should probably return it.
And shoot themselves.

Why just because I didn't read the manga?
I'm sorry for not knowing Cloud changed his hair color to black in the Manga, seriously you Naruto fans take things way to serious.
Also is Sasuke in this game?
….
Meanwhile thousands of miles away.
Final Fantasy Fans just said in chorus :Oh no he didn’t!

Joke's stale. They looked identical in the game, but Cloud and Zach do look quite different when properly rendered, and it's not like you need to go through the game with a fine-tooth comb to know it, either.

"Why does Cloud have black hair?"
Maybe because it's Zack not Cloud . In final fantasy 7 Cloud "steals" Zacks' Shinria soldier credientials and sword after he dies .

I find the music suitably epic. Gut-wrenching metal,sif brah.

Might as well give it a try. Absolutely hated Final Fantasy 7 (after the stellar Final Fantasy 6, I couldn't let my standards fall to the point where I'd like FF7), but damn if the music/atmosphere weren't top notch.

Oh, and, why the hell is my avatar a black box? I tried to change my pic days ago, and have re-uploaded different pics several times since. It's getting ridiculous.

I've been posting here for a few years now, bub, and this has never happened to me before. A week without a picture = a bit more than 'uploading problems' if ya ask me.

The game honestly isn't that impressive, and the USA version has been released on torrent/warez sites already.
Finished it today, it's a nice reminder of what Final Fantasy VII was, but doesn't really live up to it.
Although I must say, the new battle system and materia fusion gets a thumbs-up from me.
It did make me want to play the seventh one again, but it doesn't work in my PS2, and my PS1 is dead. What a shame.
I totally think they should do a remake for the PS3, or even make the original available on the PSN. Instant profit!

Download Bleem and play it on your PC.I did that with SH1 and it worked.
I'm not a FF fan but I know how the story of 7 goes thanks to rabbid fans and gametrailer so in a scale of 1 to 10 what is a 8?

Oh yeah and I hate you for using Torrents.Everytime you download a PSP game a puppy dies,stop killing puppies you effing thief.
See that's why the PSP can't keep anything exclusive.

There's a PC version of FF7. You can get it new on eBay for like $20.

I'm going to have to disagree with most of you. While i'm sure i'd love a FFVII remake, i think it's best left alone. Let it be a memory of what is still an amazing game. It shouldn't be remade, or even released on the PSN for that matter. If people want to play it, they should have it, buy it, or save up. Like Ken Kutaragi said (i don't know the exact quote), people should work extra hard to pay for (ps3) Final Fantasy VII and enjoy it that much more.

I don't think it's even close to reasonable for people who haven't played FF7 yet to shell out $100+ just for a used copy. Stop being a bitter fanboy about your rare collectible game.

You're kidding yourself if you''re paying over $100. It's easily findable for ~$50, you just have to know how to e an "eBayer". I'd say don't say i'm showing off my collection, but looking back, i kind of am. :(, but then again, :)

FFVII is rare? I realize black labels are hard to find, but greatest hits too? Hmm. Glad I still have the copy I bought way back in '97.

Why pay a dime for FF7? Download it. Nobody related to the development or publication of that game gets a single dime either way.
