One
of the first things that come to mind when you think back about
Final
Fantasy VII are the amazing
cutscenes that blew our collective
minds in 1997. During those brief snippets, the visual fidelity in
which Square was able to present their creative world melted faces
faster than an Ark of the Covenant left slightly ajar. And while it was
a bit strange to see your stumpy avatars suddenly exist in a
realistically-proportioned world, there’s no denying the impact that
those classic cinematics made at the time. But time doesn’t always look
kindly on things, which is
why 1UP’s Jeremy Parish and Kat Bailey
decided to celebrate Final
Fantasy VII’s 15th Anniversary
by rewatching the game’s nearly-45 minutes worth of
cutscenes. This video’s a bit of a doozy, so make yourself comfortable
as 1UP grades Final Fantasy VII’s cinematics.
