@loasolidsnakemgs do you even know what FF1 or other games in 1987 were like? As for the drawn graphics, they are way too detailed to fit that time. The NES was limited to displaying 16 colors out of a 52 color palette at the same time. So the graphics are, if anything, too GOOD. The sound is pretty accurate, for comparisson: you could fit ONE second of an MP3-track in a NES-cartridge's memory.
Maybe head to gametrailers, watch the FF Retrospective and educate yourself?
@loasolidsnakemgs The original music was midi, but not the same kind of midi the NES used. PS1 midis were way more advanced. This is dead-on NES. You have ears, right?
this game would just kick ass no matter what....it's possibly the greatest creation known to mankind...I will never be able to get over how epic it is.
this is cool, but i don't think anyone would have the patience to play this because there would be a lot of the same picture over and over. :( patience
@Menarus The many discs accounted for the pre-rendered cut-scenes and all, if cut scenes were just pictures it wouldn't take up that much cartridges....maybe 100 minimum.. :P
@Spacefrisian this did come out on an 8 bit console. This was made for North Koreans who didn't have the PS1 ... so game makers made a bootleg copy for the NES (which was still the main console over there) and sold it off as the real thing.
Those cutscenes look more like a Sega Genesis game than a NES game. Specifically, Phantasy Star II. (Phantasy Star II has a lot in common with FF7... including having a party member die halfway through the game.)
FFVII was originally meant to be for the SNES, but then Nintendo thought they had to upgrade to 3D, like everything else. Because of their lack of knowledge on the subject, they sold out all rights of Final Fantasy to Sony, that's why we only have remakes on Nintendo handhelds. To be honest, now that Nintendo is super badass with the Wii U being released, Nintendo should go back to their roots and make a new Final Fantasy game, with a good story and not 1000 years in the future or something.
If FF7 would've been made 10 years earlier, it would more than likely have been released on PCengine aaaand possibly on 1989 or 1990 due the reason for it to be released on CD.
There was a FF7 for the NES system, but I think the way you envisioned yours and how you made yours feel and the look is better suited, rather then how it was for the NES system.
I'm not sure if any of you knew that there was a FF7 for the NES. Just stating that there is one.
Cool! One change I would think of, unless it violates something, is at 0:48 when showing the the FF7 logo change the copyright to 1987 to fit your 10-year earlier vision.
@motakay lets just say it´s for the Gameboy then xD
lookin interesting :)
Hey? If you like Reallife Stuff, maybe i can lead you to my Channel, where you can find Ignition GO! . My Own Reallife RPG im making. We were having a winter break but we´ll continue working on this. So why not give it a try and watch it :)
I liked Sword Quest 2, which graphics were worst than that (which isn't so bad), so... "me hubiera gustado" anyway (I can't remember how to say in english ^^u ). But, I'm happy it were made in the time it was made.
Nicely done! The only criticism I have is that the frame where Sephiroth is stabbing Aeris is a little early, you probably should've had a transitional frame with him in midair. Without that it looks like he kind of just magically appeared behind Aeris. Beyond that one little thing, this is a great job!
it was pretty cool idea, but i do have one critique... in first fight with the soldiers, cloud's name shouldn't be there; that's where the ex-soldier belongs. i don't quite remember what the opponents' names were, probably guard A & B or something like that.
I think was made FF7 such a hit was that it was the first FF game in 3D and the first JRPG to set the standard for all later 3D JRPGs of that generation for ps1, N64, etc
basically it being a first of the important few, if some other game had done it before FF7 was made then it wouldn't have been as great tho still good in most areas
if final fantasy 7 would have come to the nes, it would still have great cinema displays, good story and prolly would pwn any polystation3 and dustbox 360 games
@killingblair Colour tvs have existed since the early 70s at least. The very first FF game was released around 1987 (maybe even earlier) and was in full colour. I think you're way off the mark there.
the funny thing about the first scene when the train stops... is that it looked almost exactly like that. lol. the first time i played ff7 i forced my mom to watch, "Check out these sweet graphics!" I had her hooked until she seen them debark the train and she never looked back...
@cyc01 I'm glad you liked it. That song was the whole reason I did this movie. To make one winged angel 8-bit style. The images where just made quckly so that people would have something to look at while listening. :)
final fantasy 7 10 years on after loads of requests for a remake of FF7 square enix decide to do the intro of FF7 with ps3 graphics as tech demo or something (bit of a piss take)
@motakay To be honest, that was fantastic, both art-wise, and music-wise. Although, those graphics look more 16-bit in the scenes. Great 8-bit stuff in the fights, though.
