Final Fantasy VII Commercial 1997

[uloset]

Ah the commercial that single-handedly got me to buy a PS1. 

[xWindtearx]

I was born in 1997 (14 now) and I still played this awesome game. As soon as I saw Advent Children and then found out there was a game I had to play it! Who cares if the graphics suck and there's no voice acting? That was back when developers put time into their videogames to make them awesome. Now most games suck. -_-

[djstar1990]

i had buy this game wen it was new still have the game the best game out of the series.

[kryptomanik]

I can't believe they actually showed a clip from Aeris' death xD

[Dracotonis]

I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NamesAidan]

Game: Awesome

Commercial: Sucked

[Auronkatamail]

I would buy this game immediately if I saw this commercial on tv today, although I've already played this game 9 or 10 times! *_*

[ItisThatGuy]

I remember when these graphics were considered phenomenal.

[Anim9L]

First (and Last) RPG Game ill ever play

[Essylte]

I totally remember this commercial!

[vilperi27]

Im proud to be born at -97!

[JaquezSec]

Looks Cool When This Game Come Out?

[dayren0523]

back in the day poeple crapped their pants when they saw the commercial

[PoliticalBoondocks]

killuminati.isgreat.org - our planet is crying

[Kingmewtwoii]

I got my game at a yard sale, for under $10 bucks, and it worked great still does

[mar990]

I just fucking jizzed....

[thatboyhov]

saw this commercial and had to get a playstation and ff7 as my first game for it on my birthday - best decision ever

[SuperFartmaster5000]

I wish I was born in the early 1990s. :(

[VF5]

@SuperFartmaster5000 What year were you born?

[APlasticl3ag]

epic adventure of the year??? BULL SHIT MORE LIKE EPIC ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME

[sephiroth7655]

This commercial lies it did come to a theater near a lot of people because they did make this into a movie lawl.

[OldboySaint]

I'm pretty sure that was every single cut scene in that game, Final Fantasy 7 has so few cut scenes but is amazing none the less.

[HarleyStcool]

PLAY-STA-TION!

[RattyRandnums]

$100? Damn it wasn't mint but I got my copy for like 30.

[Jamjor]

That was the lamest commercial i've seen, for one of the best games i've played.

[tommygun6644]

lmao, they showed Aeris dead in the commercial?

[RainingLightning00]

If you replay at 0:22 many times..Hearing Tifa screaming. It's hilarious.

[talleyho12]

never come to a theater near you? FUCK

[mrcoleman1991]

@talleyho12 ironically they made a ff7 film lol

[talleyho12]

@mrcoleman1991 if i dont aknowledge the crap that is advent children it cant hurt me anymore

[WolfenNights]

What the fuck, they spoiled the game in the first commercials?

[drkcrstl]

theres no way this is the best game ever. in 1997 ? maybe

[RynoBGood]

greatest game ever!!!!

[theburntshadow]

"Will never come to a theater near you" LOL good one.

[ForceKiller34]

i was born on 1996 so i never knew what the ninties was like but all i know that if i was 13 years old in 1997 and i saw this commercial i would so beg my parents to get me this game lol i just got the game today 2/1/2010 for 100 dollars lol my brother told me he remembered the game game when it first came out for 50 dollars and the greatest hits for 20 this game is rare im so happy i have it

[Katana991]

IT's also possible to download it from the PlayStation Network.

[gorginhanson]

ya seriously... 100 dollars?

[AndersonChan84]

@Katana991 lol

[docweird666]

@Katana991

Download < copy, case & manual.

Some people just need the hard stuff (ie. collectors).

[Deathbringer99699]

@Katana991 "please insert disc two" ..

this is one of the most epic moments you will never experience XD

[ILoveCloudStrife1234]

@ForceKiller34 Same here my friend thankfully in 7th heaven me and Tifa just got PS3 and Square Enix made a game out of our adventure and so I'm gonna buy it soon from the Play Station Network. But we look so square. I do remember using the buster sword it was amazing.

[TheKidsAreAllRed]

@ForceKiller34

I remember going into Wal Mart the night I went to buy FF7. I got the clerk to open the game case for me, and I remember pointing out the game I wanted. Right as I did it, some other guy came up, and got a copy of FF7, too. It was a hot game in 97! Good memories.

[brownshoeT2]

@ForceKiller34 i bought this game for $10 for my computer in 1997... some 1 sold it to me at a garage sell i still have the case and all the CD's :)

[olliestottle]

@ForceKiller34 Your story and respect for your elders is much appreciated thumbs up lol

[Longhornzmatt]

@ForceKiller34 That was pretty much exactly what I did. I was 13, saw that commercial and begged my parents until they finally broke and got me a Playstation and FF7 for Christmas '97.

[palindinX]

@ForceKiller34 100$? i just got mine off PSN store for 10$. :(

[NathanaelADavis]

@ForceKiller34 its $10 at psn store right now

[SuperSephirothGalaxy]

@ForceKiller34 WTF i got mine for £15



[PhoenixHelix]

@ForceKiller34 To get an original copy is pretty hard, i was lucky to get mine back in 2002 and it was rare then, if i were you kid i'd keep hold of that gem; you'll probably never find another perfect copy: i should know, i havent!

[fmilktoast]

@ForceKiller34 i was 13 in '97 and i just about shit my pants the first time i saw this commercial.

[dapigudemao]

@ForceKiller34 I was 13 years old in 1997! :p

[LoveMyLoveStory]

.......The most Epic Game Of 1997? XD I Have To Agree. lol

[VapourXY]

I was actually getting goosebumps...

[NeverAgain1985]

shit cool, cant go back to those times!

[Televizzle07]

dam the nineties was the shit. i remember wen i was like seven years old playing this game, listening to nevermind, never hearing anybody complain about money issues, man you just made me realize how much i truly miss those days.

its all good becuz i no i can get that back

[pikachu8308]

your right katana the 90s was the shit.fuck the terroist shit who cares 9/11 was orchestrated by our government anyways so the us could go on a rampage in iraq and afganistan and the rich could get richer.kurt cobain,2pac,bill clinton,the economy,the music,the first decade without the cold war n ff7 thats wat made the 90s great.wat we got this decade kanye west the voice of a generation( lol not mine),bush jr,2 vietnams n a broke country wtf happened?

[Katana991]

Kanye West seems more like on of the asses of this generation.

[RaterisimoCBA]

@pikachu8308 ... I just can´t believe what I read ... WHO cares ??? Thousands of DEAD people care ... comparing a simple game to something like that ... no wonder why United States are so fucked up.

[robbysheldon]

I hope Square Enix does a remake - not because I thought the game wasn't good, it was the best ever, but could you imagine FFVII in PS3 graphics with things like jump controlls and improved maps, better character backgrounds and maybe even platforming action?(maybe a little too far there...)

[woutertj1991]

what is the name of the background song?

[Katana991]

Final Encounter by Steve Baker.

[bub777]

@Katana991 and here I was thinking it was a tune Nobuo Uematsu himself did for the commercials, that we wouldn't find on iTunes!

[FFiskindofmagic]

Best Final fantasy ever!

[betsiepage]

BEAST.

[TureLights]

goodbye 90's. Hello 21st century ;]

[Katana991]

I liked the 90's better. It seemed like better times to me.

[TureLights]

Really, how so?

[Katana991]

I'm not sure, there weren't a lot of terrorist threats, the economy was still pretty good, a lot of interesting trends and pop culture, etc.

[DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3]

Not a lot of Terrorist Threats? There were more attacks on the USA in the 90's than in this decade. Google "Significant Terrorist Incidents, A Brief Chronology"

There were 53 terrorist attacks that impacted at least one US Citizen or US interests. Average of 5.3 a year, with 1996 being the worst with 16 events involving US assets or citizens.

You'd be amazed though at the number of people who think terrorism started with 9/11.

[Katana991]

Okay, I did not know that, except for the one with the Oklahoma City bombing.

[sisnisterdreams17]

wil lnever come to a thatre near you *ff7:ac is realesed*

xD

0:11

BARRETS SMILE XD

[XoXArchAngelXoX]

ahhhh this bring back memories...so old...love it

[apnisse]

sounds like an 70's commercial

[Katana991]

How?

[rainbowdragon999]

Its funny that it did turn into a movie

[Bashinzu]

Imagine if this(not AC)was made into a movie, it would be like star wars, 3 movies long.

[rainbowdragon999]

most FF games would be 2-4 movies long

[chris10023465]

no final fantasy VII would probably be 5 movies long it was three discs big, plus if you add the stupid psp game called crisis core

[mrjackard]

Crisis Core is the best game I've ever played..

[Keeryen]

What's it like to have no taste in games?

[Minish2008]

What's it like to be an egotistical asshole?

[Leviticus321]

i have to agree with keeryen on this one

[zunath]

You tell me.

[montanam4]

You should know, since you have none.

[Katana991]

Or maybe even an anime miniseries. I wonder what that would be like.

[Brandon72196]

There was one.. It was called Final Fantasy VII Lost Order I think.

[Katana991]

Wasn't that just an OVA?

[montanam4]

Yh it was.

[baboonbob69]

They should make it, it would be sick, and make CC and DOC and FF7 and AC and then they made a story of Red.

[wiseguy2tri]

I love the low-quality audio of 90's commercials.

[Katana991]

I've always thought commercials from the 90's were better.

[dangerbird89]

90s comercials also didnt change frames at the exact rate it takes the brain to process an image.Look at todays comercials ull see them changing angles immediatly once u understand the image boom, new angle.Its really anoying and dam they speed up peoples voices into comercials now digitally.Its all about getting as much info into a time slot as possible or some shit.They also do the repetition bs now they didnt do then.Advertising now has alot more mental tricks and stuff that it didnt used to

[yutaker13]

these old commercials actually have people talkin the new ones are just clips

[Katana991]

What do you mean?

[YOSHIshippo]

haha i remember this. thanks for putting it up!

[PNT510]

I like how they don't show one little bit of gameplay in the commercial.

[Katana991]

Yeah, only CGI goodness. :)

[OperaLucia]

I know only an old version game(1980's), so I'm very astonished at graphics of the present game.

[Katana991]

I like it too, plus the storytelling that was involved.

[Tamsh00ter]

awesome vid dude

[Katana991]

Thanks. :)
