10 Times Final Fantasy 7 Remake Made Our Jaw Drop

Let’s set the scene. The wait is over. After five years of waiting since the announcement at E3, the FF7 Remake disk is finally inside your PS4, but who could possibly be prepared for what’s about to happen?

Then you hear it. That iconic melody begins to play as if it were 1997 all over again. You see the buster sword in all its glory, shimmering in the light just as it did all those years ago, and you’re immersed beneath a wave of pure joy as you’re taken back your childhood.

Except now it’s even better than before, as the fully orchestrated rebirth of the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack blasts out of your speakers and engulfs you. What a moment. What a feeling. Those 20 years of waiting have been entirely worth it.

The game hasn't even started yet, there are 40 hours of unrelenting joy waiting for you, but for the moment all you want to do is sit and take in this moment of bliss. Are you even human if you didn't sit through until you'd listened to the song all the way through?
