Square Enix lead producer Yoshinori Kitase in a new video has thanked fans for waiting for Final Fantasy VII Remake, which is available now for the PlayStation 4.

"Hello everyone, I am Yoshinori Kitase from Square Enix," he said in the video. We just released Final Fantasy VII Remake that many of you have been waiting for. The original Final Fantasy VII was released in 1997, which means that this remake is coming to you after 23 years since its release.

But what we revived the original game using state of the art technology and the best graphics making it into a game that meets or goes beyond your expectations and is exciting to play.

"We have also introduced cutting-edge game systems for the battle mechanics making for a speedy and active battle system that meets the expectations of th eyounger generation of gamers as well. I hope you enjoy the game."

"gameplay captured on PC"

really...on a PS channel, you're really going to have that show at the bottom of the vid?. That has to be an editors mistake right there.

Dunno why I was downvoted for stating an obvious editing mistake. I guess fanboys?.

Why on earth would you deny a glaring and factual editing mistake to make for a thank you trailer. They could have simply edited that out.

Then I'm not sure as to why they can show VII footage on a PS channel, but clearly label it as "PC footage", and not "PS4 footage", especially when you consider that most trailers that are shown, do not have that text at the bottom for every console style trailer. Usually we get "in-game/in-engine footage", but hardly "this is the PC version" shown at the bottom of every trailer.

Devs saying "X footage was capped on PC", on social media is completely fine, and makes perfect sense, but having it on a console channel trailer just doesn't make any sense to me. I do find it a little deceptive if they want to show off a PC version, that isn't out for a year yet, if it also doesn't look like that on a console.

It was always going to release on PC, this we know, but I found the whole thing about putting that in the trailer as both misleading, an error and to my own thoughts, a jab at reminding me that I won't be able to play this for a whole year. This also makes me wonder how they are going to do trailers for the PC port, because the laziest way would be to just repost this same trailer a year later, so I'm not sure what much more they could show off in a year, that we haven't seen or been spoiled by already.

The thing is, I don't see that happening a lot of the time, thus I do not see it as being a normal thing.

I just think it would have been better to just edit that text out, and it'd make more sense. Then what'd make even more sense, is them crafting a brand new PC focused trailer, for the PC version a year later, instead of just using a rehashed one from the PS4 trailer.

Sorry Kitase, but it did not meet my expectations sadly to say. Fell surprisingly well below expectations. This is not the story of FFVII. This is something completely different. It's like a reboot...it's like they are setting up the story for something else to happen.
My god...how many times do we have to see Sephiroth in just the first few hours of the game?

Mehh...I'm too scared to play further as people have told me to prepare to be even more disappointed of what's to come. Why, Square....why?
