Extra-long trailer for Square Enix’s hotly anticipated title also shows off Red XIII and other key characters for the first time.
Final Fantasy VII (Page 2)
Square Enix pushes back the release date for what might be its most highly anticipated game ever.
Cosplayer’s wedding video has Final Fantasy VII weaponry and music, feels like a romantic RPG cutscene.
The Turks arrive and immediately yank the spotlight away from designated protagonist Cloud, as does Aerith’s beautiful dress.
Both original version and upcoming remake are featured in musical salute to the definitive CD-based RPG video game.
Theme park announces its first-ever tie-up with the pair of massively popular anime, video game franchises.
Who knew Final Fantasy VII’s baddie would make such a gorgeous engagement ring? Takayas Custom Jewelry knew.
Some of the video game franchise’s greatest heroes appear in promotion for its latest title.
Is it still considered fan art when you’re the pro who created one of the two video game icons crossing swords?
“I never thought this day would come,” says the Final Fantasy VII hero. Neither did we, Cloud. Neither did we.
Just as languages around the world are each unique yet beautiful, art has also developed its own flavor depending on where you are from. When comparing Western and Asian animation, there is a distinct style difference when it comes to the shape of faces, size of facial features, and the overall aesthetic. Both styles are very appealing, but when push comes to shove, all of us probably have a preference between the two.
Art is also a conversation though, and it can be transposed between two different worlds, such as Western art with an Asian flair or vice versa. One artist’s rendition of Final Fantasy characters drawn with a Western touch is making us super-excited because they look like they are ready for their Disney close-ups.
Now that Final Fantasy VII is officially in the “re-works”, fans are furiously digging through their closets to find all their favorite Gaia memorabilia, dusting them off and putting them back on display. For two die-hard fans, it meant it was time to return to the game that they loved and cosplay two important characters in one of the most iconic scenes from the game. The resulting photo shoot is breathtaking and might even be better than the HD remix that Square Enix has planned.
