Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

This is absolutely stunning.

Previous trailers focused more on the battle scenes, without showing much of the main stage setting. Now that the entire world has been revealed, the feeling is completely different.

"Wow, this Gobi Desert, these mountains, these trees, this... Crimson Thirteen!"

The camera shifts, and a wolf-like creature begins to run wildly, followed by two wolf pups, presumably its cubs.

The players shouted out its name without hesitation.

Red XIII is also a very popular wolf-shaped character in the Final Fantasy VII storyline.

He was an experiment created by the villain Hojo, but eventually escaped and became a member of the main characters' group.

Following Red XIII's frantic run, it led its cub to the edge of a cliff, and in the distance was the familiar city, the Shinra City of Midgar, but the once magnificent city was now a ruin overgrown with weeds.

Chapter 510 I really want to keep reading

The scene where Red XIII runs wildly across the land, and then the camera zooms out to the ruins of Midgar, is exactly the Easter egg video at the end of Final Fantasy VII.

Familiar players already know that this is a scene from 500 years in the future.

But at that time, no one knew why the scene at the end of the game, which takes place 500 years after Red XIII, appeared.

In terms of a living organism's lifespan, Crimson XIII is indeed very long-lived; however, since it is a modified being, it may possess an extraordinary physique.

The reason why the scene set 500 years in the future appears at the end has become a topic of much discussion among players.

It's like interpreting a literary masterpiece, making players very enthusiastic about deciphering this scene from 500 years in the future.

The most credible theory is that all the storylines about Final Fantasy VII are Red XIII reminiscing about the past to his offspring, telling the story of their father's glorious past.

Of course, this interpretation is very straightforward. Many players have also analyzed that the imagery of five hundred years in the future should reflect the insignificance of mankind. On a scale of five hundred years, or even thousands or tens of thousands of years, the destruction of the world or the domination of the world are meaningless.

Time is the greatest villain; others who consider themselves villains are nothing more than insignificant ants beneath the villainy of time.

Besides this interpretation, there are even more stream-of-consciousness interpretations. In short, Takeyusei left countless interpretations for players regarding the scene of Red XIII running wildly across the land, which further extended the popularity of Final Fantasy VII. To this day, there are still dedicated seminars on Final Fantasy 7 years later online, with a bunch of bored people interpreting this video every day.

Now, this scene is presented once again in a completely new guise.

The creation of this scene in the previous Final Fantasy VII game could only be considered a harbinger of the arrival of 3D games, allowing people to experience true 3D games and full 3D CG animation effects for the first time.

After several years of polishing the Unreal Engine and continuous technological advancements, the visuals of the Final Fantasy VII animated film are now a leap forward.

Although it still looks fake at first glance, it's getting incredibly close to the real thing.

The fully 3D-created realistic scene surpasses most special effects software in terms of modeling alone.

People were amazed and exclaimed that it truly lived up to its reputation as a company called Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

They not only consistently break new ground in gameplay, but also possess unparalleled strength and depth in game graphics technology.

As the camera pans out over the ruins of Midgar, the story officially begins its main chapter.

A mysterious man wielding a knife pushed a person in a wheelchair to the top of what appeared to be a building under construction. The relationship between the two was perplexing, but the man's mention of his mother made many players' nerves twitch.

The person referred to as "Mother" in Final Fantasy VII is Jenova.

People who call Genova "mother" are generally not good people.

Then, the scene changes again, and we are in a snowy mountain area. A helicopter with the Shinra symbol flies in the sky, and a familiar character appears.

A red-haired man named Reno was piloting a helicopter at high speed.

In the game, the image of Reno with red hair is rather vague because this character can only be considered a minor supporting character.

However, with the help of brand-new CG effects, people saw Renault's appearance clearly for the first time.

Wow, Renault is actually this handsome!

"I never expected this before."

Many gamers who watched the movie were very happy.

Such animation effects are truly amazing; they swear they've never seen such realistic animation effects before.

If it weren't for the fact that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment had previously promoted the movie as having all its special effects created using Unreal Engine, they probably still wouldn't have believed that it was a fake scene.

As the helicopter moves quickly, the scene changes again, and this time it seems to truly bring us to the main feature of the movie.

The main feature begins with a very young girl's voice introducing the general storyline of Final Fantasy VII.

The villain Sephiroth attempts to destroy the entire world, while countless talented individuals unite to resist him and strive to defeat him completely.

This scene left a deep impression on players, especially when the camera panned to the familiar hedgehog-headed man embracing a woman in the water, many players couldn't help but shed tears.

"Waaah, my Alice!"

This scene depicts the moment when Claude bids farewell to Aerith, allowing her to return to the embrace of the Stream of Life.

Then comes the great battle between Cloud and Sephiroth.

The visuals weren't particularly spectacular; they were just some edited clips, yet they instantly evoked memories for every player.

This can definitely be considered a movie geared towards fans.

If it weren't for the gimmick of full CG special effects, players who aren't familiar with Final Fantasy VII would probably find it hard to understand the deeply moving content of this scene. They would only be able to roughly understand that someone died and then a group of people defeated the villain.

After introducing the general outline of the story, the camera finally turns to the city of Midgar.

After the last great battle with Sephiroth, the city of Midgar was in dire need of rebuilding.

At this moment, humanity rediscovered its resilience and slowly rebuilt the city.

Then, one by one, the familiar characters appeared.

Tifa, a slightly older Marlene, and the protagonist Cloud.

Whenever a familiar character appears, it elicits a burst of excited gasps from the players; the familiar feeling is back.

At this point, many viewers who are not familiar with the original plot may feel slightly bored.

The story is just so-so; the only thing that's interesting is the full CG special effects.

It seems the people in the film industry were right; this person named Zhu Youxing isn't particularly good at making movies.

Some viewers unfamiliar with Final Fantasy VII are already ready to close the video, as many of them do not have a subscription and are only watching it now because of the free preview available.

The time is just right; they're almost at the limit of the time they can see.

At this moment, they were thinking to themselves that they were indeed wise enough not to blindly choose to pay for a membership to this video immediately.

However, just then, the first climax of the movie arrived.

Claude was about to ride his outrageous motorcycle back to the city when three guys who looked like villains appeared. They were also riding motorcycles and had very smug expressions on their faces as they started chasing Claude's motorcycle.

"Oh? The chase has started? But usually, chases are more exciting when cars are racing on sidewalks, right?"

Some viewers perked up a little again, wanting to see how the movie would unfold.

Then those guys who looked like villains started using all sorts of bizarre moves.

First, strange creatures resembling black cheetahs suddenly emerged from the ground.

The creatures sprinted and attacked Cloud, followed by a very flashy combat sequence.

People in this world have never imagined that fighting on motorcycles could be so creative.

The world is not lacking in imaginative and whimsical films; they've seen plenty of them.

However, they swore they had never seen such an outrageous motorcycle chase.

Two motorcycles chasing the protagonist Cloud begin to circle around him in a manner that defies the laws of physics, attacking him with incredibly fast-paced action effects that quickly build up your adrenaline.

Previously, people who were about to close the video webpage stopped clicking and their eyes widened slightly.

Outrageous, simply outrageous!

You can do this with a motorcycle? This is impossible! This kind of fighting style that defies the laws of physics is really insulting to the audience.

But... I really want to keep watching.

Ding.

"Dear user, your trial period has ended. If you wish to continue watching, you can pay ten dollars to watch for another month."

The audience was stunned, and inwardly cursed.

Are you even human?! You actually shut it down at this crucial moment?!

But I really want to see it.

Ten dollars... spent!

Chapter 511 Unexpected Gains

511

The most appealing aspect of the Final Fantasy VII movie is undoubtedly its ultra-fast-paced fight scenes.

As for the story itself, even with an extra half hour of introduction time, it still seemed somewhat obscure.

However, this is not a big problem, because people are already spontaneously helping those who don't understand the plot to explain the whole story.

They can give a very vivid and engaging presentation of the story to people who haven't played Final Fantasy VII.

After hearing the whole story, these people also developed a strong interest in the game.

Sales of Final Fantasy VII console versions, which had been gradually declining, began to rise again in a short period of time.

However, it wasn't long before these buyers were informed that a high-definition version of Final Fantasy VII would be released for the handheld console in the future.

Now, you can enjoy a discount by simply buying a Final Fantasy VII movie cartridge, which is a great deal.

Then, the hype quickly escalated.

There were excellent animated films and films with outstanding special effects before Final Fantasy VII: The Movie.

But no one has actually thought of making a movie in this style yet.

This cannot be considered an animated film for children, nor can it be considered a live-action film.

Some call it an animated film for adults, while others call it a CG film.

Regardless, due to the outstanding visuals and effects of the Final Fantasy VII movie, it quickly dominated the front page of many social networks.
