Well, after watching that trailer, I think it is confirmed that SE has a direct line into my emotional interior that evades all initial critical thinking
. *giddy* I recall being as excited with the initial trailers of AC. The differences make me curious, hopeful, and anxious all at once. What will be added? What will be cut? What will the changed?
I'm impressed with most of the visuals. Midgar looks too "clean" for my liking though, as Edge was in AC. Needs more dirt and grit. It needs to appear like FFVII with better graphics
. (Edit - Upon viewing the high definition trailer, it doesn't look as bad as my first take). I really liked the parts that evoked the experience of a busy living city, as opposed to the parts that communicated a cold clean crisp one. May just be the difference between the slums and what is above the plate? Hunger games anyone?
. I hope they come up with some fresh music too. AC music does little for me any more. Even if they do change it, I'm rather pessimistic as to what will appear in the end product. I think I have creative differences in that regard with production
. I imagine FFVII completely differently to them.
Despite that, I certainly look forward to a re-imagining of everything. Especially the Safer Sephiroth battle. It'll be interesting to see how they handle Aerith's death as well. It'll probably never have the same impact as the original. I just hope it ain't corny and contrived.
I'm probably being too optimistic with my desires and expectations
.
Also, it might be possible that a lot of this footage is just for show, and won't appear in the final product.
