Hey all, long time no see.
Recently some footage the demo CD that was included in the June 1996 issue of PlayStation Club got uploaded. This CD includes an interview with Sakaguchi and features some new and familiar footage of a very early FFVII prototype, plus some SGI demo footage as well. I know some of the footage shows off areas that appeared in magazine previews, but I believe this is the first time they were shown off in motion:
Some of the prototype footage was featured in this development footage from FF7 Int:
What's new however, is the footage of Cloud walking through the Midgar sectors and reactors, as well as some interior house maps as well. Apparently Cloud doesn't know how to run yet.
I extracted the raw video from the disc, but the quality is terrible. The file also contains an interview for Jumping Flash!, but the Sakaguchi interview with the footage appears in 1:52 in the video. The time stamp for the video file is 3/13/96, so the prototype featured is dated no later than that.
Some Japanese FFVII commercials were also featured in a later issue of PlayStation Club. I don't know if this was ever shown before. Check out that Bombing Mission remix! There's some in game footage here and there as well. See anything prototype-ish?
