Who made the reveal trailer?

Did Nomura even have any involvement in the creation of the E3 reveal trailer? He has said that the soldiers in it wont be seen again. It kinda seems like the people who made it just did their own thing with it. But Nomura seems to be fighting against that to make things as faithful to the original as possible.

I know Nomura has a habit of making sort of proof of concept cinematic things like deep dive and the Versus trailers, then ends up shoehorning the ideas into the actual game. So I'm not sure what's going on.

I was under the impression that at Square, Yusuke Naora tends to manage CG cinematics, both for in-game and promotional purposes. Given that he was also the art director of the OG (and the compliation of VII), I think that should help the development of visual assets for the remake.

CyberConnect2, who is co-developing the remake, made the reveal trailer. Speaking of them, it's rather interesting to look back at these articles from last year now:

CyberConnect2 Want To Work On Final Fantasy VII Remake

When asked in an interview on his work preferences for the future, president of CyberConnect2; Hiroshi Matsuyama said:

“For now I’m really dedicated to adaptations of Naruto and JJBA. Working on a new project requires more time as was the case. The .Hacks came out of the minds of teams at CyberConnect2. However, if I have to work on another project I’d like to work on a possible remake of Final Fantasy VII.”

Final Fantasy VII Bike Game Could Pave the Path to a Full Remake

As can be gathered from the trailer, G-Bike will be a stand-alone adaptation of the biking minigame from Final Fantasy VII with added features like jumping, sliding, magic, limit breaks, and other Final Fantasy VII-esque elements. The game will be in a free-to-play format and will be the first of a series, with other games to follow.

Kitase will act as producer for G-Bike. Asked where the game stands Kitase stated, "Well, FFVII has many spin-off pieces and for the fans, its image has spread rather diversely, so I feel that G-Bike will set the standard of if we were to make new a VII related piece now. If more is to come, this is the starting point, so both myself and Nomura are closely observing its quality."

Asked a follow-up on the possibility of a modern remake of Final Fantasy VII, Kitase laughed, "Who knows? Mr. Matsuyama [of Cyber Connect 2] is making the foundation, and after the path has been paved, we might think about making it... At least that's what could happen. In terms of the quality level and consumer response, it may all depend on [G-Bike]. We're looking forward to the results."

Coy bastards. Must have been fun sitting on the remake secret. =P
