How One Late Change Helped Cement FFVII's Legacy

Video Description

FFVII's creators have repeatedly remarked that Sephiroth's handling was inspired by the movie Jaws—and his slow, suspenseful reveal bears the claim out. However, things weren't always as they are today. We take a look at a hefty scrapped sequence that may have endangered the tense buildup of FFVII's famous villain. Background music: "On That Day 5 Years Ago, LoFi & Chill Mix," "7 Seconds till the End, LoFi & Chill Mix," "Anxious Heart, LoFi & Chill Mix," and "Those Chosen by the Planet, LoFi & Chill Mix," by @Sing4DLaughter Interview footage: "Kenny Omega x Yoshinori Kitase, Special FFVII Interview," by @squareenix We are incredibly grateful to Shademp, Jason Maltz, the staff behind 7th Heaven, the folks on Qhimm's forums, and all other members of FFVII's magnificent modding community, past and present, for forging and discovering the tools and material to make Shinra Arch's work possible. We are ever mindful that we stand on the shoulders of giants. (Note: All FFVII footage taken from SAC unless otherwise indicated.) #ffvii #ffviiremake #rpg #jrpg #finalfantasy #ps1 #modding
