Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 Reveal: Fans Go Euphoric Over the Trailer
“I'm so hyped I can't sit still — I've just been watching every YouTuber's reaction video...”

テンションが上がり過ぎて色んなユーチューバの感想動画見てる...

— @shnk713

On the reveal of Final Fantasy VII Remake's third and final entry (called "Liberation" in the Japanese coverage), Japanese fans went fully euphoric. The top comments admit they're "too hyped to sit still" and binging every reaction video, then turn surprisingly reverent — deep respect that today's Square Enix rebuilt FF7 from scratch, and trust that they'll land it because Rebirth already proved they can. Threaded under all the excitement is a quieter, teary note about Cloud's gentler voice in the trailer, building to a closing wish that this team get to make every Final Fantasy from here on out.

Japanese fan reactions (excerpted from 526)

  • Same lol

    一緒w

  • Everyone I watched was feeling both the excitement and a little sadness that it's all about to end! I don't even let those red-text hater thumbnails into my view, so I wouldn't know about those.

    @tongaricorn104自分が見た人達はみんな楽しみと終わってしまう寂しさを感じてました! 赤文字批判サムネは視界に入れないので分からないです

  • When a reveal like this drops, it's not complete until you've watched all the game channels' reactions!

    こういう発表があった時は ゲームチャンネルさん達のリアクションを見るまでがセット！

  • The fact that today's Square Enix staff rebuilt this incredible thing that is FF7 from the ground up — that's a huge, huge deal to me. I really hope they carry everything they've learned into the next Final Fantasy.

    今のスクエニスタッフがこの面白いFF7というコンテンツの世界を一から作り上げたっていう事が凄く大きな価値だと思う。この経験を次のFFの世界に役立ててほしい

  • What makes this so reassuring is that they already pulled most of it off with Rebirth — so you can actually trust them to deliver.

    これ嬉しいのはリバースの時点であらかた実現させてるから ちゃんとできると信頼できること

  • I want this team to make FF17 and everything after it too. It's just too perfect a finished form.

    ff17以降の作品もこのチームに作って欲しい。 完成系すぎる。

  • FF7 is special. It's in a class of its own.

    ７は特別、別格なんですよ。

    — @JPN850R17 likes

  • Honestly the battle system is good enough that it should be the base for all future Final Fantasy games.

    もうバトルシステムは今後のffのベースにすべきぐらいだと思う

    — @笑顔-n5m17 likes

  • Unlike TES and The Witcher, which haven't put out a new game since 2011 and 2015, they've actually delivered all of FF7 — you have to respect that.

    2011年や2015年から一向に新作が発売されないTESやウィッチャーと違ってきちんとFF7全部出してきたのは素直に凄い。

  • This is shaping up to be one of the greatest trilogies in gaming history, no doubt about it.

    これはもう… ゲーム史上最高クラスの三部作になりそうですね

  • The trailer ran a full five minutes, and the battles, maps and systems all look basically done. Hamaguchi said he's already cleared his test runs 40+ times, and you can feel from the footage that a spring release next year is locked in. The dev team's sheer passion for this project is genuinely overwhelming.

    映像紹介も５分と長かったし、バトルやマップやシステムもほぼ完成してるんじゃないかと思わせる出来、浜口さんもクリアテストを40回以上されてると仰ってたし、映像からもこれは確実に来年春の発売は間違い無いというスケジュール感を感じる。 ホントにこの作品における制作陣の熱量は圧巻の一言。

  • The only thing I'm worried about is the story. Everything else I'm not worried about at all.

    心配なのはストーリーだけっす それ以外はあんま心配してない

  • I'd heard development was going smoothly, but honestly I didn't expect them to announce it this soon 😇 The reveal sent my hype through the roof. Personally, being able to play as Cid and Vincent makes me so happy.

    開発段階は順調とは聞いていましたけど こんな早くに発表されるとは正直思いませんでした😇 告知されてテンション上がりました 個人的にシドとヴィンセントも使えるようになったのが嬉しいですね

  • Joji Nakata reposted the official announcement, so it's pretty much confirmed Weiss is going to be heavily involved — can't wait.

    中田譲治さんが正式発表をリポストしてたからヴァイスががっつり絡んでくるのほぼ確定してて楽しみ

  • Just knowing the day has finally come where you can play as Cid in the Remake — my satisfaction meter is already maxed out.

    ついにリメイク版でシドが使える時が来るというだけで既に満足度はカンストしてる。

  • A Vincent-and-Cid combo is literally a Dragoon riding a dragon into battle 🐲

    ヴィンセントとシドの連携はまさに竜に乗って戦う竜騎士ですね🐲

  • I love that they insist on 'Vincent' with the proper pronunciation instead of the lazy spelling. So good.

    ビンセントじゃなくてヴィンセントってこだわってるとこスコ

    — @心うーみん36 likes

  • You can really feel the care they put into how Vincent's name is pronounced!

    ヴィンセントの発音にこだわりを感じる！

  • Just to add — the 'wear' system apparently lets you layer outfits so you can equip a wear and still keep the default clothes on. Love that!

    補足するとウェアシステムはウェア着てもデフォルトの服も着れる重ね着機能もあるみたいでよいですね！

  • They really get how the players feel, huh. Thank you 😊

    ミニゲームで気になるのはスノボもそうだけど ティファvsスカーレットのビンタ合戦もｗ

  • If anything that's the main event lol

  • In the original I sank god knows how many hours into just the snowboarding and Chocobo racing. So hyped.

    原作はスノボとチョコボレースだけでどんだけ遊べたことか。楽しみです。

  • I'm gonna replay Remake and Rebirth right before this drops. The total volume is going to be absurd. So pumped.

  • I picked games back up with the 2020 Remake and started watching Tetsuo's videos — it's already been six years, huh... This reveal brought joy, but also a little sadness now that the end is in sight. Still, I can't wait!

    2020年のリメイクから久しぶりにゲームやり始め、てつおさんの動画を観るようになってもう6年になるのか...今回の発表嬉しさと終わりが見えたことによるちょっとした寂しさもあった。でも楽しみだ！

  • Compared to Remake, the way Cloud talks in Liberation is brighter, and it really got to me…

    リメイクと比べて、リベレーションのクラウドの話し方が明るくて感慨深かった…

  • Cloud's voice at the very end of the trailer — that's the real Cloud, isn't it. It's so gentle and calm that I just started crying.

    トレーラーの最後のクラウドの声が 本来のクラウドだよね声が穏やかすぎてもう泣いた
