Today, during The Game Awards 2019, Square Enix — as it said it would — released a brand new Final Fantasy 7 remake trailer that focuses all on Cloud Strife, the game’s protagonist. At this point, we’ve seen and heard just about everything there is know about the game, however, the trailer does feature brand new footage of the remake of the classic 90s game. And just like previous trailers, it’s amazing how familiar yet completely different it looks. Graphical improvements are often underlooked, but as you can see below, a few decades can make a world of difference.
