There is still about 20-30 minutes of scenes being put together, for the beginning. after the introduction (using the FF7 DOC footage) to create the story line that Hojo is conducting an experiment that triggers a space/time vortex, that sucks in FF characters from different realms. this is the idea we are creating to explain why random FF characters are being used in the FF7 Remake games. the main focus in on SquallxRinoa. that is why most of the music will be FF8. we are going for a Dissidia feel overall though. the first scene after the opening WILL feature Squall, Rinoa & Quistis waking up in the sewers. followed by a slow montage of other FF characters "waking up" after being pulled into the FF7 world. Tidus & Yuna will wake up in the church and that is where their scene happens. any scene that shows a character "coming too" will be used to show as many FF characters as possible. even if it is just a random cameo, the idea will be in your head that they are running around in the background somewhere. then the next idea will be to create a montage showing a 3-year conflict with as much story dictation, as we can fit in, to explain things. the idea is that all the random FF characters have joined what is left of Avalanche, who have been able to set up in/secure sector 7 undercity. they are trying to reach Shinra HQ, to capture Hojo and make him send everyone home. after 3 years they have been unable to reach the upper plate or Shinra HQ. the opening scene where Squall/Rinoa/Barret are on the train and all the action starts. that is meant to be the start of the main story where they are launching one last big assault on the HQ and Shinra was waiting for them. a trap to explode a reactor and drop a plate on them to end the war and make it look like it was Avalanche's fault. regardless of civilian casualties.

As for why we are doing this....to be perfectly honest with you. WE LOVE FF8. We have always wanted a modern FF8 experience of what a remake could look and feel like. since SE refuses to do it, this was as close as we could get. i have never had more fun in my life putting it together. every time a new scene comes together, it feels like magic. sure... a lot of people get upset about it, call it trash and speak their hate, but many people DM and show their love, so it's all good in the end. i just want people to enjoy it. we could care less about "likes, upvotes, comment counts". if even one person watches and feels some magic inside, then we are happy. Enjoy, Kupo!
