Today Square Enix had an interesting announcement to share about the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake, and specifically about a TV Commercial.
The game will receive the longest-ever TV commercial on terrestrial television (according to data by CM Research Institute), clocking at an appropriate seven minutes.
It will be be a live-action commercial aired at around midnight between November 2 and November 3 during the program NS 27-jikan Terebi ni Honno Sports Wa Tsuyo Itsu!, which runs for 27 hours from 6:30 PM Japan time to 9:54 PM Japan time the day after.
The commercial will star three popular Japanese actors, Masataka Kubota (Tokyo Ghoul S, Taira no Kiyomori, Death Note), Misato Morita (Naked Director, I Turn, Deadstock: Michi e no Chosen), and Tetsuji Tamayama (Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger, Lupin III, Casshern, Rockers).
In the clip, Kubota-san will play the role of a cool salaryman who never played Final Fantasy VII, Morita-san will play a lady who has watched her brother play the game when she was a child, and Tamayama will be an enthusiastic fan. During the short story, Kubota-san will become gradually interested in the remake.
While we’ll have to wait a couple of days to watch the commercial itself, the first images have been released, and you can enjoy them below.
