This was some of thee best video game directing. Those slow panel shots, the calm atmosphere of tranquility after the first shot. How can you not get goose bumps during this scene. It's humanity vs nature.

I used to be excited to get to this part everytime as a kid, its just so awesome to me.

this was my favorite cut scene in the game

The second that silence was broken and sapphire continues to draw closer must have been the most terrifying thing for the shinra soldiers.

I like how everyone is all chill when they thought they killed it, then they start to panic lol

Definitely one of the most epic FF cutscenes.

This direction style truly feels like it's something from evangelion.

When the alarms sounded and it started coming to the shore and they open fire with multiple guns, to where you see that steady stream of cannon fire coming at it. This scene blew me away back then, especially that lucky shot by Shinra, taking its head off. I soooo hope that this scene will be in the remake and even better than before!

I can't wait for this to be remastered. It's a little different as an adult, but this was my favorite part of the game. I redid the mission countless times just to watch this scene again and again.

“Well, we tried everything, might as well-” “Cannon loaded again!” *”ALRIGHT FIRE!”*

One of the defining moments of FF7, their enemy is not only Shinra, not only Sephiroth, they’ve got bigger problems now

Those weapons looks like Made from Mysterious Machines and Materials build by ancient civilizations to protect the earth from any threats

Sapphire Weapon sent chills when I saw this scene for the first time 👀

I hope Sapphire survives and we get to fight him in the remake. Also that mouth beam attack needs to cause a lot more damage than that tiny little gash.

Dude sapphire weapons face is fuckin nightmare fuel.

I think my favourite thing about this scene is that Shinra actually managed to kill it themselves. Usually in media giant creatures like this end up not being affected by guns and missiles at all, but here Shinra blew its head off with the Junon cannon.

Who’s waiting to see this scene in the remake?

Don't lose your head over things, Sapphire.

I hope in the remake we will be able to fight it. Maybe they could add more of them, too. Like, Omega Weapon. Of course, I would still want them to make the remake as close to the original version, but still... Sapphire was so cool. >.>

The weapons are basically Kaiju. Mountain sized beasts sent to cleanse the earth. I love that! 🤩

Would be cool if we have an actual boss fight against Sapphire Weapon in the Remake.

3:27 Sapphire Weapon: I'm gonna rid the world of these contraptions. Sister Ray Cannon: Oh, no, you don't.

not very smart of it positioning its head in front of the canon.

that game was like a one in a lifetime kind of epic.. the kind that can't be remade... ever...

Sapphire is the most awesome of the weapons!

Curb your enthusiasm should have played at the end there.

Even more nerve wracking that emerald is also beneath the surface 😂

I had to watch this cutscene like 5 times since I had not leveled Yuffie, Cait Sith, or Barret and I kept dying.

Video game logic prevails over Hollywood... When giant monster appears, don't shoot it with your rifles, bring in the rocket launchers and heavy artillery.

That gigantic wonder of nature of theirs ... now extinct. 😿

I didnt even knew sapphire weapon was in the game...i brought dishonour to my family.

Thank god for the junon cannon. One less weapon I had to fight in the game. I think I beat emerald once but could never do ruby.

I do look forward to seeing what they do with Sapphire and other WEAPONS in the Final Fantasy VII Remake series. I assume Junon will look more like a giant Port town and have Sapphire damaging more of the city/town itself? Maybe weaving through the streets or even tanking that first and second cannon shot and being driven off, so we can fight and finish it off later in the game? For Ruby weapon it will probably be changed to attacking the Golden Saucer this time? As it's near the location where it was located in the original game and Square does seem to enjoy these large-scale destruction scenes, especially in later games like in FFIX where the Party witnessed several cities and a planet being annihilated. So Ruby attacking the Golden Saucer feels right thematically. Ultima I think it could be reworked into an Aerial Battle, maybe even running interference for Diamond Weapon, keeping the Highwind and presumably the rest of Avalanche away? The fight against Ultima Weapon could be an aerial battle like the Celsius Battles from FFX? Maybe a mini-game with the Highwind deploying weapons to attack and wear down Ultima? I think Diamond's fight could remain mostly the same, with elements of Avalanche or Shinra's own military deployed against it, to try and slow its approach to Midgar down?

Maybe the BEST cinematic scene in a videogame ever doing?

That cannon is fucking beast.

When I was young I didn't know what the name of Sapphire Weapon was, so going by the names of the others I headcanon'd it as "Obsidian Weapon" because I thought it sounded cool as fuck.

I always like to jokingly think Sapphire Weapon actually went there to free Tifa and ended up sacrificing himself for her well being.

Oh, hello divine intervention kaiju. I'd like to introduce you to a friend of mine. It's name is "gun".

IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZ-Boom!

once you realise the weapons are the good guys, its sucks when you fight them

after 25 years i now know his name......

That cannon must be strong af

Imagine having to fight that. Scary

Wonder how much damage that point blank face shot did, that thing probably rocked break damage limit before it was cool.

Shinra kills 2 weapons. 2 balls

I always think that was emerald, but he has head :D at this point.

After seeing Ruby Weapon in FFXIV, can't wait to see how they handle Sapphire considering it just gets nuked here.

Sister Ray apparently does millions of hp damage

Am I the only one that thinks this weapon is sick!?

monsters designed by Tetsuya Nomura is fuckin cool!!!!

Guna have to play this again some day for old times sake.. if I can get hold of a copy.

This thing had the coolest design, yet it was the most pathetic of all the Weapons. Hope the remake does it justice.

remember watching this as a young lad thinkn the graphics was GG

What would be cool is if all the ff7 weapons as summons or limit nreaks in future final fantasy games. Or maybe make guest appearances in other games

Sapphire weapon was doin the gecko wink

I always thought that this weapon was actually emerald, who somehow is kinda "headless"...

i would love to know what it would had been like to fight sapp weapon in the game.

Well I haven't seen that in a long ass time.

Thanks for the watermark.

Boom headshot

Gojira!!!!!

Feels a little like evangalion

I hope the remake up to this point would let US shoot the cannon.

Crt monitors

Godzilla, eat your heart out XD

right below it was the far stronger emerald weapon and it didnt help its mate

Oh hi Heidegger the guy who I can never remember the name of so I just call the green fat Shrina guy

Yeah.

What is the name of the song when the video began?

Poor Ricon

1:50 Attack of the weapon !!!

This is coming out in HD!!!!

What song is this when the cannon is getting ready to fire?

Was there a sapphire weapon at all, ever?...

3:29 OPEN WIDE BITCH!

Did about as much damage as Tifa slap fight

Best weapon coming through.

Why does I get a little uncomfortable when I see Sapphire Weapon's face?

Why where two weapons targeting this canon/ these reactors? Wasn't Sephiroth a *much* bigger treat to the world?

2020

FF7 is the best videogame, but I still think how dumb the weapon was standing in front of the canon.

You do know its not sapphire weapon, its just weapon. and its that way for some weird reason.

Activate! Dont bring into this reality.

stupid question. its dead now right?

Hola. ::::All are created by God. His one son died and revived afterwards to rid us of any wrong doing. His name is Jesus)::::: Breathe air

Sister ray killed 2 WEAPONS and destroyed BARRIER at north. Think whatever, but Shinra was great in doing that. How game will proceed if Cloud could not destroy barrier ?

I love Rufus how strategic he is
