One thing that the remake forgot is tearing off Shinra’s name

Love how they crash into the Shinra logo for no reason other than that they just hate them so much

This was the moment i realized I was playing not just a Final Fantasy game, but something very special.

I'm glad the remake kept the pickup truck comically small. Something about the awkwardness of seeing something that "mini" hauling ass, casually clearing indoor terrain totally unsuited for pedestrian vehicles - all while ferrying around a guy who looks like he could eat the fucking thing and a talking rat-dog makes the sequence especially charming.

Man ... even after 23 years the cutscene is still legendary.

im sure many people have asked this but why the hell doesn't barrett help cloud? he's got a mini gun attached to his arm for fuck sake.

even with all the tech we have these days, I will always think this cutscene looks amazing

The little details, like Barret beckoning Red XIII over and Tifa hitting the breaks for a split second to allow the four-legged beast to jump on, are what make this so special, even all these years later. I hope they embellish the seemingly small, like this, in the Remake.

I had a save file on my memory card specifically so I could rewatch this cutscene back then

Who is coming back watching this original after remake?

I remember I was really laughing my ass off when Barret takes the whole back of that tiny truck lol can’t wait for the remake

no matter what time you play this game, that cutscene will always be amazing

Imagine what this'll be like in the remake

Barret! With your machine gun in your arm, could you help me against the foes?

I only played this game on the switch (which is very recent) and this scene still blew me away.

One of the best moments in gaming history.

Experiencing this when it was new blew me away, i couldnt believe there was a game within a game like road rash

Little did I realize at the time as a kid, but this scene was one of those most responsible for my eventually becoming a game designer. It’s just...it’s everything great about gaming.

I think this is still one of my favorite sequences ever in a game, i remember playing this for the first time and being so shocked when you were suddenly playing a motorcycle chase since the whole game was just walking around and doing turn based battles up til that point

This scene is so Nostalgic, it hits you like a perfect breeze on a Monday morning.

Me: "These edibles arnt shit." Me and the boys 2 hours later getting a pizza from Dominos at 1 in the morning:

First time I had ever gotten goosebumps from a video game was when that music started and Cloud went down the stairs on a bike.

This sequence is so much cooler in the OG. The music still gives me goosebumps.

Still one of the greatest CGI cutscenes in a video game ive ever seen. So badass.

This is when cloud was a certified badass OG

This is that time when I thought "That's it, video games won't ever get better than this."

It's the first time I ever watch this and it gave me goosebumps, that's how good this is.

i’m playing ff7 for the first time and witnessing this scene was EVERYTHING as well as the minigame after it. just the moment you see cloud rolling down the stairs on that badass ‘cycle then them all breaking out the window you know you’re in for something great. so hyped. i knew this game had it all but my god it really has it all. loving it (god was it tricky to hit the bikers though...!) now i know where the monks from botw got the idea for the master cycle... awesome

This scene came out of nowhere and completely caught me off guard because of how different the controls were. I died in about 20 seconds

Remake's good and all... But nothing will ever ever replace how this sequence went down in the original!!!!! Beating Rufus, boss theme still playing while everyone's escaping and wondering if Cloud's OK... then bam.

I still dove the game despite its age.

been playing this game for years and this is the first time i noticed that Tifa has jiggle physics in the cutsenses

This is so old now, and the animation is could be even considered bad at an amateur level. Idk, it might be nostalgia, or it might be the music, but every time I watch it I feel like it's the coolest thing in the world.

Years will pass and this game is one of the best that a lot of people , including myself, will play over and over again, more that the remake. An excellent game is not the one who need the best graphics, is the one with a good story and his own difficult way to pass it

Absolute goddamn Banger. The simplistic soundfonts and samples being used become S tier synths in Uematsus godly hands.

This game did that scene better than the Remake, sadly.

Kinda looking forward to this chase in the remake, this was one of my favorite parts of ff7

So I just realized this after playing this game for about 17 years now. When Cloud busted the glass that had "Shin-Ra" embedded on it, the "n-Ra" broke off, but the "shi" stood on. "Shi" (死) is Japanese for "death". I knew that beforehand, I just never noticed it in the cutscene. Going back to this game after seeing the remake trailers is beyond baffling to me considering how much was packed into the 3-disc set.

I remember hearing the music and getting excited... then seeing cloud rumbling down the stairs and I was freaking out... then they show him downshift and take off and my mind was absolutely blown. Of all the parts of this game in my childhood, this one always held a special place in my heart

Barret: has a whole ass GATLING GUN FOR AN ARM, doesn't help you take out the shinra bike dudes. Your doing a good job, bro.

I’ve always liked the fact that these models look like action figures. Gives the feeling of playing with toys

0:24 tifa is one reckless driver

This is one of those things that was definitely cool when I first saw it as a kid, but seeing it now makes it so clear why this game has had such an impact, I still struggle to think of many RPGs today with such a badass sequence forget about back in the 90s.

Just encountered this part of the game for the first time on the switch. Had to be the most exciting part so far

Damn they even added Cloud's reflection onto the motercycle...Now that's attention to detail

it gives me such joy and nostalgia to watch this scene again....

Fantastic ending to the first arc, I know another comment said this, but this cutscene was also the moment I realized I was playing something spectacular

The fact that THIS RAN ON A PS1 is still amazing even today.

_Motorbike A. I :_ Ｓｈｉｎｒａ ｗａｎｔｓ ｔｏ ｋｎｏｗ ｙｏｕｒ ｌｏｃａｔｉｏｎ _Cloud: _*_Yes._*

This part was a pain in the on PC since the two attack buttons were on opposite sides of the keyboards

I still prefer the original over the remake. It only took 3 years to make, and you get to play as 9 characters instead of 4 or 5. I will say the remake did a very good job of the new chapters they added, though!

I dont care what anyone says. The remake did an incredible job of this.

I never expected this from a Final Fantasy game, until now, AND IT WAS A GODDAMN EPIC PART.

The built up here is so much better than in the remake. No cheesy lines/gary stu rescue.

Back in 97 seeing this was 😱😱😱😱😱😱

It blew my mind just how loaded this Final Fantasy game was for a PS1 title.

Such a great cutscene

That first shot Cloud riding the bike down the stairs always looked like he’s flapping around hanging on for dear life

Anyone else play this game at eight years old, grow up and now rides a motorcycle with this song getting stuck in their head also?

I remember playing this on the PS1. I really did not expect this level of cutscene.

Used to keep a save before the Rufus fight so I could replay this part. Lol. Was the coolest shit ever as a 7 year old. Cant wait to see how it gets my adrenaline pumping in the Remake!

This music is so effective on me, my foot loves it ! Loves the remake one and also the original one !

One of the best parts of the game!! Big Akira vibes

this part of the game was so fun... i remember i was surprised back in the day... also shooting hoops and games at gold saucer was sooo awesome too.. ff7 has everything. it must have taken the animators a long time for that bike cut scene... that was amazing too

The original song is so much better than the remake!

Im currently on first playthrough of this version and I never thought I would get excited in this game but I began to really get into it and this part made me think wow, this is awesome!

I was watching the scene play out and thinking "this is the kind of game that would start up a mini game about now but didn't expect it because of how these things dont happen anymore. When I saw the instructions screen I was like :0

When your trying to beat the traffic to be on work on time lol

I love this cutscene so badass😲

Honestly I would have been perfectly fine if this game was a disk longer, just to experience even more of midgar. Easily my favorite location of any ff game.

Played this on the original a few hours ago, and I gotta say this has got to be one of the most stressful moments in my years of gaming considering that this was so sudden and that I have no idea what the fuck I was doing because the controls were different. Absolutely epic.

I was 13 years old playing this scene now I’m playing the remake at 38

Damn, this is such a bop. 💃

I love how the mod just cuts right into the action instead of fading in.

Still better than the Remake’s version.

Yup. I'm so getting this game.

Back when I played this as a kid, my mind was fucking blown out of pure awe. They put so much heart and effort in just this little event alone. I seriously can't love ff7 enough.

awesome, so many memories from the 1990s

The chase is on...

I can’t wait to play this on my Switch!

This was the cut scene that put Cloud over the top for me. I knew he was more then some edgy mercenary when he drove tire first thru a window.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw this as a kid. God damn was this gangster

Tifa awoke the man in me

Not Cloud doing the Akira slide at the very end right before the boss fight!!! 3:10

Fresh after doing drag, Cloud gets on that motorcycle with his boyfriend dog and two gal pals in the truck as they speed off to escape the corrupt city

The excitement of kicking ass at this mini game is one of the jewels of my childhood.

Am I the only one who gets creeped out by early FMV's like these? 😂

0:18 wth is that door???

oh man this looks nice. It looks better than I.. HEY WAIT A MINUTE! You are using a mod aren't you?

Nice Kanada Slide at the end. 👍

The remake is better but the original soundtrack for this mission was the best

This blew my mind as a kid! Back then when I thought graphics couldn’t get better than this 😂

Considering these vehicles have been on display in the exhibition room for at least 7 years (as seen in Crisis Core), it's amazing that they were able to start at all, or even had fuel in them in first place.

When i see barret in the small car all i think is this is the scene when hulk visiting fat thor

This one did it better, I was disappointed they didn’t have the 0:22 part where they stop a moment for Red XIII and the music was just more clearer

Still love this scene WAY more than the remake version's. The remake's dialogue during this part seems cliche and repetitive, the action was way over the top as well, Cloud vehicle deathmatch ramming 20 shinra soldiers, they ofc shoot worse than star wars storm troopers, then theres a break in the pursuit for the new story sequence causing an interruption during an iconic scene. Conversely, the og scene had much better music (like the entire soundtrack), and without saying a word was more exciting, Cloud come to save the day on this motorcycle, this man either taught or took lessons from the T-1000 driving his motorcycle up the stairs and Tifa smashing the Shinra sign was hilarious. And ofc theres no break from the action. Once they smash out the window its just a badass burnout for Cloud 🤘

The first ten seconds just grabs you ❤

I play FF VII (PS 1) for the first time in 2020 and this part BLOW MY MIND

they totally used this for John Wick 3 😂

I'm playing Ff7 because the first time I was very young and this scene its so epic!!!!!
