Sony no doubt go through all the footage that is going to be shown on theit stage well before the show starts.
A.k.a. Shuhei Yoshida did it on purpose to troll us.

You gotta admit, as much as it sucked when we realised that it wasn't a remake, those 15 or so seconds when we thought for sure that it had to be a remake (why else would this guy be on stage with the FF VII logo?) felt pretty awesome.

Yeah, I'm gonna chase that high and forget the withdrawl effects.
