This is Square. At this rate, it will probably be 3-5 years before we see the remake finished. They haven't even completed 15, or KH3, in that order. 7 Remake will be on the back burner. My hunch is that that cgi trailer was nothing but hype to build back their waning fanbase, and that the game won't come out for years and years to come.
Play original VII, but be prepared to be dissappointed in the graphics department and localization. As you may have heard, VII was plagued with spelling and grammar errors. "This guy are sick." ~Aeris, FFVII. Although, it could make it more charming and enjoyable, in that sense.
The music, atmosphere, and background art will absolutely enthrall you. Nobuo's midi soundtrack, and the pre-rendered backgrounds mesh beautifully together. However, the boxy, basketball-sized tumors on character arms and legs will take you out of the fantasy. You may or may not find this annoying, or charming.
Play original VII. You could beat this game 5 times, and Remake still won't have a gameplay trailer out. Have fun with your new PS4! Add me if you want: Solid_ian.
