Square Enix then released a full-length trailer on YouTube.The trailer teases several key moments from the original game--including one beloved character's untimely fate (if you know, you know). It also foreshadows a very messy situation Cloud must soon confront, as he tells Tifa: "Sometimes I don't even know who I am. I forget things everyone else remembers just fine, and know things I've got no right knowing."Interestingly enough, the trailer also heavily features Zack Fair, the protagonist of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and an older brother figure of sorts to Cloud.
