Vampire Survivors Trailer Recreates Classic Final Fantasy 7 Teaser
To celebrate the launch of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Vampire Survivors studio Poncle has put out a Vampire Survivors trailer that is a shot-for-shot remake of the classic FF7 teaser. The studio also dropped the Space54 update, which includes new characters, a new stage, and new weapons.
The trailer recreates each shot from the original FF7 teaser, albeit in 2D and with Vampire Survivors assets and sprites. It replaces the review quotes from the teaser with quotes from Vampire Survivors’ Steam reviews. It also rearranges the original teaser trailer music by Steve Baker into a more Vampire Survivors tenor. The trailer displays “Only (not) on PlayStation,” which the trailer description notes is “a sad truth at the time of publishing, not a statement of intent.”
Why make this little tribute? The studio said, “Because we had the original trailer on a PlayStation demo disk and watched it on loop so now it’s scored into our brains. Plus the team is extremely hyped for Rebirth. What better way to celebrate than with a trailer of our own?”
