The game will receive the longest-ever TV commercial on terrestrial television (according to data by CM Research Institute), clocking at an appropriate seven minutes.

It will be be a live-action commercial aired at around midnight between November 2 and November 3 during the program NS 27-jikan Terebi ni Honno Sports Wa Tsuyo Itsu!, which runs for 27 hours from 6:30 PM Japan time to 9:54 PM Japan time the day after.

The commercial will star three popular Japanese actors, Masataka Kubota (Tokyo Ghoul S, Taira no Kiyomori, Death Note), Misato Morita (Naked Director, I Turn, Deadstock: Michi e no Chosen), and Tetsuji Tamayama (Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger, Lupin III, Casshern, Rockers).

In the clip, Kubota-san will play the role of a cool salaryman who never played Final Fantasy VII, Morita-san will play a lady who has watched her brother play the game when she was a child, and Tamayama will be an enthusiastic fan. During the short story, Kubota-san will become gradually interested in the remake.

While we’ll have to wait a couple of days to watch the commercial itself, the first images have been released, and you can enjoy them below.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
