That was just a posturing narration. It's like "the events of FFVII happened and look at the world now... but now let's relive those events!" Just a slightly dumb way to build up to the announcement. Like when they had that bit about 'the fifteenth coming' on the Versus XIII trailer 2 years ago when the name changed. It wasn't related to the game at all it was just there to make people lose their minds. Same deal here ^_^

I do wonder how much of the extended canon if any they'll try and work in. Like for me... I'd really like to see Zack's role expanded a bit where appropriate from the events of Crisis Core. But similarly I don't want to see Genesis ever again as long as I live. So it's give and take.

The visuals for this game already look better than the CGI in Advent Children.
Bear in mind what we've seen so far is​ CGI. None of this is in-engine.
