Since I was in the process of putting together a museum display for the original Final Fantasy 7, I figured I'd put some footage together of the "Tifa" Demo included on the FF7 Squaresoft on PlayStation Disc from 1997.
From Wiki -
The Tifa demo released in mid-1997 was the game's second playable demo that originally appeared in PlayStation Underground 2 on a dedicated Squaresoft demo disc. The disc also contained a playable demo of Bushido Blade, as well as video previews of Bushido Blade, Saga Frontier, and Final Fantasy Tactics. Square later re-used this demo disc as their own promotional item.
Both PlayStation demos include the opening bombing mission right up until the explosion. While the Aeris demo was made during an earlier stage of the game's development, having numerous differences, the Tifa version represents the final version with only minor differences. Additionally, both demos include elements not accessible at this point in the final game, such as already-leveled-up Materia, a summon, and a third party member. The purpose of this is probably to show as many features of the final game as possible while keeping the demo reasonably short.
