This reminded me of Aerith's death being spoiled on the back of the European FF7 case.

it doesn't spoil anything, you only know that's what's happening in the picture because you've seen it in game

I mean, I haven't seen it in game and I know what's happening. FF7 is the Empire Strikes Back of video games in that regard.

Well yeah, that's the point. We all know what happens. Hence why we can see that pic and say "Oh yeah she dead." as opposed to seeing it with no knowledge of the game and probably thinking "She sleep".

The American commercial for FF7 (which I saw before buying the game) was even more obvious about it: it had that exact shot paired with the voiceover line 'a love that can never be,' or something very similar. Even as a kid, that told me that she either dies or permanently leaves the party.

I mean, it's either a burial or a baptism, and I've never seen a preacher with hair like that.

I'm pretty sure all of Nier Automata's "movie bar" cutscenes are also FMVs, as costume changes aren't reflected in them and my computer was pulling a steady 30 on them. FMVs generally stick out like a sore thumb on ports of last-gen games; most of Resident Evil 5's QTE cutscenes were FMVs and they're now lower quality than the rest of the game. Even RE6, which has way wackier action than 5, still had to lean on FMVs for 2 cutscenes.
