This is the same version that Square Enix released on its own digital dowload store a few months ago. Saves can now be stored on the Steam cloud and have spawned all sorts of "Cloud Saves" references! The character boost functionality is also there allowing you to fully pimp out your roster from the word go if you're only interested in the story. There's also no differences between the achievements either with the simplest requiring you to win your first battle to the ludicrous and, arguably the most time consuming one, to master ALL of the Materia!
If you've missed living the life of an eco-terrorist or just want to re-live that certain death scene all over again then this is definitely worth picking up. If you never played VII then here's your chance to find out just what most older Final Fantasy fans harp on about till the cows come home. Bear in mind though that the pre-rendered backdrops do look very rough around the edges though, especially at higher resolutions!
Prices vary by region but won't really break the bank.
This also means that we'll likely see Final Fantasy VIII pop-up on the Steam store in the near future too!
Will you be picking this up? Or perhaps you already purchased it from the Square Enix store and are miffed that you can't have those all important cheevos on your Steam profile? Rage on, below!
[Thanks to Pike for picking up on this early: http://home.eyesonff.com/final-fanta...ml#post3280673 ]
