It's actually out for real now.

Ugh. I just can't get over the laziness of this re-release. XD

They should have really. Though it only takes about 10 seconds (plus download time) to put the ogg versions of the remaster in your music_ogg folder yourself :P
It's nice that they left it open in that way and didn't use some proprietary format or encrypt them inside the exe or anything as you can just replace it with whatever you want.

Wasn't sure I liked them at first, but gave them a second chance and yeah. Love it. I nearly weed myself when I fought the first boss - they did a cracking job with the intro to that track :kakapo:

I say again: were you seriously counting on Square-Enix not to phone this one in?

i seriously thought they were going to not phone it in

They pretty much said they were going to phone it in. They said they weren't going to put in effort to remake FFVII until they made a game that surpassed it, so...

I'm just waiting to see if the Cosmo Canyon and Chocobo Race bugs are still in game.

I mean, they left in the Eidos Interactive movie and Squaresoft logo, even though those companies didn't handle this version.

Who things the game breaking glitches are left in too? Anyone?

That is pretty pathetic.

Wow.

I actually inquired via email to Square-Enix why I should buy this PC rerelease. This is what they sent me in reply:

Real subtle, Square-Enix.

That could well mean they're going to leave it until we're once again back to sucking enough of their dicks and giving them enough money. Very audacious of them, but unfortunately I'm not surprised.
