Thread: Article: Final Fantasy VII PC Rerelease

  1. #1

    Default Final Fantasy VII re-released confirmed by Square Enix!

    Final Fantasy VII's PC rerelease is happening | RPG Site

    Square Enix has just confirmed that Final Fantasy VII's PC rerelease is real.

    We reported that Square Enix had working versions of the PC ports for FF7 and FF8 on Steam back in June of 2011. Rumours resurfaced last month, a year on, when an official website for the game was accidentally leaked by a Square Enix blunder.

    That website is now online.
    IT IS HAPPENING. YES.

    I hope you aren't thinking that this is an actual re-make with updated graphics and such. All it is is a re-release of the same game from the late 90's.

    Nice. Might actually pick this up through Steam and mod it.

    It does unfortunately look like this won't be using Steam. The 'Character Booster' is kind of funny, basically letting you cheat without modding it.

    Another thing that just humorously crossed my mind is the whole notion of "Cloud Saves", considering the protagonist.

    Ohh...everysite that reported this seems to have tripped that joke as well.

    Anyways I'm definitely picking this up on steam!

    I won't get it unless it's released on Steam. Ah who am I kidding of course I will.

    Not really a big deal for me... but being honest with myself I will probably end up buying it somewhere down the road.

    Yeah, that "Character Booster" thing is incredibly lame.

    Unless they've done SOMETHING to make it superior to past releases, like, updated the resolution, or given it decent resolution FMVs, I won't be buying it.

    On the website, the minimum system requirements say you need at least 1GB of RAM and a 2GHZ processor. That's either a gross exaggeration, or they really did enhance it somewhere, because the original game, be it the PlayStation version, the PC version, or the PlayStation version enhanced through an emulator, doesn't take anywhere near that to run.

    I'll wait until someone else buys it and reveals the differences, if any.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    I think that's just a result of them re-packaging it for DirectX9, not so much them increasing the quality or resolution. It's be nice if they re-rendered all of the background images to a higher resolution, at least in this day and age the rendering times would be nothing but they also would have to get digital painters to paint over them (they did this with FF8 and 9 as well) and then splice them up to work in the engine they use. That could take them quite a bit of time, and probably don't have the budget to deligate resources to.

    Character descriptions - Cid:
    "a tough-talking, warm-hearted old pilot"
    Age: 32

    (I'm 30)
    ("Old")


    Anyway, looking forward to it! Any excuse to re-play that game!

    Lol, just remember most rpg's are made for kids who have barely started puberty. And these kids that have barely started puberty don't want to think that they are to young to go on these grand adventures. They want to think that they are just the right age.

    FF7 actually isn't as bad about the character ages as most rpg's are. Cloud, Tifa, and Aeris are actualy several years older than most main characters in rpg's are.
