I would always spend the night at my beach side villa with Tifa and Yuffie.

Hetero scum.

People really thought this was fun? Talk about being on rails.

That's kind of the point of jrpgs, but what bothered me the most about FFVII was the incomprehensible plot (one of the worst translations I've ever seen, and knowing the Japanese the plot was probably a load of random pseudo-intellectual bullshit anyway in the original version) and the overall kitchen-sink approach to design. The music didn't help either (there's a few nice pieces, but it's mostly garbage). It's a nice experiment if you take into account the fact that it was the first 3D game in the series, but as a game it's pretty horrible.

And from the look of things I gather they still didn't fix one of the biggest issues FFVII had (and the only one that could be fixed at this point) - the translation - in the re-release?

Yeah, this just looks like a zero-effort cash grab to take advantage of all the people that are nostalgic about FF7. I also loved FF7 when I was 14 (probably the right age for it), but I'm waiting for a proper HD remake - of course, that might also be a train wreck.

That's Square Enix for you.

I still have my ps1 and copy of ff7 from 15 years ago if I really want to play it again for nostalgia's sake so to hell with this cash grab.

Btw, fuck Xenogears for the over thought and drawn out story and its shitty combat. The game was released half finished, but unlike other unfinished 'gems' (anything by Obsidian) the game could not hold my interest. The only square game I hated more was FF8, but that is probably because I haven't played any console games since the ps1 era.

Who knows, but it has been a Steam top seller since they put it on there, so apparently there is some interest.

Bet a fuckton of people buy it to own it and never play it past their first nostalgic few minutes! Not that there's anything wrong with it. If it takes five hundred non-player nostalgics to have the game on Steam for one sperg who really wants to play it, well, everyone wins, huh?

Yeah, this just looks like a zero-effort cash grab to take advantage of all the people that are nostalgic about FF7.

FF7 was ported to PC aaages ago. Only platform I've ever played it on, back in the days where you'd actually order physical products on Amazon and terk our jobs. Putting it on Steam is less than zero effort! Just a distribution rights deal.

Does this version use MIDI for the music?

I read they replaced the music files with MIDI. luls

Yes it uses the same shitty music the original PC version used back in the day. There are fan mods to replace it with the PSX music. Very lazy re-release though.

Thanks! This would probably sound really fucking sweet on my JV-1080 or Sound Canvas. <3
