Really poor choice. All you need is either the original PC release or the Steam version and Reunion.I must say, I've been curious about FF7 OG for many years but never got around to playing past the first battle in the train station (about 2 minutes in). But I finally obtained a copy after much anguish, indecision and research on which port or version to play (there must be at least 10 of them by now not including the remakes and spinoffs). Considered the PSX original in emulation but I want at least some QoL stuff. So I finally settled on the Switch version. Seems to give the most authentic experience with even original MIDI music and 15 FPS in battle, and bug fixes, of course. May the God of jRPG Emus be with me.
Screw that. Emulate original PSX for zero fucking around, absolute stability, OG quality, and most notably HardType romhack if you've played the game even once before. That Reunion mod, a good chunk of it is in fixing the game to be more like the PSX version. The dealbreaker is no HardType mod though.
Still, yes, the ultimate poor choice is initial PC release with MIDI music...that's just playing the game wrong, no two ways about it.
