Final Fantasy VII Now On Steam

[shakirmoledina]

release ff6 remastered in full 3d... that would be new and awesome

they did quite well with ff4

The original PC version with Aali's Custom Graphics Driver is better.

 

[Osha]

And yet they fail to deliver a real HD remake.

They're keeping it for when they're in deep shit.

Other than up-rezzing the display, what exactly makes this a remastered version? Also, I lol'ed when watching the "trailer" on Steam, because it's the exact same method used back for the PS1 commercials. Show only movie cutscenes and no actual gameplay.

As far as I knew, it was the same release as the PC version years ago, hopefully without such shitty MIDI instruments. Saves and "achievements" were slightly added as well.

So Square basically released a port and sold it as new, without changing much. At least in those GBA ports, there was recoding to be done; here, you're buying a game that already came out.

Only going to buy this since I no longer own my PSP

 

[Qtis]

Does it support mods? If it doesn't I'd rather just keep playing the original either from original disc or my Vita (5€ on sale via PSN).

It's funny when people create better mods than the actual company, there are better models, original soundtracks, etc you can install as mods.

you can use the original soundtrack and it's easy to replace.

So does this confirm the "remastered" version has the shitty instruments?

Yes, but there is a patch that contains all the songs from the original, so replacing it isn't hard to do. You'd think SE would learn to do it themselves.

WTF GAHARS SPOILERS HOLY FUCK.

Character Booster Tool, a euphemism for "noob assistance"

I'm no rocket scientist, but aren't you supposed to buy games that are already released? Its not like they're selling this at $60, so what's the big fucking deal? Like, I get if you already have the original game fine, but otherwise...unless I'm just misreading these comments as bitching when they're not, I dunno.

They're not bitching: they're informational. Square's recent PC release is actually the same PC release from 1998, with some cloud save, pseudo-achievement system, and DRM. That's the only difference--besides the selling price.

 

[Nathan Drake]

It's a shame that we can't get good re-releases of other FF games. As interesting as it is watching them continue to mercilessly beat the cash cow that is FF7, the better games in the series could certainly use some love. Oh well. I may eventually pick this up because, you know, achievements.

There is only one use for that and that's if you save against the wall boss - the one in the temple where you cannot grind any more and the only thing to to start from another save.

Never had any trouble with the Demon's Gate .


Warning: Do not read if you haven't played the game

Spoiler

You need to grind levels after fighting the dragon in the Temple of the Ancients (where you get the summon Bahamut)

 

[Shoat]

Still have my old PS1 version and playing that on my PC works fine enough.

Paying money for 'chieves and a Cheat button is not exactly worth it.

But, teh enhanced grafix!

The emulator will actually offer better graphics quality, via filters, than what this PC release will offer.

My only beef is the lack of Z-buffering in PSX games. The character movements were too jittery, but that's just me. ePSXe and the PC version don't look that different filter-wise. There are also mods that replace the models, enhance the font, etc.
