disappointing. one of my favourite games and i still have a positive review on the original steam release but they've messed up with the latest update. whoever this got outsourced to learned nothing from the failures of the 2013 steam release which required weeks of rushed patches to get it to a playable state. for some reason, they've removed the 2013 steam release and replaced it with this version. it still has a …

When judged as a vanilla product, this version is objectively better than the 2012 release previously available on Steam. The removal of the Square Enix account DRM is probably the biggest positive. This version did launch with a serious issue (battles running at double speed), but the developers released a fix surpsingly quickly. Of course, the loss of modding is a BIG negative, but i'm confident that the extremely …

Never got to play it as a kid. I grew up on 8 and 9. Now I have beat it for the first time, and my god what a game... Easily the greatest JRPG of all time and the best I have played. I get it now. This game deserves its praise.

“SHUT UP! Sit your ass down in that chair and drink your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ TEA!” Let’s start with the facts. This version includes a 3x Speed Mode, a No-Encounters Toggle, and a Battle Enhancement Mode (auto-fill HP/MP and instant Limit Breaks). While none of these are strictly necessary to enjoy FFVII, they do make the game much more respectful of your time, which is how you can get a completionist run of this game done in …

As a longtime Final Fantasy VII fan, this re-release is a bit of a let down. But for new folks who wanted an easier way to experience this classic journey on PC with some new QoL, then you'll be fine. Pros: - 3X Speed for Field, and Battle. - Auto heal HP and MP - Instant Limit Breaks. - Toggle Encounters on/off - Easier Controller UI and Native Controller Support. The first four bullet points are carry overs from …

Players who liked FINAL FANTASY VII talk about removal of Square Enix account DRM is a big improvement; those who didn't talk about blurry textures due to non-optional bilinear filtering. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Within three days of its release in Japan, Final Fantasy VII sold over two million copies. This popularity inspired thousands of retailers in North America to break street dates in September to meet public demand for the title. In the game's debut weekend in North America, it sold 330,000 copies, and had reached sales of 500,000 copies in less than three weeks. The momentum established in the game's opening weeks continued for several months; Sony announced the game had sold one million copies in North America by early December, prompting business analyst Edward Williams from Monness, Crespi, Hardt & Co. to comment that "Sony redefined the role-playing game (RPG) category and expanded the…

Along with this, there seems to be a weird screen tearing issue, but I fixed it by switching from fullscreen to borderless windowed. With the speed in battles fixed, this is pretty much just a SLIGHTLY better version of the previous port. I do appreciate the in-game settings menu and addition of Steam trading cards and points shop. It's also the exact same price as the version this replaced, so no harm there. An…

neutral · AI labelView post →Why delist a previous version especially if you do absolutely nothing with the re-released version and leave it a buggy mess? Are you just attacking the mod community, your fans, that keep your game alive and your business? Are you jealous they do a better job then you have been doing to update the true classics? Absolutely no reason to delist a game and get/trick people to buy multiple copies of the same game.

Every time, EVERY TIME this company does something as simple as "put game on steam" they seemingly RUIN something new, I swear it's an actual business decision by SquareEnix at this point. - Menu sound effects don't match up to the OG. Meaning you scroll the menu just as fast, but the menu SEs play at half speed. - Tifa's Beat Rush limit break literally doesn't play the entire sound effect - it cuts off after the first punch. I assume there's a…

So treat this review as a FAQ of sorts. Can I just skip it and go straight to the Remake trilogy? Yes and no. The FF7 Remake Trilogy is very meta about being a remake: it treats the original game's events as a sort of canon…

This still does not feel like a major improvement Why do battles run at triple speed by default? And why does a re-release of a PS1 game have its own dedicated launcher? How do you make an arguably worse release of a PS1 game with an already middling release from 2013? The console port this was based on was fine as it is.
