Final Fantasy VII PC Revamp Confirmed
Square Enix recently commented that it wouldn't dare remake Final Fantasy VII until it had surpassed it with a new FF. If you, like me, are a PC gamer with no real connection to the series and have no idea why it's so beloved, you'll seen get to see for yourself, as Square Enix today confirmed the leak that the JRPG's been revamped for a PC re-release. Final Fantasy VII was released for PC back in 1998, but is a bit tricky to get ahold nowadays and disagrees somewhat with modern hardware and operating systems. As well as, presumably, not requiring fiddling and fussing to run on your shiny modern PC, the revamp boasts new features. It'll pack 36 achievements for you to collect, cloud saves so you can keep your progress across multiple computers, and a new 'Character Booster' which lets you boost your HP, MP and Gil levels to the max and get on with the game. Plus, of course, it doesn't require a ton of fiddling to get working. When will you get to play it? "Soon" is all Square Enix has to offer. Curiously, the publisher says it'll be available "exclusively" on its own store, but surely it wouldn't be that daft in this modern wonderful of digital distribution? Hit the official site for more information.

to be honest this is good for a 1997 game to need atleast 1gb of ram but i was hoping for mininum reqs to be

I am playing in fullscreen, 1920x1080 as well, on a 50" TV, so that's a win..
I hear disabling linear filtering makes it look better, so I did that.
Also original graphic mode makes it look uglier from what I hear, so turned that off.
It is NOT a direct port.. If it was, you'd be stuck at something like 640x480 res, or w/e it was..
So there have been some small tweaks.
Idk if the mods for ff7 will work with this.. but I hope with the changes, it makes the game easier to mod, so people can take advantage of the newer options.
I really wish they'd make an HD remake.. A totally remade HD game, with the same story..
I would buy it for full price, so fast..
But I am loving this anyway..
:toast: Oops, PS1 I meant.
I'm just in denial about how old I am I guess... :ohwell:
Never completed it though.
Good times.
