Support NeoGAF

[Polioliolio]

Well, it's a good time to replay. It's been... I don't even know how long...

Also, this would be great encouragement to Square to put more FF games on Steam. Can you imagine FFXII on Steam? Holyshit!

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Hardest achievement in game:
"name": "GET_FOURTH_AERITH_LAST_LIMIT",

Funny enough I did that but never got a lvl 99 character.

 

[la flama blanca]

Make some TF2 pre order items........ROOOL:

 

[AColdDay]

As much as I'd like additional feature and stuff. THIS is what I expect.

But hey, It's still a purchase for me, if they see the game selling hopefully they'll consider remaking it for once.

I would just be happy with them seeing that there is a market for jrpgs on Steam.

 

[Garjon]

Hardest achievement in game:
"name": "GET_FOURTH_AERITH_LAST_LIMIT",

Don't you just have to obtain it? Either way, it's certainly doable.

 

[The Iron Yuppie]

Already have it digitally on my ps3 and still have the discs somewhere around here. But I'll buy it on steam again, I still love that game. Best FF after 4.

 

[Mupod]

I bought the original FF7 PC version when it was new and it basically introduced me to the concept of godawful console ports.

I could kinda see myself playing it again if this version is somehow not crap. Not like I haven't finished it about 8 times already.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Achievements?

My Vita is weeping.

 

[-NeoTB1-]

It's been quite some time since I last played this. I'd probably be down for a Steam purchase.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

NOOOOOOO why did I click that spoiler?

 

[Groof]

Might bite this time around. But oh man those achievements...

 

[Grief.exe]

NOOOOOOO why did I click that spoiler?

Life has been ruined.

 

[The Elite]

Just in time for a Steam sale.

 

[ComputerMKII]

How are the graphics compared to the old PC port and the original Playstation version?

 

[Gilgamesh]

It's a real shame they didn't re-translate the game for this release. I really want to play FF7 with a better translation.

 

[Garjon]

It's a real shame they didn't re-translate the game for this release. I really want to play FF7 with a better translation.

Are mods supported?

 

[Dead Prince]

will it have always online for it?

 

[I am Michael Bolton]

How imminent?

 

[StanTowers]

Replaying the game won't be the same than playing it the first time ever for me It was magical. I guess this applies to a lot of other games.

 

[Raxus]

I have to confess. I never played any FF before VIII to the end. Looking forward to rectifying that mistake.

 

[Shadow780]

NOOOOOOO why did I click that spoiler?

Welcome

 

[marrec]

Square Enix's release on their store has achievements too.

What! There were? Shows what I know about the Squeenix store. Same cheevos?

 

[Grief.exe]

Keep your ignorance of the Square Enix store, that release is not worth the hassle.

 

[legacyzero]

HOLY CRAP.

Gimme FFVII, and I'll buy BOTH.

 

[daniels]

Achievements:

• "name": "GET_FOURTH_CAITSITH_LAST_LIMIT"

wat

 

[Grief.exe]

How imminent?

How imminent? Like this week? Or some time this year?

No way of knowing for sure based on this information.

Adding purchasing options is generally one of the last things.

 

[Prezhulio]

how long has it been since FFVII first showed up in the steam database? years, right?

just trying to temper expectations for halo's release, lol

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I'm hoping this version doesn't have that annoying DRM the SE store's version had.

 

[Arkage]

I will never get used to her name change to Aerith. I find it amazing that they go to such unnecessary lengths without realizing the only thing it will do is piss their fans off. And I love how the achievements use the new name but the entirety of the actual game uses the old one. Sigh.

The new one just makes me feel like i'm saying an old one with a lisp.

there will be some passionate internet guy who yells at us both for not liking the new one and we will laugh at him

 

[Grief.exe]

I wouldn't correlate the two.

For example, when AoE II HD first showed up in the Steam registry it wasn't that long before a release.

FFVII is, seemingly, controlled by Square of Japan which constantly makes foolish decisions in general, let alone in regards to PC releases.

I'm hoping this version doesn't have that annoying DRM the SE store's version had.

I certainly hope not, no evidence either way in the registry currently.

DRM information would be located in the installation or configuration sections, which aren't available yet.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Honestly, if you want to play this game, why would you bother with anything other than the original PSX release? The backgrounds are all made for 320x240 so running at a higher resolution only creates a stronger division between the backgrounds and the characters plus the music is terrible in the PC port.

Uh... because it is not available legally on the PC? Because it is not convenient for like half of Steam subscribers? Sometimes you ask the dumbest questions, dark.

 

[Soule]

May bite depending on the port quality - wasn't their last PC port horrendous?

This is my stance, never got into FF7, FF8 was the only one I played on the PS1. I can't help but feel that it'd be outdated by now, one of the biggest plot points have been long spoilered, the graphics are hard on the eyes and I've played more than enough turn based RPGs for my liking.

Still... all the talk about how much fans love this game make me wanna look into it myself, also I'd like to support S-E putting their games on Steam.

 

[legacyzero]

I've actually been looking for an excuse to play through these again. This TOTALLY works out.

While VIII was my favorite, VII most certainly is more popular. The game is simply legendary. Sure the graphics are a bit dated, but you'll forget all that once you let that amazing story grab ahold of you.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

What party does everyone like using for endgame? Cloud, Aerith, Vincent, personally.

Spoiler

dem tired ass jokes

 

[TheRagnCajun]

Aren't the pre-rendered backgrounds going to look like ass on PC monitors?

 

[Mesoian]

Aren't the pre-rendered backgrounds going to look like ass on PC monitors?

Probably. If memory serves, they're simply 600x200 images.

So yeah.

I can't get over the hold X to run

 

[Spongebob]

So this version won't have always-online DRM?

Yeah, despite the big moment being spoiled, I'm still interested in the story and so long as it's handled properly I'm pretty sure I'll pick this up at some point.

Uh... because it is not available legally on the PC? Because it is not convenient for like half of Steam subscribers? Sometimes you ask the dumbest questions, dark.

Doesn't this mean it's legally available on PC?

 

[Oreoleo]

Maybe I will finally play this game.

In sincerity, more JRPG's are always welcome on Steam. Such an underrepresented genre.

 

[Almighty]

If this version doesn't have any of the awful DRM the one from their store has then I am in.

 

[FrontalMonk]

I feel a little sad that aside from the "Master All Materia" and "Get 99999999 Gil" achievements, I already did these. Almost 15 years ago.

Is that really what's holding you back?

"NOSTALGIA UNLOCKED."

 

[CambriaRising]

I hope you can redownload it after 90 days this time.

 

[jWILL253]

Will it support modding? I'd love to see updated character models from the community. That chibi style is super dated...

 

[Alucrid]

Is that really what's holding you back?

I yes, I find it annoying and uncomfortable. I hope there's a fix on the pc so I can finally play this game.

 

[dark10x]

Uh... because it is not available legally on the PC? Because it is not convenient for like half of Steam subscribers? Sometimes you ask the dumbest questions, dark.

What? Seriously?

Buy the PSX version and emulate it. Or, use any PlayStation console. Simple.

The PC version is just terrible.

 

[CambriaRising]

I yes, I find it annoying and uncomfortable. I hope there's a fix on the pc so I can finally play this game.

I...what? Lots of games do this. It sucks that you never played gta, batman arkham, resident evil 4, etc. if this is a hang up for you.
