I see. Perhaps it should be prudent to wait on it then.

Love me some Steam FF VII. Still never got around to beating Emerald and Ruby weapons.

Is the music still shitty or the same as PSX version?

Hm, I think the thread title is going to make people think it's actually ready to be purchased.

My advice? Prepare your bodies for imminent arrival. :3 This has been a long time coming.
Now if only SE-J could be convinced to release newer products on the PC that aren't MMO titles...
The music requires a bit of tweaking but you can make it way more damn awesome than the original PSX version, tbh.

if it ever goes to $5 and is modable with no drm then I'll get it but still the portable psn version is the best
yep definitely on psp or vita

But it doesn't get any more awesome than the original PSX!
But yeah, I am one of those guys that wouldn't play modded FF7. Wouldn't feel right and I don't think it needs modding. Of course I'd love them to go all out if they did FF7R!

Should be today if it was added and isn't a preorder situation.
*going to the store right now to buy frozen pizza and soda to survive my marathon*
You can mod in lossless audio quite easily.
Doesn't change anything other than make the music as close to perfect as possible.

Will there be graphics mods? Or is there already?
I believe there are already.
FFVII is strange because the backgrounds are a fixed resolution. Increasing your rendering resolution will only stretch those images.
Has anyone worked on a way to clean up the images or try to redraw them for higher resolutions?

But.. but..
The new PC release has beautiful versions of the music tracks!
One Winged Angel for example!

Weren't the PC pre-rendered backgrounds higher resolution and less compressed than the PSone version's though? I know Final Fantasy VIII's were that way.
Personally waiting for VIII and IX myself.
Were there any downsides to these ports?
I don't think IX had a PC port

What's the price gonna be? 20 bucks?
The PC backgrounds were actually all double compressed, I believe. Nobody had the source files to recreate them.

Probably 9.99

If that is the price I will buy it day one.
ugh... wtf is up with companies losing source code and assets...

Any ideas on controller support / steam achievements?
Square also lost the source code and assets for Kingdom Hearts 1 as well

For a long time they didn't really save that stuff. When the game was done that was it. They didn't think about future re-releases.
The achievements are in the OP...

When I played the SE PC release for a while I didn't really mind the music that much. It certainly didn't sound as good or the same as the PS1 version, but I found it to be just a new variation on songs I know and love. I am sure purists would find it atrociously bad, but for me it was fun to hear these beloved songs in a different way.
So provided this does come out on Steam, is it possible for fans to fix that crap? Because that would seriously keep me from wanting to buy it, no matter how badly I want japanese games on Steam.

NEW WAYS?! Removing the Latin during it and making the music sound worse is not a "new" way to present a song. >>

Yes, you'll be able to access the game files to fix the soundtrack easily

Yes, hearing these songs with different sounding instruments was new to me because I hadn't heard them that way before. Yeah, for better or worse. Wasn't referring to the One Wing Angel mangling either, as losing the latin is pretty sad. But I did have fun hearing new versions of these songs. No need to get all defensive as I never said the PC version's midi was better. I just didn't hate it.

YES! It's gonna be neat to finally be able to do the Pocketstation content. Even if that totally sucks it will be something new to do. Gotta get that Moomba summon and other goodies!

I haven't played the PS1 FF games in a really long time. Getting them on Steam, hell all the FF's on Steam would be awesome.
There is no PC version of 9, but 8 has been in the registry for as long as 7 has been. It'll come eventually.

Probably days at this point, perhaps, once they get the store page up and running.
Speculation, of course.
Huh...?

Just speculation that Steam is updating the store with items right now
