We knew it was coming, so this launch trailer is not a great surprise. It is nice to see it finally in action though, as a downloadable PC release available via Square’s own PC download service.

It’s listed as “coming soon” with the achievements and cloud saves we already reported on but there are some minimum system requirements up, in case you’re wondering.

Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7 (32/64-bit)
2GHz Processor or faster
1GB RAM
DirectX 9-compatible graphic card

This has nothing to do with the thread you posted it in. Moving it somewhere more appropriate. ~Covarr

I think aali is fixing the issue anyway so that we dont need ff7music, but it would be good they could do it too.

Not happy with that. I think it's great to have it because that way we aren't restricted to hearing the same old stuff again and again. Plus there are so many awesome fan-made remixes and reproductions that it would be a crying shame not to be able to put it.
 
We don't need to active threads about the exact same thing, so I used my magic powers to merge them. ~Covarr
 
Not showing any kind of in-game stuff? It somehow smells fishy for me. I hope they aren't planning to release the PSX ISOs packed with VGS or some other sort of emulator. That would be pretty disapointing.

Nice to see you around Millenia, by the way!

Same with me... and showing fmv proves nothing...  as i said that can just be a guy who made a trailor with psx ones
 
How will this affect modding?  Do you forsee huge rewrites or will they hopefully slip over the top like a nice Silk Dress? *zomg see what I did thar?*

According to my sources, game only Works with Savage S3, Sound card with 32 voices, and 16 MB ram, no Nvidia support, no Ati 128, no mp3, no HD FMV ( resolution 320x240 ultra pixeled), and software mode is recommended. Please, downgrade your computer with Windows 98.

Now without jokes, hope they port FFIX and X.
 
Yeah a little bird told me this was happening a while ago. The hint of the 'boost' would be in the system specs.

 Minimum System Requirements: Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7 (32/64-bit) • 2GHz Processor or faster • 1GB RAM •
DirectX 9-compatible graphic card
 That's a whole lot for a simple port. :) There is a screenshot in there, it looks pretty sharp. The movies are 100% cleaned up.
 
The movies look same as psx to me....  possibly with a crappy filter job.
 
Considering the stated requirements:
    Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7 (32/64bits) - 2GHz - 1GB - 2.16GB - DirectX 9.0c-compatible graphic card - DirectX 9.0c
That's barely more than it takes to run the original game on a modern machine.
Those are more like the specs to run Windows 7 with adequate performance.
The required 2.16GB for a  3 CD-Rom game + the downloaded setup files leaves little room for improvements.
Applying all of the mods found here results in a Final Fantasy VII installation of nearly 9GB.
That doesn't even include the setup files!

Would they reissue the PC version with all its bugs?  Or is it in Square's best interest to release the PSX version with an emulator?
Could it be the international English language PC version that was released in the Asian market?
Upon its release, the PC version of FF7 received mediocre review scores at best.
Hopefully it's not a grab for cash and the years of FF7 fan love have influenced Square.
 
Well mods don't count. You are making the program do what it wasn't meant to do. with un-optimised resources... they bought eidos not to long ago wonder if it has sumthin' to do with that. It's very likley they at the very least fixed the broken mini-games and the pixelated look. As it stands barebones FF7 PC is unplayable. To me even with mods.

To each their own. I love what they do here. The mods are fun to learn, create, and play!
 
If they add a load game feature it will already be a huge improvement (in fact, it's unacceptable to not include it). Other than that, I really don't know what to expect of this. Hopefully it will be mod-friendly.
 
The mods here are better than they are ever gonna do haha

I'm kind of a purist, I don't really care for the mods as much as fixing what was broken... Actually to me nothing beats an old CRT and the PS3 combo.

**

Don't get me wrong, some of the mods are pretty neat! But some bugs in the PC version just is a deal breaker. Even with heavy mod/s the game has some glaring flaws, such as the minigames, and the already mentioned pixelation. =/
 
But pixelation is also there on the PSX version. At the very least, we can use a postprocessing filter to make it less glaring. And I was under the impression that the minigames speed was already capped when using AAli's driver.
