I am really thankful that I decided to purchase my copy before Square-Enix raises the price tomorrow. Now I own three versions of Final Fantasy VII on five devices.

The Playstation Network version looks better on the PSP than the Playstation 3. That is my opinion of course.
 
I think it's a matter of screen size + resolution. So while i'm inclined to purchase the FF7 they have on PSN and play it on my PS3, i'd rather purchase the FF8 that's there and retire my old PS

I have that version of Final Fantasy VIII on my PSP, and it is awesome on the go.
 
By the way, lately i've been thinking of retiring my ff7 95 as well as ff8 ps1 cd and station. Want to buy ff7 for pc and ff8 for ps3[via psn]

i've heard from some users that the mods involving lgp archive switch like char, battle and others can be used in the rerelease. But what about mods which are not stored in archives but in the mod folders like Grimmy's upscaled textures? can those be used??

The 2012 re-release cannot be modded until it is converted with Kranmer's Converter. Basically the converter changes the file composition back to the 1998 version, which is what all the mods here are built around. Mods will then be compatible and ready to install.

Edit: Would that affect graphics quality/compatibility/gameplay?

Between rerelease and 95 cd rom which would you prefer?

If you don't plan to mod the game at all, or if you don't already own Final Fantasy VII for the PC, the 2012 re-release is definitely the way to go. The Windows 95 release is now quite rare to find at a decent price.

However if you already own the PC version of the game AND you want to mod the hell out of it, then the 2012 re-release *might* not be for you.

Graphically, the game is exactly the same. Their video driver is almost a complete rip-off Aali's driver. You'll notice no differences between the two, except for a few filtering options.

That's just it....i already have modified it like heck..

But some users seem to blog that they can get the mods to work on the rerelease....i suppose the mods will have to be in lgp archives for them to work after you've used kranmer's converter on it.....
 
WHAT THE?

so i paid for the download but never got the download did i mess up or sum thing? :cry:

Its true that the older version have tons of mods, but for some users like me, even with the converter and aali's work
still faced issues with rendering newer graphics =S, so im sticking with 2012 version with the .lpg mods to help, i've personaly not tested
it as my knowledge is limited but there is a faq how to mod the  2012 to work with aali's without converting, its on the script and reverse eng.

It's for changing the rereleased version to be old-version-mods-friendly. You keep the new graphics engine (as that's where all the new features are in), so you have to say bye bye to the opengl one.

In case you didn't know, FF7 for the PC was released in Japan recently. (For them it's not a "re-release" since they didn't get on PC originally, but it still clearly has those re-release changes.)

From what I've read, for them, the character booster is just one feature of a "game booster" feature.

  • Play the game at 5x speed
  • No Encounters
  • Some kind of feature boosting HP, MP, ATB, and limit break in battle
 
1. This is a dead thread.
2. This is very old news as the game was released last year.

Forgive me if you're making a point I don't see.
