Are the screens on that page the same as the PC version that was already released?

 

[Jucksalbe]

That's it? Seems pretty easy, only mastering materias is a grind.

It's a pretty nice list. Basically it's "get everything in the game". "Master all materias" could be a problem, though, as far as I remember there's some materia that's exclusive to Chocobo races.

 

[DenisQc]

will still wait for more info about music, DRM.
does anyone knows if there is controller support ?
other than xbox360 gamepad

Well the original PC release supposed game pads so no reason for this not to.

 

[Yoshichan]

The music is really fucking good. It's better than the PS1-version imo. It sounds very different.

edit: Achievements on their site updates immediately:

 

[SLV]

YOSHICHAN ! We summon thee and thy screenshots !

Speak of the devil, looks like ass though ;(

 

[Thrakier]

It's the best game of all time, so yes you're in for a treat.

Also, skip the Star Wars-movies. And watch the Daniel Craig-bond-movies.

You can thank me later.

Yes, yes it is. :3

 

[Robin64]

Get Aerith's final limit break? Ugh. That one could be a problem/tedious.

 

[King_Moc]

That's it? Seems pretty easy, only mastering materias is a grind.

Wouldn't getting all the limit breaks be the time consuming one? You'll get an All Material to 5 stars about 2 thirds through.

Edit: oh, is it one of each materia? Knights of the Round takes forever.

 

[DenisQc]

thanks Yoshidan for keeping us informed

trying to resist here.
but I'm sure I'll go more pressure when my GF will know it is available...

 

[Yoshichan]

Aaaand now my life is complete :3 Put it on Steam thumbnails!

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

Just how different is the music ?

 

[DenisQc]

just for fun, just post this picture and let others search steam for it

 

[Yoshichan]

 

[ubercheez]

YOSHICHAN ! We summon thee and thy screenshots !

Speak of the devil, looks like ass though ;(

Looks pretty lifelike to me.

 

[Schlomo]

High-res polygons on low-res pre-rendered backgrounds don't look so good... Is there an option to render the characters in the same resolution as the backgrounds?

Edit: Oh! Original Graphic Mode pics please!

 

[SLV]

I mean, i hoped for more change than just 'better" character models ;_;

Will buy it anyway, if it gives them a reason to ever remake it proper !

 

[DenisQc]

original graphic mode ?

any explanation on this ?

edit : sorry Yoshichan, just do your best, I see lots of people are asking you stuff

 

[terrisus]

So, have they put up the way for people who purchased it before and they said were getting it for free to re-download it without re-purchasing it, or am I just missing it?

 

[MedIC86]

Can you use that boost option anywhere/any time? i dont feel like replaying the whole thing, but if i can blaze trough it by using that booster i might do it.

 

[Stabattack]

Is it still the same old translation?

 

[Viola of the Abyss]

Doesn't look so good by those screens... mod scene to the rescue I suppose!

They can fix everything.. except the dumb DRM, is that confirmed?

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Looks good to me!

[Kagari]

Off course.

 

[Robin64]

Off course.

This guy are sick.

(I wonder if they'll tweak it just a teeny bit)

 

[Wario64]

 

[ubercheez]

Off course.

It's been a long time since I played this, but I think they fixed a lot of the egregious grammar issues in the original PC port.

 

[Yoshichan]

edit : sorry Yoshichan, just do your best, I see lots of people are asking you stuff

I just want to reach the save point so I can try different things out! The intro still isn't skippable so XD

I kept my original download and found the serial key from the original order worked to unlock it a few days ago, though I couldn't sign into the launcher and actually play then. I do not see any emails from Square about what we're supposed to do or any reference to it in my Square Enix account, however. I'm not at home so I can't validate that I can sign in to the launcher now that it's officially released.

 

[demosthenes]

Can the game be modded?

(I assumed you linked to the original PC release modded)

 

[Terra_Ex]

The music is really fucking good. It's better than the PS1-version imo. It sounds very different.

Good to hear, hopefully someoe will upload some vids later so I can judge how different the music sounds. I'm liking the resolution options too. Dammit, now I need to resist buying it and hold out for the Steam version. Those backgrounds are showing their age though, it's like a classic point and click.

 

[Yoshichan]

Did you already have a save game or something?

 

[DenisQc]

nono he was just posting an official screenshot direct from SE store page...

Well, the original email about the whole mix-up had said:

As this was a pre-release build of the game, we ask you to please
uninstall the game immediately. You will need to make sure all
existing files are uninstalled before you are able to download
and install the final build of FINAL FANTASY VII in the very near
future.

And, I hadn't completed the download anyway. Hung onto the unlock/serial codes though.

I had assumed it would just be listed in our games list when it came back up, but doesn't seem that's the case, unless I'm missing it.

EDIT: Well, entering in the Unlock code on the games page registers it in your Games list, but there doesn't seem to be any way to download it from there, and the Product page still just lists a Purchase link.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

The game looks good in battle:

But I wish I can say the same thing about everything else

 

[Yoshichan]

Okay, the music is VERY different. Some songs are a lot better imo, but the victory theme song is really bad.

Did you already have a save game or something?

That was from the Square page

 

[Shadow780]

My download is not moving at all.

 

[DenisQc]

how bad ?

i heard it so many times in different versions, i doubt I'll care if this is just another mix ^^

 

[Adamm]

Faster Dammit!! FASTER!!!

 

[Kagari]

Sounds like the MIDI version of the OST...

 

[Sushigod7]

The screen looks cleaner to me than when I played on the PC back in 1999. Curious anyway I'll grab it on payday just to have on the laptop.

So it's confirmed music is better than expected?

edit: so still original PC music? Great

 

[kingslunk]

I'm a sucker, I bought it. I'll answer any questions also when I get it installed.

 

[Kokonoe]

So they actually added higher graphical resolutions? I'm also wondering what the music being different means. Is it the original PC track?

 

[Yoshichan]

Sounds like the MIDI version of the OST...

It doesn't even sound MIDI though... it's just bad. I really like the battle song though.

edit: so still original PC music? Great

No, it's not the original PC music.

 

[massoluk]

The music is really fucking good. It's better than the PS1-version imo. It sounds very different.

Sorry for being a skeptic, but is this a confirmation that they are not shitty the old shitty PC midi.

EDIT: nevermind, beaten.

 

[Cheddahz]

I would buy it, but I'm broke at the moment -_-

 

[DenisQc]

so the next thing to check is which version of one winged angel we got.

do you plan to sleep Yoshichan ?
