There are definitely some censored words in there that wouldn't make sense as "fuck", but I always took it as a generic swear word, just for emphasis without actually being meant as a specific profanity.

We could say it was always something like "Fuit"!

The idea of language censorship in a 2012 release seems absurd, we've been past that since early 2000's.

Kinda interesting how that went as time went on, though. You wouldn't see the f-word or the s-word or something like that in T-rated games then, but I *think* you'll see some of it now but not as often? You'll see them thrown around no problem in M-rated stuff.

Hi, anyone remember me :3?

 

[Professor Beef]

Emerald looks like a nutsack from that angle.

 

[Dark Schala]

I love when it appears in front of the sunken Gelnika when I'm coming out of it.

That used to legitimately frighten me as a kid.

 

[Yoshichan]

I think we can all relate the submarine-song as the "Emerald Weapon-song".

 

[Muskweeto]

I think we can all relate the submarine-song as the "Emerald Weapon-song".

Or we can relate it to "Oh god, get me out of this water!"

I remember being quite scared of it back then.

Some help here guys... the password for the huge materia is O, [], X, X on the PS1... what is that on the PC? I know O is CONFIRM and X is CANCEL but []?!

 

[TheExodu5]

I think [] is "switch"? Maybe...well that's the first thing that popped into my head.

□ should be switch

 

[Yoshichan]

I love you guys, SWITCH was correct :3

Is anyone else having login problems? I can login to my account on the Square Enix site (and registered the game there) but when I put my login information to the launcher, it says the e-mail is invalid. It's the same email address thats in my account settings so I have no idea what's going on.

The depression around the world when we found out that our plan against the meteor did jack shit... it oozes sad/disappointed atmosphere.

Okay, after comparing to the original OGGs and stuff, it seems that ob.ogg may be the only problematic file.

Here's a new version of the PSX music: http://www.gamefront.com/files/22135087/Fixed+FF7+Fixed+Music+v2.zip
Hopefully this is the one. It's just the original with only oa.ogg and ob.ogg edited.
Sorry about that mixup.

Quoted because people need to know this exist.

Don't be sorry, I mean, shit, nothing was obligating you to do it, yet you did it!

Thank you!!!

Pro-tip: Don't click any of my pictures :3

 

[Pachinko]

I'm actually kind of surprised that some out there actually prefer the PC music.. it's literally midi, even with the yamaha drivers set up (I checked some of those youtube videos) to make it sound as good as it can it's still missing some instruments and bass as well as most of the layered reverb.

I'll just chalk it up to nostalgia I guess.

I made the mistake of clicking.

 

[Yoshichan]

Hey look, another Weapon emerges from underwater!

I just realized something... Diamond Weapon, then Midgar, then it's disc swap :lol Damn, disc 2 went insanely fast... but still lots of stuff to do. As soon as CD3 starts, I'll be doing all the remaining side-quests (I've done some of the major ones already).

Gold chocobo breeding shall be fun again...

15 minutes and counting...

(lost track of Ultima Weapon and I've been roaming around like a headless chicken).

edit: Finally... 20 minutes later!

I need to stop coming into this thread Yoshi is getting me hyped. If I hadn't lost disk 3 years ago it would already be in my ps3.

 

[BPRD]

Can someone help me buy this? I enter my information, but it says not available in my location. I live in USA

Under the credit card thing, it says Name, does that mean my name or the card type like mastercard. because it doesnt let you choose card type

I'm pretty sure it's asking you for a name to save the CC information under for future purchases.

I am pretty sure it is the name of the CC holder and not the name "Visa" etc..

Wait... people here are bitching about the audio... but are playing it at some horrendous stretched widescreen?

Dang son you are tearing it up, not sure how much of that I even remember how to do. I am trying to hold out for the mods so the graphics aren't quite as 90s.

 

[antitrop]

Have you actually played it? Rhetorical question, if you had played it you wouldn't make such a post.

It looks perfectly fine at 1920x1080 and there's even an "Original Aspect Ratio" option if you have to be such a diehard purist.

It doesn't look anywhere near as bad as say... playing the PSN version on PSP and choosing to Stretch it. Not even close.

 

[BPRD]

so great I cant even buy this thing.. Whens it coming out on steam?

 

[antitrop]

In this case I would say it's probably just user error. I had absolutely no issue whatsoever buying the game with a credit card from the SE Store.

 

[Whogie]

That lolparty group

I was considering using that party. Give Cloud "Long Range" and have everyone in the back.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

why is it telling me it's not available for sale in my country?! (USA)

 

[mr stroke]

That lolparty group

that GIF

LOL

 

[Lumpy Onion]

For the "not available in country" error, try logging out of Square account (or whatever its called) and then logging in again. Don't just keep retrying from the CC# entry screen again, and again. Read that on another forum.

oh... it's not like that? What are they doing different?

ok got the game, now how do i play it with my 360 pad?

Have your Xbox 360 controller plugged in to your PC's USB port.

Seriously, there's no configuration required (although it would be smart to map PGUP and PGDWN as Left and Right bumper, otherwise you can't run away from battles with the 360 controller).

You don't even have to set a control option, you can use the 360 controller and the keyboard at the same time if you really wanted to, as long as it's plugged in and the drivers are installed it will just work.

i plugged it in but it won't let me use it in game.

That's very odd, I didn't have to do a single thing at all to get it to work. Have you tried playing another game real quick to make sure the controller is working properly and that it's just FF7 that's the problem?

 

[Psy-Phi]

I have the same trouble. I ended up just mapping everything through xpadder after about 15 minutes of exiting and relaunching the thing. It's weiird because it works fine in the launcher when changing button mappings, but the game just refused to acknowledge the 360 controller.

I thought about unplugging my other two game input devices, but I'm of the mindset that I don't make changes to my computer set up just to get one game working...and xpadder worked fine.

Also, not sure if anyone else has commented on the OGG PSX music that was so kindly shared here, but the LoopStart=0 on yado.ogg (the inn music) loops indefinitely for me at the part of the game I'm in now, first time using an inn, so I'm not sure if other inns would have looped endlessly or not, but removing that loop tag fixed it. I feared I'd have to go back to the updated music, which is absolutely atrocious in the Slums area that I'm in.

It sucks you had to go through a third-party work-around, but I'm fairly certain that's not normal.

I've read about so, so, so many problems people are having with this game, but I just haven't run into a single issue at all. Maybe I just have really good luck.

I went overboard with adding the loop tag, so this new version just does it on the known bad song.

Your work in this thread is much appreciated.

Is there a mod to use the Yamaha midi music from the original pc release? After listening to some of the clips on youtube I liked it a lot. Sounds better than the ps1 version.

This is what i'm thinking too. There is a torrent out there containing the complete Yamaha XG midi soundtrack in .flac format. If one were to convert these files to .ogg, then maybe that would work. Also, one would have to make sure the songs loop correctly.
