Final Fantasy VII PC re-release. SE Store Exclusive - Out now, Internet required

Didn't they already release this game for the PC back in 1998 or '99? I clearly remember a magazine (I don't remember the name, Jeff Green would do an editorial in the back) reviewing it.

Pretty odd Square Enix would want to re-release this game yet again. I guess there's a market for it.
 
i can't help but laugh at this trailer ..every explosion in CGI in the game without context ..to make it seem like a blockbuster movie ..
 
Is this some kind of sick joke?

Why should I buy it again? All new features don't bother me, square wasting resources for this?

Yeah and if I recall correctly Edios did the port (Far to lazy to look)
Definitely sure there's a market for it, but im a bit surprised at the lack of updates to it.
Sure we weren't expecting a HD release but would have expect much more in the touch up department.

You can't find it anywhere nowadays. Should 15 y.o. games just die?

You're not obligated to purchase it. It's really stupid to call something a waste of resources because you don't want it.

Don't buy it if you feel like you're being ripped off. Other people have no problems paying for this game, especially since last time they payed for this game was in 199-fucking-7.

Oh and they barely used any resource in this... I thought that was obvious?

The funniest thing is that even in 1997 the game was marketed like that because JRPG were niche.

Btw I've just read that the game will be in english, french, spanish and german............after so many years still no italian.....Square.....
No buy for me, I'll stick to the Psone version played on PsVita which will probably look better than 320*200 backgrounds on a 1080p screen.
 
That trailer was awful! I'll get this if it ever drops on Steam but I own the original disc, PSN versions, and the old-ass PC version. Enough is probably enough for me.
 
This is their way of telling the remake beggars that this is all they will ever get, deal.
 
Ha, glad I already own the PC release. What bullshit.
lol.gif
 
What this is: A port and an easier way for people to play Final Fantasy VII on their PCs without using ebay.

Don't see the issue here.
 
just as according to keikaku.
typical SE.
wait wat, you saying this year is 1997? cool I guess, played on PS already, good that now PC gamers can experience it too!

Yeah my sentence with the resources wasn't that serious.

And no it's not a feeling of being ripped of more like the whole thing has no appeal to buy it, hardly any new features. I have the original game still lying in my cupboard. It's just the fact Squaere knows that many fans want to have something ffVII related and they give a rerelease.. without doing something to improve the game.


Maybe it is cool for people who don't have the game anymore.
 
Yeah the problem is im probably stupid enough to buy this and half play it then forget about it.

Im assuming the online bit is purely to try and stop piracy?

Cloud saves, no battle character models used everywhere in the game, no hd backgrounds, no 540fps.

People would be best just epsxeing the greatest hits PS1 version.

Fantastic. I love it. More unique achievements!
 
Eh, what can possibly happen if you buy it from the Square Enix shop? You buy it, you download it, you play it :3
 
The nostalgia factor is so high for this shit that I'm really thinking about buying it.

Hope for the $10 price we get AT LEAST the use of the mods that were previously released by the community. To be fair, S-E should at least greet them in the credits if they are planning on using them.
