I've played Final Fantasy VII on the PC for years myself. That doesn't mean, however, that I'm not excited to be capable of downloading and having it on my library through Steam at any time. Steam is a very convenient and fast downloading service that I do trust. Not to mention it will be loads of fun to show off having loads and load of hours clocked in to Final Fantasy VII.
It's also about time some some more jRPGs hit Steam. I've dreamed of the PC becoming a haven for jRPGs and other Japanese style video games that never usually see the platform. Things like this keep me hopeful that it might not just be a pipe dream.
Which I'm fairly certain they'll eventually do, put it on Steam.

All joking about them hyping a late 90s PC PS1 port re-packaging aside...
Does anyone have a list of the Achievements?
And wouldn't the cheats...I mean "character boosting" defeat the purpose of Achievements?
I'm guessing since this isn't Steam Achievements, it's "local only" and only you can view them.

I'd assume using the booster would disable achievements. And they probably have some way of displaying them, the site says you can "share your profile" so they're not local only.

For all the love I have for FF7, if it's not on Steam, I'll pass!

Seems like a cool idea. Would buy it if they put this version on PSN.

Also what gives with re-releasing VII but not say 13 or 13-2

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
... what?

Either they made a very overly generous estimate, or they really did do a lot of updates to the graphics, and the "requirements" aren't actually so much requirements, but suggested components for running the game on the highest settings.

VII already had a PC port. XIII and XIII-2 do not. Quick and easy way of making money for SE.

VII was already released on PC but the newer FF 13 and 13-2 were not.

Probably right. I don't get the point of achievements though. Who is there to share them with. I mean if it was steamworks I understand but...

Gah! I'm just tired today... sorry ._. (I would buy the shit out of XIII-2 PC)
You don't need to use Steamworks to publish on Steam.
There's also nothing saying that it's not supporting steamworks. Exclusive to the Squeenix Store, even initially, could just mean that it'll be sold as steam keys. /optimism

Would love it if they did an HD remake for PS3/Vita, especially if Matsuno could be wrangled on board for some final Director's Cut tweaks.

I was about to post this. I don't see why achievements would matter if there's no service to compare them with others.
I guess it pushes you to do side stuff, but it just seems... useless.
Has there ever been a Steamworks game that hasn't appeared in the Steam Store also?

I wonder what SE are going to charge for this...
I wonder if people will make custom characters, missions, etc. Would make it worth double dipping IMO.
That doesn't mean they should become a Steamworks title.
I absolutely agree that they should put this on Steam, but not making it Steamworks is hardly a "stupid" decision.

The technology just isn't there yet.
Yeah, well instead of getting 70% of my money they'll be getting 0%.
Does the extra 30% per sale from their own store make up for the number of sales they could have gotten from selling it on Steam's store as well, though?
Honestly some of you have expectations so far away from earth that they can't even be found with the world's best telescopes

What does it matter to you?
It's Final Fantasy VII. Let's face it, this thing is going to sell regardless.
What do you get extra in the Steam version to make it so worth it? Or have you had some sort of shocking experience with the SE store previously?
They why rerelease it on PC when you could just play it on you PS3? Or you your Vita? Or In HD with ePSXe? For achievements that people cant see (because of no steam)?
