Don't think there's anything regarding trophies, unless you somehow miss Ramuh and Ifrit materias for the Master Summon.

Excellent, thank you !

 

[duck_sauce]

I was very close to buying this until i noticed that it is 4:3 and not 16:9 screen ratio. For some reason that really turns me off. I can live with dated visuals....but a 4:3 screen ratio is unbearable to me.

 

[Edgeward]

I feel tempted to just spam the shit out of r3 til I get the 2nd limit breaks.

 

[Chaserjoey]

Theme? What theme? You mean the game comes with a FFVII theme for the PS4 main menu? Or what did he mean by that?

Every purchase of FFVII comes with the Midgar Theme for PS4

Edit: Well I'm assuming it's every purchase. Haven't seen anything so far to say it's got limited timing.

Like 50% of the thread is talking about the free theme, there are pictures on basically every page.

That was beautiful.

My PS4 is on the way so knowing about this limited time PS+ discount I bought FFVII through the PlayStation iOS App earlier today as to not miss the offer. I hope that'll still get me my theme when I access my bought-games-to-download on my new PS4.

Should be no problem.

When your PS4 arrives and you download the game, it should download the theme with it. If not, check the themes section under settings and see if it's there (this is where you apply the theme as well).

 

[Corrupt]

Can anybody confirm if this has the same problem with the music as the recent iOS port?

Basically when battle music interrupts the regular music it forces it to start the track over again after said battle.

Makes it impossible to hear great tracks like both the world map themes. You essentially have to sit still and listen rather than getting exposed to the longer parts of the music. Really make or breaks a great port when they mess with the music in anyway...

Man, this will annoy me now its been pointed out. Sort your shit out, Square.

What's that trick everyone's uses to cheese the game as early as possible? I think it's a w-item glitch of some kind?

You don't really need to do anything if you just press R3 in battle whenever you need it.

This is depressing and sort of makes me not want to buy it. -.-;

Is there any penalty to doing this, trophy wise or other?

On my plays i usually just spend a bit of time and unlock meteor rain then storm through everything rather easy.

By time you get to where W item is its pretty late game anyway. Why spoil the game with some item duping ;/

For anyone wanting to beat the midgar zolom on their first chance AND cut on the grinding.

Spoiler

Put everyone in the back row and use tranquilizers. Damage it with Quake leave 2 character for healing with cure or item. When you learn beta use it once or twice and you win.

 

[GenericJoe]

Yes this same issue is present in the game currently.

Wow. They really put zero effort into this.

Thanks, buddy. I'll make sure I check it.


I keep wondering why this port took one year to happen after it was announced it would be available in spring. If Square took a year to port this FFVII how long are we supposed to wait for FFVIIR? My guess is 2018 at the very least. And that's if Square can pump out FFXV and KH3 in the next two years.

Just bought FF7, again. Lol.
Can't wait to Plat it.

What? And this is present in the PS4 port? And it wasn't there in the PS1 and original PC version? This fucking sucks!

How hard could it be for Square to fix that? Christ!

 

[Anthony Soprano]

What are the odds this is simply running the Windows binary code using something similar to WINE?

 

[Shahed]

I'm actually loving this 3X speed option. The other things are nice as well for learning limits and exploring areas without battles. But that speed is a godsend. Chocobo races and Knights of the Round will be so much more bearable. I have no qualms using them considering I've cleared this game so many times.

Now if only FFVIII and especially FFIX had those options...

 

[neotokyo360]

Is version Z1 include text Japanese?

 

[Tevious]

Got this while its on sale.
Hope they do FFVIII soon and find a way to do FFIX too... since they lost the source code or something -_-

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Sorry to ask, since it's probably in the thread somewhere, does using any of the cheats/assists/no encounter/speed disable trophies?

You can definitely earn some, but no one has got far enough to see if you can earn them all.

Beating the Weapons for a trophy by spamming R3 would be so pointless, but at the moment it appears that it will work.

Yet some complain about the PS2 games on PS4. I'm with you. I'll rebuy games I want digitally even if I already own them.

I wouldn't want to completely break the game, but I would like to have no encounters for certain parts, but I also like trophies, so if that works that completely answers my question. Thanks.

 

[GarciaHotspur]

The game is playable on Vita ? should be beautiful

 

[BumRush]

3x speed is absolutely amazing. I'd buy 8 and 9 day 1 if they gave them the same treatment.

Sorry, I was just speaking generally, not trying to imply that it was your intention to cheat to trophies!

I just found out the game is region locked. I just moved to Germany from the states and my wife gave me a Euro PSN card. I decide to pick this up on my German account to play on the U.S. account and it says it can only be played by the user who has the license for it. I thought all PSN games were region free?

You have to set your PS4 as the primary console on your German account, or something, that should fix it.

 

[MilesTeg]

Is there an option to stretch the screen since its in 4:3?

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Yeah, maybe you should give yours a clean.

I'll make it easy for you:

Now which looks sharp, and which the garbled mess?

I'm crying. Personally this is the only blemish on the port. Still gunna play it but I hope they patch out the text blur.

It's incredible

Argh, too bad there is this black bar when you select an application, it's ugly and useless, I don't know why some themes have this.

It's a Sony's requirement, for accessibility reasons. I agree that it's stupid.

Yeah but it's not on every theme so that's weird.

 

[Nachtfalke]

What's up with the music? Midi or not?

 

[NateDog]

Dammit I want that theme but don't want to rebuy the game considering I have the original PS1 version on my Vita as is.

 

[JP]

What the hell, spent a couple of hours in it and accidentally pressed the L3 or R3 button. There seems to be three different things you can do by either pressing L1, R1 or both at the same time.

Were these in the original PC version?

 

[Acquiescence]

Does anyone know what the deal is with the UK price point for this on PSN? Is the discount for a limited time only or something? It's £8.99 and the RRP is £11.99 by all accounts.

 

[tiebreaker]

I might get this on PS4 because of the them. So good...

 

[Malcolm9]

Were these in the original PC version?

L3 = x3 game speed
R3 = Restore health and full limit break
L3 + R3 = No encounters

I hope that's what you meant anyway.

Depending on level that might not be enough.

Best to have the person with enemy skill materia use fire and elemental materias in their armor to cut the beta damage in half.

 

[Shin-Ra]

The blur filter itself wouldn't put me off the game, but it is very annoying that there are inconsistencies across the same letter. Like when there's a double-L, one is thicker than the other. What the hell is that all about?

I don't think they're upscaling an integer of 320x256 so there's an inconsistency in the width of the letter which then gets filtered differently.

 

[JonnyKtyler]

I just installed the ps4 theme and damn the music is perfect. I don't even want to play a game now, just gonna sit at this menu forever.

 

[Disktrasa]

This is so awsome, its like one of the best things that happend to me in terms of gaming, the game is my goat, and i have completed it several times, but with fulltime job and family aint't nobody have time for that rpg, but with 3xspeed and full hp/limit anybody have time for that rpg.

And it looks gorgeous!

Buy it now!
