[JeffZero]

Pretty sure its only available when you buy the game. Once you buy FF7, the theme will automatically download.

Edit: never heard about a free theme coming out. Would be cool for those who just want the theme to be able to get it for free.

Oh, okay. I thought someone was talking about one earlier. Maybe I misread. I'll just wait til Wednesday for the good one then.

 

[TalentBurke]

How do you save?? I pressed triangle but Save is greyed out lol.

Even though it's greyed out you can still select "save 1" "save 2" it will light up after you save.

We're no strangers to fucking fans
You know the rules and so do I
An action game is what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other company
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna buy your crap
You always let you down you've finally made me run around and hate you
Always gonna make you cry
Time to say goodbye
Always telling lies and hurt you

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but
You're too dumb to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Always gonna let you down
Gonna make it an action game
Always gonna make you cry
Final fantasy 7 say goodbye
Always gonna tell a lie and hurt you

So, so cringey.

(this awful thing)

Part of me died reading that.

Thankfully I have a common sense for cringey posts like that and can skip them easily.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Part of me died reading that.

He's only made three posts on GAF. That same stupid shit in this thread, the remake thread, and another FFVII thread.

Textbook definition of a shitposter.

Dear god, it's been a long time since I cringed this hard.

 

[Murkas]

So, I think I figured out the issue with Best Bromance.

There's a current exploit in Cosmo Canyon that allows you to farm Affection Points with Barrett. If you do this, you glitch the trophy. I did it a few times for safety, and it ended up making it impossible to earn the trophy. Luckily, I had a save from back then, reloaded and played through. Got the trophy as soon as the first attendant talks to you when the date starts.

DON'T USE THIS EXPLOIT IF YOU WANT THE TROPHY.

I used that exploit and got the trophy, so I don't think that causes it unless I got lucky.

X3 speed and no encounters is great. Even used the limit booster and got aeris great gospel already, so fun to cheat and cut down time after all these years!

 

[Son Of D]

Sort of off-topic but it's FFVII and Cloud related. I have to say, if Cloud is your favourite FF character this year has been so good for announcements.

 

[GuardianE]

Welp, there goes my theory. I have no idea then. I will say that it seems to be more consistent among people not using the exploit for whatever reason.

Bleh. I really don't feel like dicking around with a guide to be honest....

 

[Berserking Guts]

It's gonna drive me crazy if every time I go into battle the overworld music resets. Was this also in the PC version?

edit:
Nitpicking, but has anyone noticed music playing when it shouldn't? Specifically when the

Spoiler

pillar collapses on the slums. In the PSX version the battle music is supposed to end during the FMV. But in the PC port it's playing in the background.

 

[Trigonometrize.]

The cheats are pretty dumb except for the x3 thing (not interested in arguing over this so save your breath, haha). Otherwise, it's good ol' Ffvii. Only problem is that they didn't remove the Dyne fight

And does the world map music always play in Gongaga after you fight the Turks? It felt out of place and I don't remember that specifically happening.

 

[GuardianE]

There are some other weird music oddities. Like, when recruiting Yuffie, it's not playing her music, it's playing one of the cave themes.

Yep. And I agree it sounds out of place in Gongaga, but having played the PSX version recently, I remember it being there.

I noticed this. I failed the first recruitment attempt but the second time (same map spot as the first) triggered her theme music.

 

[ispendtoomuchmoneyongames]

Gotta be honest, I'm real glad that using the cheats doesn't lock you out of trophies, I've already accidentally clicked R3 in random meaningless battles a couple of times. The first time surprised the crap out of me because all of a sudden I had full everything (didn't know about the L3/R3 additions). I've definitely been using the L3 after I found out they did stuff though, 3x speed makes grinding so much better.

 

[Ingueferroque]

The easily accessible cheats are so weird to me. I honestly would not have bought if I knew this.. the speed up is fine, but the other ones? Ugh.

 

[Alcahest]

Could anyone help with a little tech question (i don't have the game yet).
With the NA game and the PS4 switched to Japanese language, could you tell me if the controls also switch to japanese controls (O= confirm and X=cancel) or do controls stay the same as when PS4 lang is set to english (X= confirm and O=cancel)?
Thanks.

 

[KZXcellent]

oops

i just tested. The game does become Japanese and O becomes confirm and X becomes cancel.

If you've already started your game and continue, your characters names will mess up (it will be in japanese but all the wrong characters. ie it doesnt say "cloud" etc in katakana.

edit: i'm on the EU version but i'd imagine it's no different.

Looks like the background music resets from the beggining after battle everywhere not just over world. This was a huge problem in my opinion in the ps4 version of FFX that was fixed...eventually. It won't be fixed if we don't complain about it. It definitely did not restart after every battle in the original PS one version, I verified that by looking up an old lets play, it continued the track where you left off before the battle begins.

How are disc changes handled in this. Since I haven't played this before I'm wondering how I'll know I've gone to the next disc

(and yes EU makes no difference)

Not to mention the music is choppy, stutters, and has random quality issues (when the game is streaming data?)

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

Made me laugh a tad.

i love the ff vii dialogue so much lol

sometimes so rude

 

[B.K.]

I'd like to play Final Fantasy VII again. It's been years since the last time I played it, but I can't bring myself to start it. I HATE the game's opening. I have always hated going through the Midgar section of the game. It drags on so long and it's so boring. The thought of it always keeps me from starting a new game.

3X speed and no random encounters should alleviate some of this I imagine.

Funny. The Midgar section is definitely a high point in the game for me. I always loved the atmosphere and wished i could explore more of it.

You're in luck with the episodic remake then!

i've been playing the game with headphones, just got to the world map. I haven't come across any issues with stuttering sound.

 

[cafemomo]

Bought this for the sole reason of a slim chance to get VIII steam ver on the PS4


But boy oh boy 3x speed is a godsend 👌👌
Time to speedrun my way to get Odin asap

 

[ULTROS!]

Any idea how to get 99,999,999 gil easily?

HOLY SHIT putting in the safe code for Vincent is hair-pullingly frustrating

We put up our xmas tree up today and it feels so right playing this again under colored lights. ;]

Jesus christ I didn't realise the x3 cheat fucked up the timing

Just breezed it first try with it off.

NooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I waited ages for them to fix this in FFX HD before buying it...

D:

 

[DiscoDave]

Probably been asked but is it just showing its age or am I using the wrong TV settings. Even with black borders taking up most the screeen the pre rendered scenery is very very blurry. I can get past this but was wondering if I'm using the wrong setting on me TV.

 

[iosefe]

i wonder if they will let him say fuck

 

[RedAssedApe]

think the news about ff7r being episodic pretty much guarantees i will buy this port :\

 

[orochi91]

I'd hold off for now, apparently the music in the game is bugged.

It repeats every time you exit a random battle, an issue identical to the one in FFX HD on the PS4.

It took them months to patch that...

 

[Phat Michael]

So if I buy this game, I can speed up running up stair cases and turn off random encounters? And when I do choose to battle I can win each battle without really trying? If so I'm buying this tonight!

 

[Vashetti]

Welp, just realised I've come to the point in the game where I need to do all of Aerith's Limit Break shit

it is not your tv. background is blurry because the files a reaaaally small. they are like 240p?

yes. if you want to re-life the story you can do it without hassle. and if you don't want to do that and what the challenge..you can do that too.

 

[Suikoguy]

Correct, 320x240.

I would have taken a re-rendered remake, but I suspect they don't have the original files anymore. It would have exposed some flaws, but it would have been monumentally better than the blurry mess.
