Anyone buy it? Or are you bastards waiting for a sale?
I bought it the moment it hit the store, and played about 2 hours yesterday. It's pretty similar to the VII remake, and even similarly requires a Square Enix account to launch.
The graphics are better than the original PC release but are on par with the PS1 version. This version allows for larger screen resolutions as I believe the original PC release was stuck at 640x480 without mods. This version has texture filters that make the game look pretty close to the original at high resolutions, but it also has the same bugs that plagued the original PC version.
This release also has the inferior MIDI audio, but there is already a mod available that replaces most of it with the PS1 versions.
So all in all it's a pretty half-hearted re-release. But I've been wanting to replay the game for quite a while now and it's release on Steam (with Steam achievements) is a good enough reason.
