I'm just saying if they want to make big opening or big impression on the PC base no better moment to do it than Steam's Sale.

I seriously doubt it. People won't bat an eyelid with several massive deals around.
usually last week of June

They should have made it $20 and given it a new translation
I never noticed problems as a kid but everyone says how bad it is, I wonder if adult me will get annoyed by it

It was the number one selling PSOne game on PSN for like 3 years straight.

Unless totally redone, who cares, the PC ports of 7 and 8 are abysmal.

Yup. Still have my FFVII copy, actually.
It's coherent (and fossilized) enough that people will get pissy if they touch it.

Different markets, different audiences... It will probably sell a good amount but releasing it during the summer sale is rather counter-intuitive.

I can't imagine that it wouldn't have it. The Yamaha softsynth no longer works, next to noone has XG hardware, the built in Windows MIDI player is horrific, DirectMusic (which FF VIII used) has been deprecated, and soundfonts aren't an option for everybody either. So really they are going to have to come up with some solution to stop the music sounding like crap (or just get the rights to use FF7music).
You yay!

Write to Kagari, Stump etc. So far nothing is official.

Yeah I already posted there, I'll do it if it's confirmed for Steam/PC

Man, I'm just now remembering that all those JRPG characters are in their late teens and early 20s. I'm 21 and I haven't even saved the world once.
Damn you videogames for giving me unrealistic, immature expectations of life. Cloud is a VETERAN by 21. How am I supposed to compete with that?

I've been wanting to play this again. Now it's a race between this coming to Steam and Sony letting me play it on Vita. My money goes to whoever gets there first.
EDIT: Unless it's a new translation on Steam. Then it wins.

The site doesn't mention Steam by name, but achievements probably mean it's likely.

I know there was a thread for that, thought this was new thread worthy though as there's actual confirmation that the game's being released now rather than just the domain name, with a price, some features listed etc.

It's not likely thanks to the game's use of 2D pre-rendered backgrounds. And I doubt they have the source material to make higher quality CG cutscenes.

Where did you get the $60 from?
Yes, I know, I just think that the existing thread could have used a title update as the information was taken from the website.
Edit: I keep forgetting mods/admins can merge threads.

I still remember my time with the game fondly. Could very well pick it up
if this means more titles are released on Steam (FFXI!).
during one of those SE catalogue sales, mind you
I am sure there is at least one guy who does.
It says right there in the article. £7.99/9.99
Perhaps, they don't do cheevos though.

They need to fix the translation and the shitty midi audio, or else I'm not buying. Not even at $10.

Seriously. Who wants to play this on PC? Digging up your original PS discs and playing them on the epsxe emu would look better than the PC ports. They have so much wrong with them.
The music and sounds are midi, playstation version is the real deal.
The FMV are so compressed they don't look good at all.
If I recall even the prerendered backdrops don't look as good as the PS version.
I don't think achievements can save this one, for me anyways.

I await the PR where they say they'll remake FFVII if the PC port sells enough.

Now you know how PC gamers feel about almost every game.
People without the discs, maybe?
Or without a ps3 to play the digital version?
Just a couple of likely scenarios off the top of my head.
Last time I played it on PC the pre-rendered backgrounds were all messed up. They appeared as segmented blocks or something really strange...
