I'm guessing it is attached to the SE store because a couple of Steam achievements popped up as soon as I started the game.

Ah finally, some confirmation. I've got a Logitech F510 that will be perfect for this.
If you own a PSP/PSVita/PS3 it's the best way to go.
I'll probably get this when it's 75% off.

12,99 in Germany. What the fuck?
They removed Securom and Digital River download limit, but otherwise the same.
I'm feeling this way. The Square Enix storefront launcher doesn't put me entirely off, but it's enough for me to give this version a miss outside of an extreme sale, "just because." Double standards and all.
And yet I feel that this may be a precursor to Square Enix finally releasing RPGs (i.e. Final Fantasy 15 etc) on PC alongside the PS4/Xbox One releases - even if there are several months apart.
Do yourself a favour and buy it on PSN instead if you have any console/handheld with it. It's cheaper and you can take it on the go if via portable.
I literally have a stack of Super Nintendo games behind me, and System Shock 2 is one of the best games I've played this year.
I'm not exactly an unbiased source on whether to play classic games or not.

I'd have bought it, but always online? Nope. Not rewarding them for this pointless DRM. On one hand I hope this doesn't determine XV's fate on PC, but even if it does we need to send a message so they know it's not acceptable.

No, but thanks. My PSX copy through epsxe is the best way to play it.

If it weren't for the stupid DRM I'd have bought it.
There are some Mods I would have liked to try that would have made the game even more enjoyable than playing it on epsxe.
Worth it for a 6th playthrough at least.

Different people like different things.
Edit: To elaborate, I don't understand how your personal history with the game would influence anyone else's enthusiasm.

Games don't have an expiration date.
Character models are higher quality than on PSone. idk about the BGs.

Fuck, If I knew it was coming to steam I would have waited before buying it for the X-th time and through the shitty SE store...
Bought it again, this was my first game when I got a PSX, nostalgia beats anything, even DRM damn it!

Don't think so, other than character models are more sharp, but the backgrounds definalty aren't redrawn. I might would have bought, DRM and all, if they could try an update the game just a little bit. Even if its just new character models and better music.
In Finland 12,99. Prolly going to grab PSN version for Vita.

I knew it was a bad version of this game but I just couldn't resist getting it on Steam...
It's been years since I last used a controller on my PC, is there any way to get this game to recognize the D-Pad ? Going through the menus with the left stick is a pain. I tried with a 360 and a PS3 controller and had no luck.

It's cheaper here (R$ 19,99 = $ 8,83 as of today) but R$20 is not the price I'd pay for this. I want a PC version of FFVII but the extra DRM and needing another account make me want to not get it for now.
The SE Store version sounds like total ass though, I didn't know it even had an install limit.

Like any piece of entertainment there are bound to be many emotions and memories tied to the subject matter. FF7 is what it is despite whatever shortcomings it may have compared to the industry standards of today. But no one can deny the impact it once had and continues to have upon people who invest a worthwhile amount of time to it.
The question you asked is slightly ridiculous when you throw it in the same light of, "why do people continue to listen to the same albums/watch the same movies/read the same books?"

1. Why the fuck would I play a 18 year old single player game that requires me to be online all the time?
2. That aside, can anyone tell me if FFVII has aged well? I never played it back in the day so I have no nostalgia for it.

It has aged very badly. The combination of ultra-low-resolution pre-rendered backgrounds, primitive-looking CGI cutscenes, and character models with only a few hundred polygons each without any texturing is pretty awful looking by today's standards.
It's also a classic in every sense of the word, and it's famous ending ushered in an age of
Deus Ex Machina FF endings which reached it's climax with the incomprehensible sudden resolution ending of FFXIII.
It's not always on. I played the Square Enix e-store version with more DRM and I was able to play when I lost my internet connection. I'm not sure if you HAVE to save your files to the Cloud though. Some might say it aged well, some might say it hasn't; it depends on how you view older games. It's not a very difficult game, but the low poly models and old CGI can be a turnoff.

Or Square Enix account!
Ok...I will wait & play my PS version. Not in need of more accounts.
I played it on my PSP back in 2009 or so, my first Final Fantasy (not counting FFXI). It wasn't very funny. Ugly as shit. Annoying characters, story that wasn't as interesting as I thought it would be, not very fun to play, slow fights.
Cool atmosphere though. And great music!
But I dislike JRPGs in general.
Just make sure you sit far enough from your monitor and it looks okay. Just like the old days, if you are viewing this on 50" from a vision filling distance you are doin it wrongEdit:

sync achievements with SE store
1. You wouldn't. You'd buy it off PSN for a cheaper price.
2. The graphics have not. Other than that it's still good.

What a shoddy port.
I kind of knew it would be since the SE Store release was subpar. It's exciting to see it on Steam but the DRM and those borders are a huge turn off.
And 12 dollars is at least 2 dollar too high.

Is "Character Booster" an in game purchase? Does it cost real money or is it just a cheat mode?

In fullscreen mode @1920x1080 it still cuts about 15% of the bottom of the screen, is this normal?
I think the PS1 version is the better option, always online and the fucking around with save files in the Steam version.
Just a cheat mode, no purchase necessary.
Not certain but I wouldn't think so, you're going to need that 15% for the third character in battle.
It's a cheat mode. I forget if you need Gil for it, I haven't played the e-store release in a while.
