We had several confirmations that steamspy data is very accurate

This winter sale Final Fantasy 7 reached 1 mln sales, for a game that's almost 20 years old, it's very impressive deed, of course it's nowhere near top steam sellers of all time but it was released relatively recently and it is a singleplay game.

Do you think it's a good indicator how FF7R could sell on steam?

 

[DesuNe]

Thank God the leged lives. I heard this guy are sick.

 

[Acquiescence]

Sounds like Leged fared better than Aeris then.

 

[LewieP]

Do you think it's a good indicator how FF7R could sell on steam?

I imagine FF7R would sell better.

 

[Shizuka]

Where's your leged now?

 

[fvng]

Not my favorite FF but glad the classics are pulling these numbers

 

[Arthea]

oh boy, I can't get a break
can same mod fix the title, thank you in advance!

 

[DKHF]

Yes FFVIIR (part 1 at least) will sell very well on Steam... If it's well received.

 

[Corpekata]

I don't think it's a good indicator of anything really beyond that FF7 is a classic.

I'd wager 7R would sell better just on virtue of being not an ancient game that a lot of the fanbase has bought a half dozen times by now.

I'll be honest i clicked the thread just to read these kind of responses.

 

[JasonUresti]

Is Leged a crew member on Capitan Todd's ship?

 

[Eggbok]

Read the title as "1 min copies", I was so confused.
Why make millions when you can make....minutes?

 

[Living Proof]

Thank God the leged lives. I heard this guy are sick.

Perfection

 

[brotkasten]

I wish they'd update the game with the additions of the newer versions, with a high-speed and no-encounter modes. Also, removing the SE Account DRM would be fantastic.

 

[Hasney]

Well fuck, now there's not point in me finishing the PS4 version!!

 

[Durante]

I'm sure FF7's performance has a lot to do with the deluge of FF ports on Steam.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Now convince Atlus to develop on Steam and we're done.

 

[Pranay]

FF 7 is a classic, it will sell well where ever it releases.

 

[Silent Chief]

It will sell if it's cheap. What's the price of the old FF VII?

 

[JaseC]

What's the price of the old FF VII?

The base price is $12.

 

[Philippo]

The Remake is going to sell like crazy.

 

[hamchan]

I think this is the one game I'll just buy on every platform it comes out on for eternity.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Didn't it also recently reach 1 million sold on PSN?

It makes me happy how many people still want to play this game despite the aged graphics.

A true classic.

Even if part 1 is $60 it will still sell well as long as it's well received.

I think it did for PSP, PS3 and Vita. Doubt the PS4 version has hit 1 million yet.

 

[Llyranor]

Does 7 have the speed boosters that 8 and 9 have on Steam?

 

[Falk]

Does 7 have the speed boosters that 8 and 9 have on Steam?

No. For whatever reason.

 

[JaseC]

Does 7 have the speed boosters that 8 and 9 have on Steam?

No, just a "character booster":

With the Character Booster you can increase your HP, MP and Gil levels to their maximum, all with the simple click of a button, leaving you to enjoy your adventure.

You could use something like Cheat Engine to increase the overall game speed, though, if the battles are too slow.

 

[Ingeniero]

Very good for them.
I bought a copy from PSN, haven't played it yet.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Congrats on the success.

 

[Madrugador]

Don't forget to port Final Fantasy Tactics Square-Enix!

 

[brotkasten]

Does 7 have the speed boosters that 8 and 9 have on Steam?

No and that's my biggest issue with this version. I really wish they'd update it.

 

[Isaccard]

You say it like its a bad thing.

Bah, that sucks. Seems the ps4 version DOES have a high speed mode, and it's based off the pc version :S

 

[Falk]

PS4 also got a superior set of cheevos, for what it's worth.

 

[Valonquar]

I'd like to see a stat that shows how many players played it to completion, and how many stopped playing before leaving Midgard.

 

[Arthea]

the steam version has achievements.

average play time is 24 hours, what would say that many left Midgar just fine

 

[Falk]

the steam version has achievements.

Well yeah

 

[bobawesome]

the steam version has achievements.

Yeah, but Steam achievements don't mean anything.

Related, global stats for completing Disc 1 is weeeeeeeeeeeeee bit further on, sits at 15%

FF Games on Steam have boosters, what? Don't tell me they put in microtransactions in these classics.

If they're just regular cheats, I'm ok with that.

 

[Unai]

I don't know if you aware, but the DRM in the Steam version is only a one time activation and than you can play offline forever.

Just regular cheats.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

No achievements mean anything.

 

[Arthea]

seriously? or are you being sarcastic?

 

[Joey Ravn]

If you haven't yet, install the shit out of this mod:

The Reunion b04

It includes a retranslated script, better performance (60 FPS battles!), menu enhancements, model improvements and much more. And the best thing is that everything is modular: you can install whichever module you want and ignore the rest.

Seriously, it makes the PC version of VII the best version by far.

 

[Htown]

Yeah, but Steam achievements don't mean anything.

No achievements mean anything.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Edit: Misread a letter.

 

[Hockey123]

One leged angel was a great final boss song.

 

[Falk]

(60 FPS battles!)

I haven't been keeping up - last I looked into it half the animations were simply playing faster (the mod was tweaking animations one by one and was WIP)

Is it in a complete state now?

 

[NoblesseOblige]

No achievements mean anything.

seriously? or are you being sarcastic?

No achievements mean anything.

I think the implication was that it's much simpler to 'cheat' the achievements on steam using an unlocker. I'm sure there's a way to do it on PSN too but it's not going to be anywhere as easy. But I agree, achievements really don't mean anything. Which is why I don't care when people use an unlocker.
