What's wrong with the music?

it was midi, say One Winged Angel doesn't have vocals :s

 

[xxczx]

That's what was in the PSX manual.

just checked and i guess it did lol. doesn't seem like something square enix would write nowadays

 

[storafötter]

Look forward to playing this game again even if it was incredibly easy to begin with. However I didn't finish the last boss due to the spikes difficulty at the last cave. This time I will try this to earn the Omni slash move as I didn't spend enough time at the golden saucer
Achievements are cool as that will encourage me to actually kill the extra bosses.

Final Fantasy VII with achievements sounds like fun.

If I may add: the MIDI was awful. Lacked the personality and "tinny-ness" of the FFVII PS1 soundfont.

 

[brotkasten]

I'm really wondering how they handled the resolution issue. I don't think many people here screaming "day one" would be willing to play this at 640 x 480.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Wait... this is real? Not some fanpage/ domain squatter?

 

[Roxas]

Mother of god if this is true

 

[tsumineko]

I want them to make mp3's of the music running through that Yamaha sound board for this re-release. That would be perfect.

I would. Why not?

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Really now. It looks like a terrible fake or... the real deal (OMG).

Can't Kagari confirm anything yet?

 

[Pooya]

they own the domain (link in op), and the site is up now with login prompt, it was up before and google cached as you can see.

 

[show me your skeleton]

hmm, wonder if this'll come to xbla. i guess it's already available on psn right? that might stop it.

Oh please god let this be true \o/

Lethal Weapon: Defeat Diamond, Emerald, and Ruby Weapon.

 

[MRORANGE]

FF6 please?

 

[Pooya]

'll update the op in a bit, thanks for the pic Saty.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

FF6 please?

Uh...

Hopefully they go a step further and release FF8 PC HD Remaster in the future. <3 Balamb Garden

I know it never got ported but I would kill kittens to see this game on Steam.

will still get ff7

FF7 and FF8 are on the PC, but that's it.

you forgot 11, 14

 

[JaseC]

you forgot 11, 14

MMOs don't count.

Spoiler

I forgot they existed.

 

[MRORANGE]

^lol, I can imagine tf2 items for scout being the buster sword and a yellow spiky wig.

 

[Jubern]

I was reaaaaaally skeptical when a French website posted that news a few days ago but I guess it was true!

Kinda excited, but I hope they've tooled it a little

Spoiler

(a lot)

to make that PC version more bearable. Also, while I'm not holding my breath for a re-translation (it is a budget re-release), as a French dude I hope to god they'll actually proofread the damn thing this time.

 

[Stumpokapow]

FF7 and FF8 are on the PC, but that's it.

In fact, every FF game besides 13 is on the PC.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Why is this thread not 10 pages long already. I thought everybody wanted a FF7 remaster?

People want a remake, not a re release

People want a remake. This here is like having the PSX version on PSN.

 

[JaseC]

I wonder if FFVII PC Redux is a test case for future such releases? FFVIII is an obvious candidate as it's already been ported, but if these re-releases are well-received, then I suspect FFIX will see a port, at the very least. FFX and XII are also distinct possibilities owing to neither employing the PSX-era series tradition of a pre-rendered game world, presuming the idiosyncratic nature of the PS2 architecture isn't an obstacle.

^lol, I can imagine tf2 items for scout being the buster sword and a yellow spiky wig.

Haha, indeed. In fact, Squeenix would be crazy not to offer some TF2 items as pre-purchase incentives (assuming FF7PCR is coming to Steam).

All I strongly desire is the original PSX music.

In fact, every FF game besides 13 is on the PC.

I was referring to official releases, but you knew that.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Cloud Saves and Achievements... so basically a Steam release. Not bad, not bad at all.

Now get Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy IV Complete on Steam.

Edit: probably an announcement after the summer sale

If it's more than $10, I'll be waiting for a sale.

 

[Glass Rebel]

It's £7.99/€9.99 so I assume $11.99 for the US and $89.99 for Australia

 

[Roxas]

So they already have a price...game has been ready or a year..surely it will be released soon?

 

[JaseC]

It's £7.99/&#8364;9.99 so I assume $11.99 for the US and $89.99 for Australia

I'm hoping, as is tradition on Steam, the Euro and USD price will be of the same figure, however I suspect you'll be right on the money in regard to the Aussie price.

 

[Firebrand]

If I may add: the MIDI was awful. Lacked the personality and "tinny-ness" of the FFVII PS1 soundfont.

As I recall it the music sounded more or less the same as the PSX version as long as you used the larger of the two soundfonts included with the game (which also had the One Winged Angel vocals).

FMVs on the other hand looked like absolute garbage, the seamless transitions between static backgrounds and FMVs were impressive on the PSX but on the PC everything would just suddenly turn super grainy due to the codecs they used.

 

[pelicansurf]

Hopefully this version will be modded to hell.

 

[Glass Rebel]

So they already have a price...game has been ready or a year..surely it will be released soon?

As I said earlier, companies usually hesitate with new releases around big Steam sales. It'll probably be announced and released in mid-to-late-July.

If the recent Thief releases are any indication this is exactly what will happen.

 

[LiK]

uprezzed, nothing more.

 

[RealMeat]

I hope this means more PC support from Square. If Final Fantasy and Metal Gear come to PC next gen, I won't need a console.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

I can't believe it but this actually looks legit. I hope this is successful enough for them to start porting the rest of the FF series.

 

[JaseC]

If the recent Thief releases are any indication this is exactly what will happen.

Excellent.

 

[hamchan]

Title should be updated to reflect the legitness of this?

Anyways I'm pretty damn happy about this. I'm willing to rebuy FF7 and 8 just for steam achievements.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

This is sorely missing from my PC library. Give it to me.

 

[Takamura-San]

If this version can be modded then this is so bought.

 

[demosthenes]

If this version can be modded then this is so bought.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeees.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Imagine if this IS a part of the Summer Sale.

First day and boom, on the front page: FF7 for 10 bucks.

Square would sell 200-400k copies on that day alone.

$10? Pft. It's already $10 msrp on PSN. And I don't care if it didn't have achievements and cloud saves.

 

[brotkasten]

When does the summer sale start?

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Oh, you guys wanted a remake? Have this PC version. It has achievements!
