This means we're getting Super Mario 4, right? rolleyes.gif
Oh god someone linked an FF7 video that had FF7 music. This inevitable leads to...
My heart...MY HEARTTT
My heart...MY HEARTTT
So good to see someone else really like this song! It's incredible.
This. And it was a terrible port. I don't expect much from Square-Enios at all.

Probably putting the PC version on steam. I think they have been considering it for awhile now. I'm down for that as long as they fix the music.
As for the PC mods, can anyone tell me if they have gotten better in the past year? When I last tried them only certain models were updated and some of them were incredibly stiff and awkward.

I have it, the Big Box edition complete with all manuals, inserts etc. All in very good condition, wonder how much it will be worth one day?!
Probably nothing at all

Would they really fix/update the broken PC port instead of just emulating it? Isn't that how these old console games are often released on Steam?

Just replace the shitty quality music that was in the box PC release and add some AA and smoothing, up the resolution and I'll buy again.

Yeah I would like a PC version with some fixes etc etc. Now register VIII too please.

People seem to forget that the PC version of FF VII has a fixed resolution of 320x240 or 640x480, due to the pre-rendered backgrounds. With mods, you can use higher resolutions, but it will look like shit.

Wrong, there are mods to fix that too.

Would you like to show some pictures then?
Which leads to Final Fantasy 7 items for Team Fortress 2.
It could work... Actually, come to think of it, it probably could work. Buster Sword for Demoman!

But those are just textures for the 3D battle arena. I'm talking about the pre-rendered backgrounds in field mode.
When it was released, it was a fairly solid port, it just wasn't ever really mean to be played on anything past Windows 98 and on anything past a Voodoo 2. Tried to play it on XP back in like 2004 but it crashed too much.
Curious to see what SE is possibly doing with this.

Please post all mods to get the game to look like this. I have a boxed version of the game and I must play this right now.If so they better include or support the mods.

I know Qhimm.com has a HUGE FF7/8 PC modding community.
I used to head over there to obtain super high quality instrument packs for FF8 pc. It sounded almost exactly like the original music.
They also had a patch for FF7 that would be able to play and loop the original game music. Those guys are pretty much committed to those PC versions, its incredible.

what's the max resolution you can run on this though? or did they mod it to run at higher res already. I might just grab this.
My body needs FF8 too though.

I do find the latter to be more likely, sadly. Premodded FF7 would be at neat addition to the Steam library, though.

I highly doubt this is anything serious, but when I was passed information on the state of the files for FF7 and FF8 that were on Steam, the FF8 files were actually edited from the original base PC port to make them run better. The edits were clearly made by Square Enix but were based on preexisting fan mods and fixes. At the time I verified that these files were definitely coming from Steam's servers. FF7 was untouched.
Considering this domain was owned by an outsider before this is very likely just SE protecting themselves and registering to stop another having it. They're been becoming more aggressive about things like domain names and twitter handles lately, taking a few that cut too close to looking official from fansites and the like.

More than a PC version I think it could be a new title in the FF7 Compilation. Afterall, it's obvious they didn't finish milking FF7 Series (especially with CC and AC great sales), and VITA and 3DS still need a strong FF to their line-up. This could be their next key-title for portable-jap.
this guys are sick
Holy fuck, I need that mod asap! That is remake quality as far as I am concern.
Make it come to Steam damnit! Between Falcom and potential old-school Squaresoft FFs, I have a reason to use Steam!
True. They just took back @kingdomhearts and a number of Facebook names as well.

No, it's not. Don't let those tiny screenshots fool you. The mods are highly inconsistent. Some parts look great, while others look like crap and out of place.

I don't think we'll hear anything about this. Didn't they register ffxiii-3.com or something like that too?
If so they better include or support the mods.
If it looks as good as the modded PC version I'm buying it.

Considering you have to use fan made patches/programs to properly get FFVII/VIII PC working on newer PCs, it's probably a newly compatible port.
What's funny is, I remember years ago, I think I read from a customer service rep that Eidos did the FF7 PC port and there was very little Square could do to update it or fix things like compatibility. But NOW S-E owns Eidos...
And damn at some of those screenshots, I knew of the modding community and dabbled in some of that, but that "FFVIII-style" minimalist battle screen makes me drool.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
lol, all I remember about the PC ports, apart from the graphical glitches, was that they murdered the music. Syrian-level atrocities up in here.

Yeah, the PC version had a full midi soundtrack, and it sounded awful no matter what your sound card was. That PC version was pretty god damn broken.
