    UPDATE: Another patch just dropped that fixed the speed in battles. Along with this, there seems to be a weird screen tearing issue, but I fixed it by switching from fullscreen to borderless windowed. With the speed in battles fixed, this is pretty much just a SLIGHTLY better version of the previous port. I do appreciate the in-game settings menu and addition of Steam trading cards and points shop. It's also the exact same price as the version this replaced, so no harm there. An…

    - All fields, FMV's and textures are blurry due to a non optional filter. - Sound effects that loop now stutter (The exp bar for example after a fight). - The unnecessary launcher uses sound effects from a completely different game (FF8). - That same launcher can also be interacted with THROUGH your other windows somehow. - Setting the resolution in the launcher doesn't actually change your resolution, you need to change it via the new in-game escape menu. - Game released with no game,…

    Why delist a previous version especially if you do absolutely nothing with the re-released version and leave it a buggy mess? Are you just attacking the mod community, your fans, that keep your game alive and your business? Are you jealous they do a better job then you have been doing to update the true classics? Absolutely no reason to delist a game and get/trick people to buy multiple copies of the same game.

    They ruined the sound effects and the menuing. Every time, EVERY TIME this company does something as simple as "put game on steam" they seemingly RUIN something new, I swear it's an actual business decision by SquareEnix at this point. - Menu sound effects don't match up to the OG. Meaning you scroll the menu just as fast, but the menu SEs play at half speed. - Tifa's Beat Rush limit break literally doesn't play the entire sound effect - it cuts off after the first punch.

    The third and final part of the FF7 Remake trilogy just got a release date at the time of writing this review and this will inevitably shine some spotlight on the original with people wondering whether or not it's worth picking it up before (or after) playing the remakes. So treat this review as a FAQ of sorts. Can I just skip it and go straight to the Remake trilogy? Yes and no. The FF7 Remake Trilogy is very meta about being a remake: it treats the original game's events as a sort of canon…

    When judged as a vanilla product, this version is objectively better than the 2012 release previously available on Steam. The removal of the Square Enix account DRM is probably the biggest positive. This version did launch with a serious issue (battles running at double speed), but the developers released a fix surpsingly quickly. Of course, the loss of modding is a BIG negative, but i'm confident that the extremely talented and dedicated modding community of FFVII will find a way to port their…

    Edit: The triple speed issue is now fixed, I've kept the below review intact as of release day. This still does not feel like a major improvement Why do battles run at triple speed by default? And why does a re-release of a PS1 game have its own dedicated launcher? How do you make an arguably worse release of a PS1 game with an already middling release from 2013? The console port this was based on was fine as it is.
