Square Enix has announced the release of Final Fantasy VII for PC through Steam and also the release of a teaser trailer. Retro goodness in modern packaging. Check it out

I bought this game when it was new. I hate turn-based RPGs so I gave it away.
This is NOT a new game. They made no changes to it except support for Windows. Bad game is still bad.
Heh I still have original install (4 cds!) With ultra higb rez textures.
This is the game that introduced SLI/Crossfire with Creatives Voodoo2's.. I remember buying the 12mb versions and linking them up together.. MAN the changes to EVERYTHING in our lives since then *sigh*
This updated version has been around for while, not sure why it being available through steam is such a big deal?
I still have the 3 CDs of FF7 for PC. Barely works today, it's better off to get the PSX discs and run an emulator then to try and run the PC version.
This game isn't bad at all. Check out the reviews. It's one of the best top 5 Final Fantasy Games ever made. Just because a game isn't new doesn't mean it's bad.
Whats the source of those high res textures? Did Squaresoft make them?

Yeah that has nothing to do with nostalgia at all I'm sure
I feel the same way, especially when compared to the near-perfection that was FF6.FF7 was one of those odd games in that it was a step back in someways for me.
Bought it day one for the PS1.
QFT.

Negative Nancy is Nancy
apparently, they don't know how to use exchange rates. it costs more euros than dollars while it should be the opposite.

Actually, what they added was support for steam. This was already a Windows game.
Good luck on that one, Square has converted 2 FF games to the PC, FF7 and FF8 (which was a horrible cluster fuck of a game) although I recall news of them redoing FF8. While I'd love to see a lot of these games PCized (Final Fantasy Tactics mmm..... the real one not that shitty gameboy version) I doubt we'll see much from this front.even though i have the ps1 version i still got this just to hope that square releases all the FF games on steam also currently downloading the 20gb bootleg mod torrent
I may be wrong, but the original release had issues with either post xp or x64 operating systems. Perhaps that is why it took so long from when steam said ff7 was coming until it actually got released.
I remember playing that game when i was young and i'd probably buy it for nostalgia except for the fact that here in australia they're expecting me to pay $16 for this 20 year old game. I mean that's nowhere near the price of new games but c'mon that price is ridiculous for a game that i'm sure that most people buying it would've already purchased for the playstation.
