Final Fantasy VII & VIII Coming To Steam

Last year‚ Square Enix unveiled that their titan of a game - the legendary Final Fantasy VII – was coming to the PC (again)‚ with full achievement support and a load of extras. We’re sure the amount of excitement and joy that a number of us felt when this announcement was made doesn’t need to be expressed. Yet‚ when the game (supposedly updated) was released‚ we couldn’t help but feel that Square Enix had hoodwinked us! The game was hardly changed and the achievements weren’t integrated into the overall experience. Boo. Yet‚ it seems Square Enix is redeeming themselves and giving their fans what they really wanted. You will get Final Fantasy VII & VIII coming to Steam to relive the popular games‚ published by Square Enix.

Isn't it already on PC, I remember having played it once.

ThanatosDMC3992d ago

Yup, and it looks really bad compared to ps1pc mod.

3-4-53992d ago

nice. Have yet to play either one of these and I kind of want FF7 to be my first Final Fantasy game for a few reasons.

* First of 3D so the graphics will only get better from this point on.

* It's the one that got so many hooked on the series, so it might do the same for me ( I'm ok with the graphics )

* Not sure If I should play it on PC or PSP though

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O!!!

Don't make FFVII your first into the series. Come on man. At least start with FFIV or FFVI. Seriously. Who gives a damn about the 3D graphics. FFIV or VI are vastly superior to VII in every way except graphics.

HammadTheBeast3992d ago

It's a matter of choice, all Final Fantasies are great in their own way up to X, but the older ones are more simpler and focused.

VII and VIII and IX are all similar.

IV, and VI are also similar.

I recommend you start with IV, or VIII. Squalls story was the best for me.

@Dragon...I don't care about graphics...I like SNES/GBA/N64 style graphics.

I have a 3DS , xbox 360 & PSP & PC.

If I played FF4 or FF9 it would have to be on psp, they are my other choices for first in series.

FF 7,4 or 9.

Wooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaah Cooooooool.

I already have them in my steam library. I have my original ps1 discs. Made images, used emulator, added to library.

But hopefully the price is right. They should just do one big Final Fantasy bundle during the summer sale.

Shadow Man3992d ago

will not play this games until they are remake in HD.

DragonKnight3992d ago

Then you won't be playing them.

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.

I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence

solideagle5d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger5d ago

Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.

carrotcakeag5d ago

@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens527d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens526d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK21216d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens526d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens526d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani6d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum7d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman7d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim7d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

I disagree Batman
