Final Fantasy VII: Kind of Playable in Retrospect

i haven't gotten the PC re-release, but I remember the original PC port was pretty specifically tuned to the video/sound cards of the time. (I waited for it for years as I never had a PS1). Not surprised there are still issues now, as I don't think they did a complete rewrite

i played through most of the PC version a few months ago, but I took a break once I got to the final dungeon because I got tired of the EXP/AP grinding required to fight Emerald & Ruby Weapon

I had 0 problems w the 2012 PC version, except at the very end in that last dungeon, there is an animated background as you get toward the bottom of the North Crater and it was stuttering. Same with the Chocobo main hub in the Gold Saucer. Everything else was pretty much flawless.

i got the pc version when it came out, cuz i didnt have a playstation yet. i remember when i was in 8th grade i brought my friends over to show it to them and i started a new game, and when the shitty emulated midi music came on they all burst into laughter

i just remembered that i had a sleepover after watching starship troopers and my friend brought over his psx and the game he brought was..........ff7. what a shitty game for a sleepover. but i do remember cloud running around a place w/ a lot of pipes

i always ended up playing horrible games at sleepovers. like Mario Is Missing

lmao

Only sleepover game I really remember was Secret of Mana. It was the kid's birthday and he'd just gotten it. We played the *shit* out of it until whatever counted for super late for me at that age. It was cool cause it was two player so you could get a turn, periodically, but it was also just fun to look at it, such great color and of course more of an 'action' game.

sleepover play for me was when folks got new systems and the most memorable one was when my pal got a turbographix with slaughterhouse and bonk. we played for an entire weekend.
