To me it actually looks worse than the PSX version. With the high resolution (low poly) models on top of low resolution static backgrounds looks like shit. On the PSX it looks evenly shitty that it's acceptable, if I should be pessimistic. I haven't seen any mods myself, so I can't comment on that. Actually never heard of any mods until this thread, I'd really enjoy to look into that sometime. Sure, 12 bucks (for a download) is nothing compared to XX bucks (for a physical copy). I managed to get the black label PSX version (not platinum or anything) for 20 bucks. Complete, good condition.
Anyway, my comment on it looking awful is based on the promise of updated graphics, which were nowhere to be seen. And my initial frustration is that I bought some crippled downloaded version, when I could've waited for a steam version.
Vita remake? No such game exists.It's just a cheaply re-ported game instead of a proper HD remake like the Vita got. Save your money.
Oh? What filters/shaders does the PC release offer?
(the quality of the fan mods are... very questionable, and hit-or-miss. Which is surprising, as you'd think in a rampant fanbase, some individuals with the skill would dedicate themselves to enhancing and creating the remake that would never come)
You know guys, I still have 3/4 of the discs for the PC version (there's an install disc, and I lost disc 2), and the install discs includes the Yamaha XG synth drivers, which make the MIDI sound have the same sound font as the PSX version. Or at least close enough that I can't tell the difference offhand.

I know about the z-buffering issue and it's the one thing that bothers me the most when playing PS1 games. I was quoting you post additionally, to emphasize that this is one of the advantages of the PC version.Never liked the "emulated" SoundBlaster soundfonts to be honest The original OST was how I liked it. I know about the graphics mods, I was referring to the PSX version, which the console was plagued with. PSX couldn't handle true 3D due to no z-buffering.
Um, 1 like?hey guys ff7 is overrated give me free likes
Anybody mention that this is just the 1998 version but modded by SE with a custom wrapper yet?
Way to lose the source code and push out a rush job, Square Enix.
This game has only been "milked" like, four times? Original PS1, original PC release, PSN, and this re-release? Maybe one more thrown in there somewhere, my mind is cloudy right now. That's not to bad compared to the famous FF IV.]

Final fantasy VII has been remade a lot now. PSX, PC, PSP (Crisis Core), PS3 and this now. That's five times, it's been remade now.
Remade? Isn't PSN (PSP, Vita, PS3, whatever PSX classics can be played on) all the same exact version? If anything it is a re-release, but eh.
Crisis Core was a different game (a prequel, I think.)
Counting spinoffs, yeah, they've definitely excited many Cloud fetishists.
Their remakes. You can't play the PS3 remake on Vita or PSP.
It's not though. People transfer saves between the PSP and PS3 versions just fine, it's a shared "PSN" version of the PS1 game...
Just an example: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/197341-final-fantasy-vii/63453560
Don't know why I'm pointing this out, I don't even like these games. Oh well!
This the PS3 remake.
I don't know how you can transfer saves between the PSX remake and PS3 remake.
