This page is for the 2012 re-release. For the original 1998 version, see Final Fantasy VII.
Key points
- This is a re-release of the 1998 PC port of the PlayStation version updated with compatibility for modern operating systems along with additional new features.[1]
- Slightly better models with more polygons (togglable).
- Little noticeable difference from the original Final Fantasy VII PC release.[2]
- While the PlayStation version ran at 60 FPS, excluding menu screens the PC frame rate is capped at 30 FPS, 15 FPS during combat and FMVs, breaking the combat camera as well as some menu mechanics. 60FPS BATTLES mostly alleviates the combat situation.[3][4]
