This page is for the original 1998 version. For the 2012 re-release, see Final Fantasy VII (2012).
Key points
- Modern Windows versions will need the TrueMotion 2.0 codec to run.
- Thriving mod scene.
- 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.[2]
