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]
While the PlayStation version ran at 30 FPS (also 15 fps during combat), 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][3]
Japanese PC version includes high speed and no random encounters modes along with a Max Stats option while the Steam version does not.
