Unfortunately, this is not the FF7 re-make that fans have been clamoring for.
A few weeks ago, a leaked website registered by Square Enix and dedicated to a Final Fantasy VII PC release caused speculation about a Final Fantasy VII re-make.
Unfortunately for Final Fantasy VII fans longing for such a re-make, this isn't the case. However, you do have something to cheer about. Square Enix has officially confirmed that they will be re-releasing Final Fantasy VII on the PC (only for the Square Enix store, mind you) with new content. Cloud saves and "character boosters," which haven't been described beyond the fact that they will help maximize your characters in instances when you're stuck, will be a part of the new content.
There's no pricing or release date available for the re-release yet, although the previous leak revealed the price to be £7.99/€9.99 (approximately $12.50.)
You can view the trailer and slew of screenshots for the PC re-release at the Final Fantasy VII PC release official site.
I didn't thumb down anyone, and rarely due unless I think they are a total duche bag. But The whole point of having thumb up/thumb down is to express YOUR opinion on someones opinion. You say it's people's opinions they are thumbing down, well their thumb down click is their opinion. Street works both ways, if you post a comment expect to get thumbed at.
This year in gaming is starting to look pretty good!
MechWarrior reboot, re-release of FF7; all that is needed now is a Tie Fighter reboot
I ain't paying one single cent for more than 10 years old graphic quality.
I got myself FF3 on my SGS3...that one is nice..complete upgrade FF3 graphic..
2. I really really hope that the game industry won't follow the movie industry by re-release/re-mix/re-update old stuffs....but apparently COD series and now this....

Hmmm, since I see this is going too popular as FFVII remake announced, qhimm site has a lot of mods but the best that makes use of all mods and makes the FFVII playable even at 1920x1080!!! is the bootleg from pitbrat. Its very good, I would recommanded to any FF fan but the only downside is that the mods that make the game HD are more than 20GB

If it doesn't even do that, I can't see buying it again when I've already got a better looking version.
The magic will stay forever, we don't need fancy graphics, we love the squared characters... ;D
These old games aren't really about the graphics, it's about the story and the gameplay. I am replaying Terranigma now, it is an old game but it is still an awesome one and I have fun playing it old graphics and all. I also regularly play many old NES, SNES, SEGA games for the same reason, they are just fun to play.
Because the old version wouldn't work on any Windows version that wasn't Windows 9x based (although unofficial patches would allow it to work with Windows 2000 and XP in some cases). I own the original PC release and even getting it to run on hardware released at the time was tedious depending on what drivers you used. I had to use software rendering at 320x200 resolution just to get it to work on my old Windows 98 PC, though with the XP patch I could finally run it better but it crashed at the snowboarding part.
I find it hilarious that the minimum requirements have jumped so far with this version, but it makes since so they could make it work with newer hardware (I guess??). I remember the minimum requirements for old version were 133MHz (166MHz w/ software acceleration) Pentium CPU, 16MB RAM, and 4MB Video memory. It used DirectX 5 and even used and included DirectShow.
