final fantasy 7


Recommended Posts

go back to this page and try the "unable to detect the FF7 installation fix"

http://animevamp.deep-ice.com/ff7.htm

could work. btw.. does this 3rd party xp patch eclipse all other official patches?

/edit .. btw, also, during installation, I unchecked "install directx drivers" and "install directshow".. i should be ok right? do I need to install this media player? thx

I still pray every night before I go to sleep, hoping that SquareSoft would do a remake of this amazing game (or at least a sequel).

This game is so amazing... breath taking. Imagine FF7 remade with the latest technology..... imagine it look like FFX.

I will wet my pants, and probably a second pair too, if I ever see that.

Well the fix helped... kind of. It started on a blank screen and when I hit Enter on the keyboard, I get the "New Game/Continue?" selection. I move up to New Game and hit Enter again and it stays on a black screen, no sound, nothing. I gave it five minutes until I gave up and ended the process. :-/

Has anyone mentioned that it is now greatest hits for what... 30$

So stop wasting time with others, and just get the game. I also agree that it is well worth it, to remmember the firs time I held a copy in my hand, *sigh.

Takes me back :laugh:

yes, thats becaus eyou need to install the "media player" from the install disc. you'll see it ont he autorun screen. the black screen is the movie and you don't have the proper codec to see it.

anyways.. i tried all of this on the weekend. installed the game, installed the media player. the videos were upside down. so i installed the patch from eidos website to fix that. cool. working so far.

installed this XP patch. makes the text look like ****, but i was liking the ability to apply AA to the game. Yea the models looked tons better, but when I had any AA enabled, I'd get a green grid across the screen. also the game crashed twice in 2 hours.

regardless.. i've uninstalled it. too bad really cuz i like the game. anyone who recommends actually buying this game NOW is mental... it barely works under xp. for all the hassles you'll get trying to get the stupid thing to work, its not worth buying.

you could buy the psx version and emulate it, with that you get to save anywhere etc but i remeber the countless hours i septn on the game when i had it on my osx, those were the days :cry: never seen a game with a proper story like that since :cry:

oh and my avatar just shows how much i love ffvii

ya i could pick up a dirt cheap playstation and play it that way i guess.

It is so much better to play on the playstation, I can't stress it enough. Just get a playstation like I did for $30 at GameStop, it was well worth it.

PSX emulation, for some reason, has a weird shimmering on the ground which really annoys me, and I can't see a way to get rid of it :crazy:

I can't get a psx to play it on (it's gonna cost me ?60-70 new with cables etc which is just short of the price of a gamecube)

I wish my parent's hadn't sold my PC copy of the game (they sold all my old pc games:angry:: )

Edit: I can't find the pc version on sale anywhere (at a reasonable price of course)

And I refuse to use ebay, I've had a couple of bad experiences there.

if only Eidos made the game that could revive Aerith...:(( I would buy the game and play ALL OVER AGAIN!!!

You can do that if you use a save game editor iirc.

Well, they're making a 60-minute movie (non interactive) which takes place I think what 2 years after the end of Shinra. Check out some pics at www.rpgfan.com

I was talking about that just the other day with a buddy of mine. If the kept the game the exact same, redid the graphics, made cooler magic... it would be a work of art. Also, they need to change those worthless rewards for killing the Emerald and Ruby Weapons... I was ****ed when I sat for a month trying to breed a gold chocobo when they just give you one... Summon All was kind of cool tho...

HA! No kidding! I was discussing this with a mate of mine just the other day. It was months before I was finally able to beat Ruby weapon. Man... when I finally beat that son of a b*tch I was so stoked. However, my joy was short-lived for I was rewarded with something called the "desert rose". I was so disgusted I dashed that damn controller across the room and cut sick... No super uber materia. No damn castle slaying sword. No super hyper mega ultra limit break.... GAHH!!!! All my hopes and dreams... dashed into a million plastic particles as my controller collided with the nearest wall..... (N)
