A PC edition of
Final Fantasy VII was available for sale briefly over the weekend, but was quickly pulled, and those who were able to purchase the game were not able to get it to play, reports
Joystiq by way of the
SQUARE ENIX Forums. Users were unable to get the game to authenticate, leading to speculation that this was a DRM error, but a subsequent post on
MCV says they've learned that "the title was is not yet ready and was simply released prematurely," saying they learned this from "a company dealing with the situation."

The original PC release was bug filled and shite quality.
You'd be better off emulating this now-a-days honestly, unless you have a PS1/2 sitting around to play it on.
Theres even a fan-created FF7-Hard Type available that raises the difficulty considerably if you dont find the original to be much of a challenge..
But whatever you do stay away from the shitty PC version.. learned that lesson over a decade ago, and judging from the craptastic rollout of this one, and the fact that they did not add a single thing to it besides DRM And "achievements", neither of which are worth putting up with such a miserable port.. not by a long shot.
Modern PS1 emu's on the PC can make the original look quite a bit better than the game originally did, it's a win-win. |
