Steam FFVII release hits sour note with speed glitches and launch woes

Square Enix’s Steam release of the original Final Fantasy VII has drawn mostly negative reviews from veterans, who point to speed-related desync between actions and audio after a patch, poor background upscaling, crashes on launch, and the removal of the 2013 version. While QoL tweaks like a 3x speed option exist, many players see flawed QA and preservation concerns as the larger issue, though some still hope for future fixes.

FFVII’s New Steam Release Sparks Bug-Ridden Backlash

Kotaku reports that Final Fantasy VII’s latest Steam re-release dropped Feb 24 and already has an overwhelmingly negative reception, with only 36% of 308 reviews positive. Critics cite a forced launcher, stuttering sound, broken resolution options, blurry visuals, and missing features from the delisted 2013 Edition; some patches have fixed issues like doubling the FPS to 30, though that sped up animations, and further patches are anticipated as updates continue.

"Deciphering the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Detail: Oversight or Incredible Foreshadowing?"

In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, fans have noticed a potential detail that could be either an oversight or clever foreshadowing. The protagonist, Cloud Strife, exhibits a difference in behavior in flashbacks to Nibelheim, leading to speculation that his memories may be overlapping with those of another character, Zack Fair. Specifically, a new animation shows Cloud removing his iconic Buster Sword when sitting down in a later scene, suggesting that he didn't actually have the sword during the flashback, aligning with the timeline of events. Whether this is intentional foreshadowing or simply an oversight remains to be seen, but it has sparked intrigue among fans eagerly awaiting the next installment in the trilogy.
