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.
