ummm try this site for ff7
www.ff7citadel.com it should work it has latest patches how to play as sephiroth patch so take a look around and for ff 7 hmmmmmmm lemme c Here's what I did:
1) Install FF8.
2) Download the FF8 Official Patch (
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/finalfantasy8/index.html) and OVERWRITE the files.
3) Create a new folder called "Game" in your FF8 folder.
4) CUT & PASTE (do NOT drag & drop, it won't work) ff8.exe and binkw32.dll into the Game folder.
5) Run the game (no compatibility mode, no Administrator access, none of that crap is needed) and it SHOULD work okay.
If you get a "Please Insert Disc 1" error...
1) Look up the "FF8 1.2 No CD patch" and download it. (Note that there are 2 versions of this out... one for the NVidia FF8 Patch and one for the default FF8 patch, so get the right one!)
2) Extract the file "Crack12.exe" to your GAME folder (Not the FF8 folder like the readme says)
3) Copy the following files from your FF8 discs:
From Disc 1: "FIELD.FI", "FIELD.FL", "FIELD.FS", "DISC1.PAK", "DISK1"
From Disc 2: "DISC2.PAK", "DISK2"
From Disc 3: "DISC3.PAK", "DISK3"
From Disc 4: "DISC4.PAK", "DISK4"
4) Run Crack12.exe. This will patch FF8 to read the files from the "GAME" directory instead of the CD.
5) Run FF8.exe and it SHOULD let you play it fine.
Note that I've just started playing, but everything works fine so far... the only problem I can forsee is that "Eyes On Me" probably won't play because the CD Audio track can't be read. I don't think the game will crash because of that, though.
