When they said you could give your party a boost, they weren't kidding.



Edit: Okay, so the cutscenes are easy to replace with better ones, just have to put new ones in the movies folder. The ones that come with the new version run at 15fps and they're 1280x896.

Anyone else have issues with the Launcher having a Connection Error? Game is totally installed and up-to-date but I can't log in to play..

Also: I assume using character booster doesn't lock achievements, does it? :/  That's dumb

How do the new cut scenes compare to the old ones? Are ours better? Or are theirs?

2 complaints...Character booster is dumb :P   And Achievements are satisfying enough, they don't make a sound or anything fun...they just slightly ninja their way up and look very ...last minute...? idk how to put it.

They aren't bad, they're obviously better than the originals. I'd say the ones on here are still better though.

We'll have to get a side by side, Because unless they just upscaled them from the PSX, they should be better, if they just upscaled them... The f*ck SE??!

What's the easiest way to play this with a PS3 controller? Shocked they don't have native controller support...

Xpadder should work.

I might make a comparison video in a bit, I'm just changing all the audio files at the moment.

Well 2 things

a.  I was right.  Same old shit.

b. At least exe changes are easily done. There is no protection so it should be a simple case of original address + C00.

problem of course is that Menu Overhaul relies on modpath which is an aali feature.  I can't see Aali bothering to make a driver for something that now uses directx and would take a ton of work.  So basically...  Menu Overhaul is never going to be supported with new PC.

Of course, the non Menu changes (in my installer) COULD be implemented easily with the new game.  So increase sense limit for example.  Invincibility....

But Menu Overhaul no.  And looking at it, I definitely don't care for this new game anyway.  It is miles inferior to the modded old PC (as suspected), I think my FMV are better too.  Aali will probably add ogg support one day...

I can't really see a valid reason to need this if you have the old PC.   Can someone give a full report of any differences in time :)  8)


More fool anyone who believed that Square would do more than the bare minimum.

what are the actual achievements

edit**  my bad didnt see it in the picture. so the achievments are nothing special. theres only 3 i see that you wouldnt be able to grind and get end game. bahumut zero, great gospel and materia overload.
bahumut zero if you dont pick up the summon materia for bahumut  and you dont get the blue huge materia you wouldnt be able to
great gospel if it requires you to use it and you kill off aeris before you can then you cant
materia overload even if you pick up all materia if you  have to master enemy skill then you can miss the ???? in northern crater cuz its only used once by that dragon

If you have one, I heard xbox 360 controllers work, I will try that once my download finishes. Or use xpadder like Rainboom said.

I have seen achievements for first time use of limit breaks. I am sure ultimate weapons will get them, along with all the rare optional stuff.

I use DS3 Tool to use my PS3 controller on the PC, and that seems to work fine with this.

That is exactly what they did. I suspect they don't even have the original files to rerender the videos.

I made a music pack until DLPB updates his installer:

Also, can anyone confirm if the Unified model installer works with this version?

I'm actually using UMI right now. I'll get back to you momentarily!

Edit: Ran the installer. It didn't seem to work, I haven't checked why exactly. I'll look into it

It should work fine.  Assuming game new game allows change.

Yeah, I'm not sure what's wrong. I even tried out the FF Remix Installer and besides breaking the menus the models were replaced. I'm working with a fresh install and UMI didn't appear to work.

Does it update the files?  Actually update them?  And did you select the correct working folder?  (default will be old PC dir).

In other words is the problem that the game doesnt support model editing or that the installer isnt updating the files?

I selected the correct folder, let me try again, I've already restored to a backup. I'll edit this post in a second

Edit: Yep, doesn't seem to be changing any files.

Edit: DLPB, I never noticed but UMI should be creating a New Folder during installation, correct?

Final Edit: Alright. UMI works, confirmed! Just check to make sure that when you pick your directory to install that it isn't adding a folder. Mine was making ...Square Enix\Final Fantasy VII\New Folder  for some reason! Everything is all good DLPB!
