New user here, just getting started on a legit copy of FFVII PC. You see, I own a copy of the playstation version, and played that halfway through around the time of its release. My copy disappeared and I never replaced it. More recently I downloaded the Ultima version (to see what happened in the second half!) and played halfway through THAT--only to have my hard drive die!
Now, I am purchasing a retail copy of FFVII PC on eBay and want to have the best experience this time through. I've gone through lots of threads and posts here, but as a new user I am kind of confused about patch compatibility and the order I should apply them in. If you've already got an explanatory thread about that, somewhere here that I missed, my apologies.
If not, could someone please fill me in on the best enhancing patches to apply, and in what order, to what version? I'd just like the cleanest, best looking/sounding/performing setup you guys have got. Thanks for your advice on this slightly confusing matter...
