7th Heaven 2.2.3.522 - Outdated
Released 8/27/2020


Note: 7H 2.0 users will be prompted to update to 2.2.3.522 if the 'Check for 7H Updates Automatically' option is turned on. Unfortunately, 2.2 BETA users will not be prompted and must learn of the update by themselves due to the developers losing access to the version check site used in the BETA. Sorry!

*The Qhimm Community "Animations" 3.0 mod, 60 fps option is NOT compatible with FFNx (therefore 7H 2.2)!* It will crash your game. Turn it off. The mod will need to be updated in the future to support FFNx.

Introduction
It's been 7 years since version 1.0. Now, the 7th Heaven Mod Manager has been taken to the next level with version 2.2!
This version makes using mods for Final Fantasy 7 ridiculously simple.

Why should you use this over the original 7th Heaven 1.x? That's a good question!
  • To use this version, just open it, choose your ideal mods, and click Play. That's it!
  • No more messing around with converting your game, load order, or mounting an ISO (Works now even in Windows 7!). It's all built in!
  • Supports multiple languages of the installed game as well as English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian), and Spanish in the 7th Heaven User Interface.
  • Auto Sort button so you don't have to worry if you have your mods in the right load order.
  • Customizable themes including dark, light, and classic modes or create your own!
  • Includes the FFNx driver which adds centered vertical fields (no more big black bar at the bottom), better controller support (including using triggers and d-pad!), antialiasing, built-in cheats like a random battle toggle, speed hack, and soft reset and more. The game will also continue to play even if the window loses focus.
  • Edit your keyboard and gamepad controls directly in 7th Heaven and save them as presets.
  • Comes with new and updated mods from E2QAlyza's Catalog 3.0, Strife98's Mods Of The Round, and Sega Chief's catalog (popular for New Threat).
  • Onboard help, FAQ, and troubleshooting documentation.

Looks great! I'm excited to give it a go! What will the update process be like for those that already have the earlier version? Will we need to do a complete uninstall and reinstall?

Looks promising! Does the new driver come with a default centered field screen and battle screen? And in which folder should I put my custom avatars?

Driver questions don't really belong here, but there's a couple of new options, the plugins have been updated, and some new APIs added to modernize the code a little bit and for better performance. Any further details would have to be asked in the driver's thread and the current developer, TrueOdin, would need to answer them. It works the same way as before, so you would use your direct subfolders (but that defeats the purpose of 7H being your mod manager). Just throw them in a mod and load them up with 7H.

Sorry, the beta invite was exclusive to those that joined the stream on Sunday. Rest assured, there are plenty of people finding, breaking, and fixing so this can be the best it can be for you on release day, 3/3/2020!

Zara9, every time you send me a DM begging me for the beta, I'm reporting you to the moderators. All 5 of them so far. I've already responded to you publicly. You're being creepy and harassing.

Remako is old AF, but yes, it includes them. The Satsuki options are also included and are far better and personally I recommend those.
