General Discussion / Anyone know where to find FF8 Japanese PC Remaster release for purchase?

« on: 2014-12-08 22:46:22 »

Been trying to get the North American steam upscale release equivalent for PC in its Japanese language re-release, but I can not find it to purchase anywhere. Searched Amazon/Square-Enix store, and I believe it is a download-only purchase that can only be found in Square Enix's JP store (why?), and they don't take overseas credit/debit cards. I'm really hoping I'm wrong though.

Does anyone on this forum own this version? If you're not living in Japan, can you tell me where/how you bought it? I've emailed Square Enix multiple times about it but frustratingly their employees aren't familiar with their own website--they just told me to keep trying my debit card in the Japanese store haha.

On Steam's official site there's no Japanese release, so I'm assuming they don't use Steam for it's re-release over there.

Thanks!

Gameplay / FFVIII Modding Question: Will Steam mods work on the Japanese version??

« on: 2014-11-26 20:48:36 »

Hey guys,

I was gonna buy the Steam Japanese version to play it in its native language, but I want to get the most out of the HD experience as well. Anyone know if most of the mods will be compatible with the JP version, or at least the graphical/texture ones?

If anyone has experience with it, your feedback is appreciated!

Solved Problems / SOLVED: "FF7.exe has stopped working" - Vista, FF7 Remix 5.2

« on: 2012-02-26 02:21:57 »

Hey guys,

I've run across an interesting problem that it seems a lot of people had with Vista and this game in the past, but I couldn't find any definite solutions. Whenever I load up FF7.exe after installing FF7 Remix and Aali's Graphic Driver, right as the screen turns black suddenly I'm kicked out of the game and it says "FF7.exe has stopped working." I've done clean re-installs 5-6 times and the problem still persists. It's also important to note that after just installing the original PC version, then Remix and Aali's Graphic Driver and doing nothing else, it used to work just fine for me in the past. I haven't played this game in over a year and feel like with all the Windows Updates that happen with Vista something changed and now it no longer works.

I also made sure to install Aali's Graphic Driver right by having all 10 saved files filled up, having the ff7input.cfg file intact, and I get the "passed!" message when selecting the custom driver from FF7.config.

I'm using a AMD Turion X2 Dual Core Processor RM-70,
with 4096 MB 800MHz SDRAM and 200 GB (5400 RPM) HDD
and Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit)

(Not sure how much of that info is helpful, I'm purely reading off the computer label.)

I've uploaded some screenshots of my config in case any of it is useful.

Can anyone help me out? I'd really appreciate it.

General Discussion / Legitimate playthrough FFRemix from start to finsih

« on: 2011-02-15 20:23:50 »

Has anyone legitimately played through FF Remix from start to finish, problem free?

I feel like with all these character/battle/field mods and music/patches there's so many problems that come up, and I'm curious to see if anyone has actually gone from start to finish without banging their head against a wall from crashes and sheer frustration.

Basically, is all the time and effort we put into making everything work even worth it?

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / Replacing Cloud as Sephiroth; using Ghast and/or Cosmo source?

« on: 2011-02-14 18:57:37 »

I'm trying to use a hex editor to replace Cloud.dat with Sefiros.dat both in field and battle; basically to play as Sephiroth instead of Cloud. Kind of hard to see where everything starts and ends though, I'm very new to all of this.

I've ran across people talking about Ghast source and Cosmo source in some old threads; what exactly does it do? And any help towards me accomplishing my Sephiroth goal? I'm trying to do it with the new FF Remix/PRP graphics which is why Teknoman Midnight's patch/any old Sephiroth patches just won't cut it. So far I've managed to get Sephiroth to appear in battle in Cloud's place only. I'd love to hear your answers.

Troubleshooting / Highwind can't finish extracting battle.lgp

« on: 2011-02-12 21:02:06 »

Almost done getting the hang of the modding, just have one more obstacle to overcome!

I'm trying to mod Cloud's AC model into my battle.lgp, and I followed finalfantasy7pc's instructions on youtube. However there is one problem I'm encountering that he didn't, and that is when I extract the battle.lgp files to a new folder, it never finishes. It stops at about 97% of the way and then I get this message:

"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately.

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: start Index."

Has anyone else ever encountered this? What were your solutions? I feel like I'm one step away from gaining my prize, I'd love some help getting there!

Troubleshooting / Phoenix Rejuvenation Program in battle?

« on: 2011-02-12 16:15:47 »

Hey guys, I recently installed the Phoenix Rejuvenation Program and just had some questions. Does this only apply to the field or the battles as well?

And if it's only the field, what do I need to do to get the higher-resolution Cloud and other characters in battle? I just installed Aali’s Custom Graphics Driver successfully to my understanding (I chose Custom Driver under the listing, and it says self-passed, ready to use.) However when I tried running the Avalanche High Res.exe, it says I haven't installed the Graphics Driver or didn't do it right. Truthfully put I don't even know what the Avalanche High Res program does, I just assumed and hoped it was for the battles.

Anyone know what I'm talking about and could help me out here? I'd appreciate any assistance, thanks everyone.

General Discussion / Zack Mod - Replacing Cait Sith in your party

« on: 2011-02-12 14:12:27 »

Hi everyone,

I saw a post awhile back about a Zack mod (I believe called Zack Mod 2) where you can replace Cait Sith with Zack in your party for battles. To my understanding it was still Cait Sith's limit breaks, just looked like Zack. The link is long dead now but does anyone still have a copy of it?

And also, would it be compatible with the NPC patch? I think it's any FF7 true fan's dream to play as both Cloud and Zack in FF7 so please let me know


Thanks!
