This may have been answered already, but which versions of FFVII on PC is this compatible with?

Quote
The Reunion is only compatible with 1998 English and Steam English versions of Final Fantasy VII.  If you are using Enix 2012 English, please consider using the converter, found HERE

There are 2 bars because of the Break-9999 option

Nah, it's cool.  You can release it separately if you want, but I'm finalizing that version and moving on to one complete work.  I'll only be updating the retranslation in that version from now on.

Okay thank you Vir, I just wanted to make sure because I remember reading somewhere that the steam version wasn't going to be supported, good thing that changed.

Hey the article is nice :) And that's nice to know a bit more about yourself.
The article makes me love Beacause even more ( and damn I didn't even start to play it x) )

It's been 4 -5 years me holding off playing VII again. It's been like 9 years since my last playthrough. But before the next one occurs, I'll be taking one or two months modding the game ( well, applying mods, that is ).
If there had not been so much wait and so much desire to rediscover VII through a real playthrough, I would have really been happy to take on the task of replacing the dialogue boxes right away. But I'm not declining it, I may be doing it during the next playthrough ( like, 5 hours of true playing, then I go through that part again for the boxes, then true playing, and so on ) or after I finish the game, we'll see. Ah shit, but I wanted Weapon too x)
But well, playing again will surely help me identify better the SFXs ( don't know if you're still keeping an eye on this.. well, an ear )

Ow, and about the new overhaul, Daniel you are crazy ^^ but cheers !

Ah, and I didn't happen to ask you earlier, but do you receive the answers to your pm's ? Or I have to have you in my buddy list for that ?

Yeah but I probably added you?

Any case, I will be sorting the dialogue boxes as I make my walkthrough which begins soon.

I don't know, but you weren't on my list. Now you're added. Don't know if it makes me appear in yours.

Okay !

Just wanted to throw in my thanks. I read the Eurogamer article as well and I'm so happy to see the retranslation completed. As someone who has always been bothered by VII's localization as well, you're like a hero to me dude 8) I hope the best for your future endeavors!

You're most welcome :) Luksy and I finally managed it.  Although, it was not five years... that was just because of work and life.  Huge gaps.  I reckon had we been sat in a room together, it would have taken 3-5 months. But considering when this was all started, yeah, it's been a long time!

I think its cool there is an article on it, but why pick that mod and not the graphics mods?

I remember there were some articles about 'bootleg' but i think eurogamer should make something about the pre-rendered backgrounds that are being remade, maybe it can create awareness as that is the one thing that looks really bad about the game.

the FF8 voice over project is also pretty cool, maybe an articel will get made about that.

I'd say the translation is a priority over everything else because it's half the game outright... the story. And it was probably the worst thing about the original game.  It makes a huge impact.  Making a background higher quality doesn't quite do the same thing - it's still the same background and not much has been gained compared.  Plus, there is no true re made background project that has been completed.

It's taken ages to get this one completed and no-one took any real notice until it was.

The Menu Overhaul prroject I and Kramner worked on has largely been ignored by people outside of Qhimm's for much the same reason as the background updates are.  They may make the game look more polished, but they weren't completely broken as to ruin a gaming experience.

In my view, the only two things that are totally broken about original FF7 are the translation and the game balance / difficulty.  (oh, and Cait Sith).

edit.

In other news, I am still thinking long and hard about how to proceed from here with the current installer.  I'll figure it out and make a final decision soon though.

Well, Ozmy's Field Pack from 2013 (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=12260.0) has improved the backgrounds' look enormously. An attempt that has been more or less reproduced later on also by YarlSon's Sampled 2.0 (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=12260.0).

They would be mandatory to any decent modded game IF it was not for the technical limitations reported (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15335.msg215497#msg215497) and for which it seems there is no solution.

If I am not mistaken EQ2Alyza has done the same for battle scenes and world map textures (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14469.0).

Yep, I used the same methods as Omzy for battle and world.

lol not omzys texture pack, I was refering to the team avalance ones that make the game look like a remake of sorts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLukCBHvaGA

also i think more people complained about the deformed field models and the battle maps qauilty more than the dialogue.

if i could have every background look as good as that, and the replaced character models and battle maps, HUD etc, vs. the translation i'd go with the former.

maybe im a graphics nut, but its hard to look at those 320x210? backgrounds in this day and age.


I also think 'broken' is relative, id argue that FF8 and FF2's leveling system is 'broken' even if it is by design, for FF7 the translation was quite poor, but after the cutscene was over you still got a general idea of what's going on ,your brain doens't typically remember each word of dialogue that was said, and how well it was said, about 5 minutes after the scene.

I think the new threat mod makes the biggest impact as well, he is now adding real customisation to party members via 'souce points', along with a total game rebalacne this makes a far larger impact.

but with that being said this is the mod I am looking forward to playing the most, along with 60fps, once it's in 7th heaven I'll play it, maybe it will make a bigger impact than I think, I just hope eurogamer maybe makes an artical later to mention the work done on character models, over map replacer (which looks amazing).


---

oh yeah if your looking for another game to re-translate maybe you should give secret of mana a go, for some reason that never got a fan translation, even in the ios/android enhanced re-release used the original one.

I also wish someone would do an audio mod for it to fix the audio cutting out, now that we have that SNES mp3 mod of such.

A special thanks goes out to a few of the members
http://thelifestream.net/forums/showthread.php?t=16989

Thanks for all your "help". 

Really nice to see this project stick it to the people there. Their "community" didn't help in the slightest. Now that the project is released and they were proven wrong on just about everything, the sheer animosity and hatred is laid bare for all to see.

He gets an article to himself? Did he actually do anything worthwhile other than boss people around to do the work for him?

 ;D

As for the line

"The person in there is ill"

It can be changed if enough people think it sounds odd.  But we can't say "This guy is sick/ill"  because she is outside the pipe and you have no idea who she is talking about (in other words, the scene itself is odd). To be honest, I just think it's an excuse to criticize...

how about 'that guy is ill' and doesn't she do a wave hand animation implying she is pointing to him?
