General Discussion / Re: [FF7PC-98/Steam] Multiple mods - The Reunion (R05c)

Well, you’re looking at the Reunion menu in those pics. I presumed your (and my) personal dislike concerned the optional restylized menus. All i did was follow this guide (https://steamcommunity.com/app/39140/discussions/0/3022387599798577530/) and make sure to check ‘fixed length character names’ in the Reunion setup. As this thread isn’t concerned with other mods, i suggest you take a look around the forums. I hope this helps you out!

Thank you very much for your help.

What you ask might sound easy to you, but it takes an awesome amount of work on my part. Do it yourself with the tools available.  R06 may make it easier for you. Those check boxes above aren't magic.

What on earth makes you think that it's sane to come and gripe over something that small and that it might go down well with me?  Do you know how irritating it is to make thousands and thousands of changes over countless hours to have a post like yours come along?  And if I changed it, there are dozens who'd disagree with you.  Your criticism isn't remotely constructive - and it certainly isn't reporting a bug.

I will do that.

Sorry once again, then. Good luck with R06c.

@Tails: Does this look like anything you have in mind? (btw my picture of the menu is cut off, not the menu itself)
I am using The Reunion r05c with the translation, without the menu overhaul (no transparant dialog boxes even & with original names: cfr dialog box layout) along with Remako’s menu upscale (as well as Satsuki’s field & movies, music mod, Sega Chief’s no mouth mod & a Reshade crt filter). I am not using the 60 fps mod beacause it stutters on my end and i’m getting graphical inconsistencies as well. Everything runs perfectly fine, and I can’t believe how good it looks, sounds and plays. You can tweak it to be as ‘original’ as you want, by ticking some boxes during the Reunion r05c installation. I share your dislike of the menu overhaul, but it’s entirely optional. I played a PAL psx version of FFVII in ‘97 so i guess i didn’t even notice any slowdown in the menus

Wait, how can you use the translation without the menu overhaul? When I install it, I can only do it alongside Beacause. But yes, this looks perfect!(I also use Remako, but never looked at the other mods you listed.



@DLPD, I only posted that way because you answered someone else after I replied to you, skipping me. First, I only want to be able to use the translation without the menu overhaul, no need to reprogram everything. Second, please take criticism better. In no way I'm being unreasonable and demanding you to cater only to my whims, I'm just stating my dislike for a feature without sugar-coating it. If it bothered you, I'm sorry.

I believe AssailantLF's testing of the menu. Even if the menu overhaul is just a few frames slower, it FEELS off, and it's noticeable. Just like a piece of animation that was made originally in 24 FPS being run at 60 FPS by interpolation, it loses it's "snappiness" and feels weird and slow (it's just an analogy though, I'm not referring to the 60 FPS option or anything regarding the game's FPS).

It's ok if you wont change it, but I do wish I could use only the translation mod and nothing else.

Sorry I'm repeating myself, but I'm actually considering either abandoning the game or playing the game without the mod (which is a shame because the fan translation is great). I really can't stand the menu enhancement mod. I feel like I am obligated to NOT speed up the ATB in the settings, because if I do, I'm putting myself on disadvantage because of how slow the menu is. I even had a Chocobo run from me before I could navigate through the menu to pick the greens.

But then, if I leave the default speed on, I start dreading every combat encounter because of how slow it feels.

Can you tell me what you dislike ?  What specifically - so I can address it if it's an issue.

And maybe send a screenshot.

I'm pretty sure it's not an issue. I just dislike it compared to the Steam version.

There is no "Quit" button (I can get around that, though), the pop-ups are slower in battle, and the little arrow beside the magic name that indicated the "All" property from the All Materia ("Bio >" for exemple), was easier for me to notice/process than the "All" in the bottom-right corner of the battle menu.

The menu without the enhancements just seems crispier and more practical for me.

Is there absolutely no way to only install the Beacause mod WITHOUT the Menu Enhancement? Or to delete/replace certain files to bring the original menu back?

I really dislike the menu enhancement...
