Hello, I'm Japanese.
In Japan, the Steam version of FF7 is unavailable for purchase.
It can only be purchased at SQUARE ENIX STORE.

However, since STORE's FF7 doesn't support OpenGL or Game Converter,
 I'm having trouble using 7th Heaven in Japanese.

I'd like to beautify the background jaggies somehow.
Is it possible to replace a background texture directly in a folder?

It might support the Game Converter if you rename some of the files. I’m not familiar with the Japanese file names. Can you show screenshots of your game folder and /data folder?

flevel.lgp might be named jflevel.lgp?

Toen ik de naam jfleve veranderde in flevel, werd de tekst verminkt. :cry:

1. Make backup copies of the Japanese files.
2. Rename the Japanese files to the English versions.
  • ff7_ja > ff7_en
  • lang-ja > lang-en
  • jfleve > flevel
3. Run the FF7 Game Converter. Choose English if it asks about language.

Try launching the game. If it works, come back here for the next steps.

I followed the instructions and confirmed that the English version remains in Japanese.
I've played as far as Guard Scorpion and had no problem with it!

I'm waiting for the next instruction. :D

Oops... :cry:
I made a complete mistake.
That image is from when I started with FF7_Launcher.exe,
As soon as I started with FF.exe, I found out that it was garbled.

By the way, the game converter is
Does it match FF7_GameConverter_0.11?
I also tried FF7_GameConverter_7H, no change.

Also, do I need to change the world_us and menu_us?
Thank you for your time, EQ2Alyza.

This image is the client that appears when you open the FF7_Launcher.exe...

It's because there's no JP in the CD folder...?

Sorry for the late response. I’m living in Fukuoka (福岡) and busy with the state of emergency changes :|

Yes, change world_us and menu_us. CD is not a problem, so ignore it. You can use FF7_GameConverter_7H.exe. Please try it again after changing world_us and menu_us.

Follow this guide for using the 7th Heaven tool to mod your game: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15520.0

It’s very easy to setup, but it only supports English for some mods. I don’t recommend using any mods that involve language unless you want to play in English. You want to mod textures, so that’s fine. Textures don’t change the language. Try to download “Qhimm Community - Field Textures” and play with them.

Please come back if you have any problems  :)
