So, I'm playing the steam version, and I load up my save file, and basically just mess around with my stats, didn't bother with items, materia etc. The thing is, how do I implement my changes? How do I play with my new stats? I hit save, it did nothing, I hit save as and called it save01.ff7, that did nothing too. I already used the in-game character booster, idk if that would impact it in any way. I'm in the right folder (my documents/squarenix/Final Fantasy VII Steam/User_blah blah blah). Basically, I made my changes, how do I save them?
EDIT: So I sort of figured it out. whenever I open ff7 through steam, it deletes the file I created. I read somewhere that starting in offline mode would fix it, so I tried that, and my file was still deleted. I'm going to try to disable cloud saves and see if that works.
Edit2: annnnd.... nope. nada. Idk, any suggestions?
Edit3: woo hoo, figured it out. great tool, now that I figured out what the problem was.
