Man... Only if this would see a release. Final Fantasy VII in any form is a "Shut up and take my money" situation.
Yeah, it's a shame they didn't take it all the way. Having those two on Steam would have been nice. I still have my original PC copy of FVII, and though it works well enough with a few tricks here and there, I imagine it would take a fucking wizard to get it flawless enough to go retail.
I already have the PC version :), giant old PC game boxes FTW
BTW you play only with the number pad , the whole game, its awesome
I'll get it if it comes out, what can I say, I love that damn game

I wish Square-Enix wasn't full of tight-asses and release these games on Steam. Modders are doing some amazing work remaking the graphics to look how they should have looked (close as we'll ever see to a remake).
I remember playing FFVII on my PC back in the day. Man that game was temperamental. For some reason I could only ever play about a half hour at a time before the game would crash. It added some real tension to those longer sections of the game wondering if I could get to a save point before the inevitable hard lock.
I never had any problems with it aside from the fact that my second CD was scratched, and would not work but the game was fine
I was infinitely more interested in finding out how people figured this out, not that the games have a mod community and are PS1 ports.
The VIII port broke my heart, it was so messed up. Good job I've still got a working PSX but it would have been nice to be able to play it on my laptop. Even sticking the game disc in my laptop and running it on a not-emulator works better than the PC port ever did
Odd I never remember having any problems with 7 or 8 on pc. Except getting my voodoo card to work right with em. Don't remember crashing
The PC version of FFVII was my first experience with the game. Damn thing hardly ran at all and completely locked up at Red's village. Never could get past there. I played up to that area twice and couldn't go any further.
The good thing about not being able to play Final Fantasy is that almost every other Japanese RPG could be a Final Fantasy.
In fact, you can take a Korean RPG, call it Final Fantasy, and nobody would ever complain about it. Heck, even Metal Gear is convoluted enough to be a Final Fantasy game. Remember that Spirits Within is Final Fantasy too.

I got it on PSN so this means nothing to me, but for those who don't it would be really great if they actually did release it.
I still haven't beaten FFVII because of that damn PC port. It froze during the cutscene when all the WEAPONs are waking up, and instead of giving up or looking online for technical support, I simply played the sequence over and over again, all summer, praying it would magically work that time. I cleaned the disc a hundred times. I memorized the timing to make it through that fucking whirlwind maze. When I finally did get past the cutscene, I was burned out.
That was 9 years ago, and FFVII is still on my games-to-beat list :(

@MuddBstrd, I know, right? That thought popped into my mind when I heard about the purchase, ran and grabbed my FFVII box just to make sure.
Played the crap outta both of these. I didn't get my PSX until somewhat late, mainly because these existed.

@Gr3g0ry,
It's on PSN. I was playing it on my PSP just the other day. $10 and a PS3/PSP and it can be yours!

Why can't they be shameless sellouts in a productive way and just give us Final Fantasy VII with analog control and characters that look like people instead of Lego figures?
At this point it would be easier to just get the PlayStation disk and run it in an emulator. Thats what I did before I purchased the PS3.
it's on the PSN so that's good but i would gladly buy FFVIII again on steam. i don't even care about the graphics, they honestly look pretty decent to me (but not ff7 tho, gosh i can't look at that game for too long)
I still have my PC copy complete with the odd shaped box. For me it's the best way to play FFVII. There are a few graphical enhancements such as the transition to battle, but the real benefit is the music. Hearing the soundtrack through my various PC's (still sounds the best on my old Gateway tower, where the percussion is pushed back in the mix) has spoiled the OST for me.
I just wish it worked on my newest computer...the screen goes dark after the Eidos logo and never returns. I'd probably pay $5-10 for a Steam copy just to not have to try and figure out how to get it working.

Wanna know what's weird and works great on modern PCs for some reason? A PC port Capcom did of Breath of Fire IV, that I had no idea existed.
I have 7 working but only after downloading a lot of crap, need different programs for everything, the sound, the cinematics, getting the damn thing to read the install screen, really wasn't worth the hassle tbh.
I didn't much care for the MIDI soundtrack in my PC copy of FF7. Nor did I care for the censorship.
Not sure if proper versions were ever released, but I wasn't very fond of the one I purchased.

First time I played FF7 was actually PC. It was some 5 years ago I think on a pretty ancient machine and the game run great. Now I occasionally play it on my PSP.
I wouldnt suprise me if its Valves fault why the games are unavailable as they have a history for cockblocking Japanese made games, especially low budget games. I find it strange since theyve allowed sub standard western made games on steam but give the cold shoulder to Japanese devs and publishers even though given the translated Japanese Doujin game Recettear and how that shot to the top of Steams Sales charts. So there is a demand for these games.
They seem to like Capcom though, maybe its because theyre too big a publisher to ignore

First 3D Final Fantasy I played was VIII for PC at a friends house. Been hooked to the series since.
Ah, this reminds me of all the fun times I had playing VIII on my PS1. Guess I'll have to go grab my disc and start up my old -cough- emulator.
Square Enix went through a restructuring in early 2010 so no doubt this was one of the things that was cut.
The game needed one or two fan patches so that you could finish the cd version so it's unsurprising that it's unplayable.
