alright people this is one of the most compelling games ever made...it came out in 1997...squareenix is practically giving it away for 10 dollars on the ps3 network...and all i can find is a copy for 100-150 bucks on ebay or amazon....so if GOG gets what we vote for vote for final fantasy 7 ....my god man it only has five hundred or so votes....dont betray one of the most legendary turn based games of all time.

Final Fantasy 6 is so much better.

Didn't realize people enjoyed the PC version as much as the PSX.

well actually i had a ps but my wonderful children found video game stash....destroyed both copies and put them back....so when i found them i had no idea when the little hellions did it so no punishment...only a tear for my lost childhood heh heh heh

I own both, but I can't seem to get the PC version to work on XP, so I bought the PSX version to use on my PS2. If I had a choice, I'd use the PC version only.

+1 here!
I have never played Final Fantasy 7 myself, but I would be interesting in trying it. Besides, If Square Enix joins GOG, we also get that closer to having Eidos titles here. Anachronox, Startopia, Deus Ex, Urban Chaos, Thief, and a whole lot more. That would be legendary indeed.

Was there any real difference other then control scheme?

I believe the PC version was higher resolution, so its better looking.

seeing the loss of *deleted* with a big freakin sword in a higher resolution is reason enough for them to push for a deal

I thought VII was pretty much the middlemark of the series... not nearly as good as the best installments, but certainly better than some of the others.
I gave up on the FF series after #9, though.

This re-release featured smoother graphics and fixed translation and spelling errors, as well as gameplay-related glitches. However, the PC version also suffered from its own bugs, including errors in the display of some full motion videos when rendering in hardware mode on certain graphics chipsets.[44]

If it's patched by all of the fan-made fixes out there, it works a lot better. You can crank up the graphics to make it look, at the very least, presentable. The control scheme is annoying, though (it uses the numpad only for EVERYTHING).

In a bit more detail:
* The characters are 3D, and therefore can be rendered at a higher resolution than on the PSX (up to 640x480, vs. the original 320x200). Optional 3D hardware support means that you could also add tricks like AA and texture filtering.
* The pre-rendered backgrounds and videos are in 320x200, as was the original PSX version. Video codecs were not very mature when FF7 was released, so the compression is bad, and the videos look worse than the PSX version.
* The music was compressed audio in the PSX version, but was converted to MIDI for the PC version. This meant a couple of tracks actually had less instruments, or missing voices compared to the original. The PC CD included a MIDI->WAV synthesizer (Yamaha I think), but it was a bit buggy. Thankfully they went to CD Audio for FF8 PC.
Edit: Nostalgia alert! I just remembered spending hours tuning and [url=http://www.hammersound.com/cgi-bin/soundlink.pl?action=view_category&category=Collections&ListStart=0&ListLength=15]GM patchsets so that I could crank out better sounding FF7 midis, and then and [url=http://www.samplebanks.com/]Synergi once I got my . MIDI can do some amazing things if you put your mind to it... and have a few spare days... but listening to FF7's "Tifa's Theme" and [url=http://www.queststudios.com/quest/kq6.html]KQVI's "Girl in the Tower" just about made me cry. Good times. There's an MP3 of Tifa's Theme here.

I've been playing FFVII on my PSP. It's soooo sweet.

I was thinking of getting that. Saw it on PSN, or whatever it's called for about $6, so I guess it might be worth it. And thankfully, the 16gb memory stick I ordered has arrived, I just have to pick it up...
