ps4 version vs PC

[TheFreeWheelin'Q]

Hey all! About to get FFVII and was unsure whether to get it for the ps4 or PC...is there a clear consensus on what the better version is?

[Katiæmy]

The only differences!

PS4 : Cheats
PC : Mods

But, they are the same!

The PS4 version is better. Higher res backgrounds (though don't expect some magic they only run an interpolation shader over it), a reworked frame limiter, the scene is centered so the famous black bar at the bottom is now half the size but now on the top and bottom (looks better that way).

The PC version is still better since most of these PS4 exclusive fixes can be get through mods.

The Reunion mod http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14914.0

This is more or less the must have mod. R06 will be soon available and this will fix most annoying bugs of the PC version. And it will come with a new mod manager. Though, I can't tell, if this is good or not, since we have already a very good mod manager http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15520.0

But the new one will be compatible with the re-release.

There is no must have mods for FF VII, game is fine as it is, of course it may be nice to improve things with mods but there is nothing ''must have'' unlike FF VIII and IX which requires sound mods, VIII especially.

The sound is f*cked up with FFVII, too. You may not know it but the PSX modifies the sound fx in real time through a script. The Akao system, they have created, allows the PSX to change pitch, reverb and speed. The problem is that this system can't be ported over to the PC and this is the very reason why FFIX does have sounds which doesn't sound as on PSX. But yhea, with no experience of how well the PSX did look, sound and play, you do not notice the broken parts of the game.

Sound difference:

PSX - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B43luAxFZKC-SGd0eXdrSmdaeTA/view

FFVIII and FFIX have at last a competent translation which isn't the case with FFVII. So it can hardly be said the game is fine as it is. There are still people who can't start the game or experience crashes and SE isn't moving a finger to fix that even though they have an improved version of the game on PS4 which is port of the PC version.

Hey guys, trying to install the reunion mod, but I'm a pleb and am running into some issues...would love some help. So I'm running the steam version, Im suppose to install the ffvii game converter right? When I start the game converter, a black small console pops up and asks for a installation path. What do i enter there?
When I start the reunion installation, where should i install it to?
And when its all been installed, how do I know if its been installed properly? I think that's it, thanks everyone.
