Organizing Summons in the battle menu

[Supermarine]

I played FF7 back in the day and I can't remember if this can actually be done.

I know you can arrange materia and remove all from a character, and also reorder the battle commands (cure, elemental, throw, etc.).

What really bugs me is to select a summon and then having to scroll down a long, empty list until I find the name of the creature.

I know FF8 has this feature. Is there a way I can reorder/organize the summons list?

It is not possible i'm afraid. You can scroll a page at a time, which i realise is only like 4 rows at a time but it helps :)

Really? So... both SE and the fans for 15 years have simply ignored this blatant design flaw?

It's hard to believe.

They kept most/all of the bugs in. Frankly, i'm glad they didn't mess with it, i kinda like the bugs :$

Can you bypass that in FF8? I mean maybe there's a difference between the PS version that I played recently and this PC release on Steam but I didn't know you could rearrange the summon order. As far as I knew they stayed in their respective areas like in FF7.

Then again until my second playthrough of FF7 I also didn't realize that you could use that giant exchange materia screen to more easily plan out your stuff... =_= lol.

It's fine as long as you don't mess with a good thing :)

The problem is that they actually added new bugs to the old ones... and useless "features" like cloud saving and character boost without polishing the rough edges first. Don't even get me started on the music.

Don't, get me wrong, I love the game but certainly I'd like a little bit of dedication towards us customers. It's hard not to think "money grab" when SE keeps behaving that way.

In don't know about PS or any other console, but I own the old PC version and you can customize that.

Hmm, interesting...

I don't mind the cloud saving feature since it is a nice backup for your files and it doesn't affect your gameplay, either. If, for instance, their servers are overloaded or your internet is down, you can still play using your locally-saved files. I wouldn't use something like the character booster myself, but it doesn't negatively affect me personally so I just ignore the fact that it exists. :P

Also I thought this PC "re-release" contained the original FF7 music? I know the first PC release had the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ stuff but this is the... re-release, which sounds so dumb.

And as far as I'm concerned, SE isn't going to do ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with FF7 unless they're seriously in trouble financially. Reproducing FF7 is like their ace in the pocket, man. And after the days of FFX I've felt the merger between Square and Enix was a downhill ride... :/
