Me too. Guess we'll both post our responses. I sent a detailed one comparing the current PC version on steam, the playstation one version, and the soundtrack version, and how people are complaining and requesting a fix. (I know mods out there. Don't need to remind me.)

i personally refuse the mod i keep coming across on this forum, for some reason it likes to download adware along with it which is a real pain to remove, so i'v just flat out refused to use the steam version till this is resolved.

So is the site that's giving the adware, or the file itself?:X

Edit: Oh another question. When you sent an email, did you get an automated response that they received it? I didn't...so wanted to be sure.

Daaamn,I have this game since a couple of month and still waiting to play. I hope they will finally put the music,like they did with FF7 :/

[PepticSolid1783]

I've started the same dicussion about this. But I removed it since it was old.

well i asked on the SE forums today and im hoping i can get some info

[yourma2000]

I didn't understand why everyone was so obsessed about the audio at first. I used to have the PS1 version of the game and I went MANY years without playing the game. I played the PC version a couple of years ago and although it was a wave of nostalgia, the game didn't have that same feel to it. After listening to audio comparisons on youtube I'm pretty much certain the lack of feels is down to the PC versions music being sub quality compared to the PS1.

Response:

Thank you for contacting the Square Enix Support Centre.


We are sorry to hear that you feel that the audio in the Steam version of FFVIII is not up to scratch. Unfortunately there are no plans to patch the audio or update it.

If you have any other question please get back in touch and we will be happy to answer.


Kind regards,

The Square Enix Support Centre team

Edit: Sent a reponse showing most of the reviews and all discussions about the music.

well they read it obviously as they responded with the correct topic but i guess they had a "script" to follow on what to say, but still enough of those and they'll have to do something. otherwise they are sue-able

Or different people. Hopefully the reviews and discussions will push them as a priority.

Let's keep it up buddy. Even if in the end they do nothing, at least we tried our best and say that we actually tried contacting them.^_^; But at least it looks a bit promising so far with your reply.

just remember we have our rights as customers, we got a downgrade from a "re-make" so we have the right to complain that the item or product is not satisfactory due to this :)
