Key points
- This is a re-release of the 1998 PC port of the PlayStation version updated with compatibility for modern operating systems along with additional new features.[1]
- Slightly better models with more polygons (togglable).
- Little noticeable difference from the original Final Fantasy VII PC release.[2]
- Poorly ported frame rate from the PlayStation version which ran at 60 FPS, as excluding menu screens the frame rate is capped at 30 FPS, 15 FPS during combat and FMVs. This breaks the combat camera and some menu mechanics.[3][4]
