This version is based on the original PC release, which was based on the international version of the game, adding visual hints amongst various other concessions. Primary-coloured headlines, fawning editorials and bar-stool critiques have overlooked much of the nuance of what is a broad, generous game - far more interesting and complex than the love/hate apologising accounts for. Rather, Final Fantasy 7 has suffered from 15 years of myth, anecdote and opinion. Its characters, once seemingly the most expressive actors ever pushed onto a video game stage, are now as strange as balloon animals, all bulges and protractions, their weird deformation all the more grotesque in high resolution.īut it's not these surface aspects of the game that have been most wounded by time's arrow. Sure, its 330 locations, pre-rendered in the finest CGI that yen could buy in 1997, now appear jagged and antiquated: a steam-punk world viewed through the mist of an 8-bit kettle. Sets of cards can be turned into game badges and tradable Steam community items.įinal Fantasy titles on Steam with trading cards are Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2, and Final Fantasy Type-0 HD.Time has been cruel to Final Fantasy 7 - but perhaps not in the ways you expect.
