Final Fantasy VII: PC Steam Translation
ファイナルファンタジーVII
Puts the cleaned-up English script of the 2013 Steam release of Final Fantasy VII into the original PlayStation version, with modern spell and item names and a fix for the stat bug.
What's translated
The 1997 English release of Final Fantasy VII is remembered for its rough script. The PC version sold on Steam from 2013 cleaned up much of it, and ProjectXsent's patch carries that revised text over to the PlayStation discs, filling a few lines by hand where needed.
What else changes
- Spell and item names follow later series conventions, for example Cura and Curaga instead of Cure2 and Cure3, and Zantetsuken and Gungnir for two weapons.
- The magic defense (Spirit) bug from the original game is fixed.
- Button prompts name the PlayStation buttons rather than PC keys.
- Several Disc 2 crashes and a softlock near Gaia's Cliff found by players have been fixed over time.
Since version 1.02b damage is capped at 9,999 again, a side effect of fixing lines in the Battle Square.
Playing it
There is a patch for each of the three American discs; apply them to clean copies of your own game following the creator's instructions in the release thread. All credit goes to ProjectXsent.
