I found these things a long time ago. The problem with them is that the backgrounds outside battles are pre-rendered and are low resolution, so while the characters etc. look better on the high resolutions, the backgrounds look worse and worse the higher you go. That put me off it because even now I think the background renders look nice on their native resolution.

As for the upgrade in the music, I actually prefer some of the original music in the games to the better higher quality real music that has been done. It's still a great idea though.

If someone could redo all of the pre-rendered backgrounds... well that would be a dream come true. Otherwise I'll stick to playing these on my PSP. Great post though Sagi!
Pretty much this. Saw the background and was turned off. Doesn't look good w/ the upgraded chars. bad mixture.

Yeah, why can't companies think of the pirates for once in their liv-

Wait a minute...

Considering I have pirated this game for many FFXI players to continue playing and thus paying SE since they lost their disks/can not play on PS2/xbox or something anymore and are not going to waste time and money buying them I would saying pirating FFXI is a great thing for SE.

Well for something that has a monthly fee, sure. They're still getting money off of it. FF7~8 and any other game that isn't online is a one-time pay only - the hard copy. If everyone has access to it for free, they can't profit at all D:

Payback for limited storage. I've paid them enough money in mules to cover anything I've pirated from SE.

Odd, I never noticed the healing before then.

Could have sworn he was hurting himself last time I played...

Is FFVII any different on the PC content-wise? When I feel like playing I just load up my ISO (so I don't scratch my CDs) and play on ePSXe.

The original PC version was inferior.

But it's moddable and has been made that much more bearable, just watch that video.

The graphical quality is SLIGHTLY higher, but all the music files are midi on the unmodded version of VII on the PC.

But then it's far superior than the PS version if you use the patch.

Maybe yours was glitched like mine. The first boss's message is glitched on my PS version. It tells me to attack when the tail is up instead of not attacking.

This was my experience playing three or four different Playstation copies. Walkthroughs even say he hurts himself with Sewer Tsunami, which leads me to believe the PC patch changes it.

Yup, excerpt from a guide on gamefaqs says this:

Quote:
One of Aps' main attacks is a Tsunami that will actually |
| deal about 150 damage to him, though a fair amount of damage to everyone |
| in your party. Late in the battle he starts using Sewer Tsunami which |
| comes from the opposite direction dealing more damage to you and less |
| damage to him.

Aps always healed himself with Sewer Tsunami, hence why he used it so much.

Tons of walk-throughs say otherwise. :P

To date, I have not seen a single instance where he DOESN'T hurt himself, until I watched that video.

Oh, well I might be mistaken, I honestly can't remember. Chances are you are correct, as there is an optional 'hardcore mode' included with the remixer patch, which obviously makes the game much more challenging, so it is likely that the video clip is taken from a game on hardcore mode.

Nah it was only in the PAL version he healed himself apparently.

I agree with Flion, the game must've been dumbed down for release in the US. Lawl.

Weapons are not PAL only, as I have personally fought and beaten them. :3

Also.. The sewer thing.. The tidal wave moved both ways, if it went over him first.. It healed him IIRC, if it went over you first, it damaged him.
