For many of us, Final Fantasy VII wasn’t a PlayStation experience; it was a PC experience. It was four CDs installed onto a hard drive, eating up a massive chunk of our 4GB storage limits. It was the Eidos logo flashing on screen, the clumsy Midi music, and the sheer magic of seeing those blocky polygons against a pre-rendered background on a CRT monitor.
Some argue the sterile, electronic MIDI versions of Uematsu’s scores give FFVII a strange, cyberpunk-adjacent quality. The harsh synth leads in "Fight On!" (the boss theme) feel more industrial. It’s not better—but it is different , and that difference is worth preserving. final fantasy vii pc original unmodified
