Square Enix has had versions of Final Fantasy VII and VIII uploaded to Steam's online service for months but they are yet to and likely never will be released to the public, RPG Site can reveal.
The PC versions of the game are based off the PC ports released by Eidos back in 1998 and 2000. Eidos were of course later purchased by Square Enix, which presumably meant this code fell back into their hands.
Most interesting of all, the PC version of Final Fantasy VIII appears to have been edited from its original version in an attempt to force the game to run better (or at all) on modern operating systems.
Square Enix is shifting its strategy to aggressively pursue multiplatform releases and focus on quality over quantity.
Yup, it's official. FFXVI and FFVII Rebirth didn't sell as much as they expected.
Hopefully the next Nintendo system isn't a potato and it can contribute to FF sales in future as well, in addition to PC releases. If this ensures the long term health for SE and franchises than like FF and KH then I'm all for it.
Adding Nintendo and PC customers is the best way to increase sales and long term success. Not going to get that from Xbox.

I'm actually glad. I have my original copies and the psn releases. I don't need to triple dip on these games.
They should just release this with a disclaimer stating it might crash alot. People would still buy it.
From memory the PC versions did look slightly better and less grainy. Plus they fixed up alot of the spelling errors and bad translations in Final Fantasy 7. One minor thing I remember noticing was that in the PC version the character models had mouths, pretty sure the Playstation version they didn't, always found that odd.
