A new version of FINAL FANTASY VII is on the way. Current version owners will retain access to the 2013 Edition and will be eligible to obtain the new version at no extra cost.
My hope is, they will remove the launcher and SquareEnix account requirement. And make some further modifications to make the game Steam Deck verified.
Wow I just tested it. Game does not run anymore, and I get connection error. I have internet access, so probably the servers are shutdown. So the original game (what will be renamed to 2013 edition later) is unplayable. I just downloaded it and tested.
When the 2013 version released I died during the bomb run in the intro because I tried to save the game and the cloud sync took so long the timer ran out.
Iirc you do not need one to play it, only to use cloud saves. It has been a year or two since I did my play through so take that with a grain of salt though.

Mine launched fine.
Working well for me, cloud saves and all.
No connection issues here so maybe a coincidence you couldn’t connect?
@[email protected] Now it works for me too. Looks like a temporary issue. But it was an issue nonetheless, bound to some server.
You need an account to play a ps1 game???
Why??

Gotta appreciate the irony of requiring a login to play a PS1 era single player game. It’s more convenient to just emulate at this point.
