The world has fallen under the dominion of the Shinra Electric Power Compa
This was alluded to in the GOG AMA on reddit recently, but here it is. It might explain why FF7 on Steam only recently got its atrocious DRM removed. There was a set of four Final Fantasy games about a month ago, and this one seems to be releasing on GOG by itself. And yes, before anyone mentions it in the comments, this company uses AI in some capacity, if that matters to you. I tested this release of FF7 for about 15 minutes via Heroic/Proton, and it seems to work great, though it does have a config launcher that we may want to disable via launch params.
Are there any projects you could suggest as worth checking out? I love mods but I never really thought about using them with FF7 - it’s just not a game that comes to mind when I think about doing a modded playthrough. Anything transformative enough to make it more than just FF7 but with QoL or nicer graphics?
FF7 has mods for better characters models, better backgrounds and FULLY VOICED CHARACTERS. Yeah all caps because it’s that insane modders voiced the entire game from main characters to random fillers in town and are now working on FF9.
The voice mod is called Echo S but they’re all available through the 7th heaven launcher and work great on steam deck.
I had no idea that they did voice acting mods! Thanks for sharing this!
I played FF7 OG right before the remake came out so I could really see the differences, and obviously used mods to make it more enjoyable for me. This would’ve been a must have at that point, but I am VERY interested in the FF9 voice mod. Is there one for FF8, and do they sound pretty good? :)
Not sure about FF8 but there is a preview of the Ff9 voice mod on YouTube. Sounds pretty good so far.
I was pretty impressed by the FF7 voice work. The quality varies, but I really liked Cid and Sephiroth. Would rank it up there with the better Skyrim follower mods, except it’s soooooo many more lines.
7th Heaven mod manager has traditionally been the way to go. I think Reunion is the most important as a retranslation that improves the writing a lot. There are a number of graphical improvements, bug fixes and such too. Also framerate.
Hm, sounds good but not necessarily like a must-have for someone who enjoys the series more casually/from the sidelines rather than being an active part of the fandom. I’ll keep that in mind for the future, thanks.
check out New Threat which remixes the game, or the Archeology Mod which restores cut content and the original intent of the translators - including lines that were wrong in the original and then fixed in remake (it has a setting specifically keep “This guy are sick” if you were worried).

Excellent, thanks again! I’m going to take a look at them when I feel like going through them.
Right now, I’m in the middle of FF12 Zodiac and FF16. I’ll eventually get to the older ones, just too many good games out right now!
As for Skyrim mods, Inigo/Recorder/Lucien were my absolute favorites, and they were my companions throughout one of my playthroughs. :)
