New version of original Final Fantasy VII for PC now available

Square Enix has made the updated version of the classic Final Fantasy VII available on PC through Steam and GOG for $11.99.

If you already bought Final Fantasy VII on Steam, you’ll get the updated version at no extra cost. You’ll still be able to play the original version, which will be called Final Fantasy VII – 2013 Edition. However, the 2013 Edition is no longer sold, and you can’t transfer your saved games between the original and the new versions.

Here is an overview of the updated game, via its store pages:

About

The Shinra Electric Power Company now controls the world, having taken over the planet’s energy source, known as Mako. In the huge city of Midgar, a rebel group called Avalanche is actively fighting back against Shinra’s control.

Cloud Strife, once a top soldier for the Shinra Corporation and now a gun-for-hire, joins a rebel group. He soon finds himself caught up in a huge fight to save the planet, all while uncovering the mysteries of his own forgotten history.

This product is an enhanced version of Final Fantasy VII – 2013 Edition, offering new features while keeping the original story intact.
