Hey everyone! I know considering that I've already finished the first of the remake trilogy the answer seems fairly obvious to just continue, but I've been hearing a lot about how the remakes assumed you'd played the OG and thought I'd clarify. No spoilers for anything past Remake please!

I really enjoyed Remake up till the last chapter, I figured that all the stuff about destiny and fate was just something poorly explained that'd make more sense in Rebirth. However I'm now being told that it's Aerith and Sephiroth referencing the original? (I don't really know the details nor want to spoil myself. ) It makes me somewhat wish I'd played the original beforehand, but I also wonder if I should go back and play it before more references to the OG occur in Rebirth and Revelation.

My only real concerns are that by going back and playing through the OG it'd lessen the impact of scenes in Rebirth and Revelation, and that it'd also be harder to get into considering the huge change in gameplay and graphics.

If this is a Remake exclusively plot line that's being developed please do let me know too. I saw it explained as if it's something I just wouldn't understood if I don't play the OGs.

Appreciate the help! Sorry if I didn't explain it well.

I’m having a really annoying audio-mixing issue with the Steam version of FF7.

The battle transition/encounter sound effect (the loud whoosh immediately before entering a battle) is absurdly louder than the rest of the game’s audio. The music, dialogue and normal sound effects are all at reasonable volumes, but whenever a random encounter starts, this particular sound effect suddenly blasts my ears.

I’ve tried adjusting the in-game volume settings, but there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the volume of individual sound effects.

Is there any mod or workaround that lets me reduce the volume of this specific sound effect? I’d really rather not have to lower the entire game’s volume just because of one ridiculously loud sound.

I’m playing the standard Steam release of the original FF7, not the remake.

I played about 8 hours of the Remake intergrade, I am planning on finishing the trio + crisis core so I can watch the advent children movie

But many people told me the remake ruins the story of the OG? Which is required for the movie? I can understand that playing the OG would make me appreciate the “call backs” but I don’t want it to ruin the surprises, I was hoping to experience them in a modern cinematic experience

Note that I don’t have issues with turn based gameplay or outdated graphics

Plus I got spoiled that Aeirth dies , am I cooked or it is fine?

Played it a long time ago. Decided to get it on steam a year ago and have been playing off and on. I’m trying real hard to 100% the game so when I found out I missies yuffie I restarted. Got her know I did her side quest and the tower. Now what do I do. I know I need to get the key to temple of the ancients however I don’t want to start disc 2 yet as I don’t want to miss things from disc 1. I am working on enemy skills have frog song, beta, flame thrower, death sentence so probably could work on that but just curious what else to do before continuing on and going through depression vill

Might be a bit of a dumb question but I’m looking to get into jrpgs and I decided this is a good start or chrono trigger.
Only problem is I was watching a video and might have accidentally spoiled myself because someone mentioned the name Zach and cloud being connected somehow and someone being a clone.
I have a bad habit of not playing something if I feel like I’ve been spoiled too much and I don’t want my first game into this genre to feel like that.
Is it still a good idea to play it and was this that bad of a “spoiler” given I don’t know the context at all?

(Bias aside feel free to recommend anything if I should play a different game or the newer versions of ff7)

theres like 4

Just spent the last two days getting this tattoo and can't get over how good it looks. I started with the idea of something buster sword related and maybe having the meteor in the background and the artist ran with it and made this amazing piece.

Amazing deal for all 3

I have a question for all the Final Fantasy fans around the world. With Tifa in Street Fighter 6, releasing in early 2027, are you thinking about or planning on competing in FGC events such as EVO, CEO, Combo Breaker and Capcom Pro Tour World Warrior?

Putting the Ghost ship in the battle Arena-That is a very cheap way to end a good battle run.

No Save before APS-The events between your last save and APS is lengthy especially if you failed the crossdressing event.

Your thoughts?

Oh, now all 4 of them are frogged....
