by

Square Enix is updating Final Fantasy VII on Steam for PC. The original version of the game will be renamed as part of this release.

So, they’re re-releasing the original Final Fantasy VII, which is awesome! The best part is, if you already own it, you’ll get the updated version for free, and you can still play the old one if you want – they’re just renaming it ‘Final Fantasy VII – 2013 Edition’. They’ve got more info coming on whether or not your saves will transfer over, so keep an eye out for that!

To our Final Fantasy VII community,
