Square Enix has announced a brand-new version of Final Fantasy VII for Steam. This is not a patch. It’s a replacement.
The existing release will be renamed FINAL FANTASY VII 2013 Edition, while a new version becomes the default Steam listing. Existing owners get both versions for free but save files will NOT be compatible between them.
Like everyone else says, the remake isn’t a remake, it’s a weird sequel. More importantly though, the original is one of the greatest video games of all time while the remake is a video game. There’s no comparison, tbh
