How to play FF7

How to play FF7
Why the fuck Is there no decent standalone translation mod for FF7?
7th heaven is the comprehensive modding tool for FF7. but the one translation mod "because" doesn't work with it.
it's locked behind a garbage mod package installer call "reunion" which adds a bunch of shit noone wants and totally fucks the games sound engine.

All I want to do is play FF7 with HD remako backgrounds, Chibi models mod and a coherent English translation.
yet modding is so fucked that I can't choose the mods that I want.

Get SYW, not Remako.

don't like the oily paint filter.
and that doesn't solve my problem with getting the translation mixed with the other 2 mods.

you're kinda screwed then. the creator of the translation mod is a faggot who doesn't want it on the 7H catalog, it was there before too.

New Threat supposedly fixes dialogue but it's not standalone either.

But yeah, FF7 modding is literally fucking retarded. It's all because they hate piracy too I think, faggots.

Not him but I'm going to get SYW since Remako seems a pain to install on my pirated copy. Then I'm going to add shaders to get rid of the smear.

>Then I'm going to add shaders to get rid of the smear.
how do you do that?

Fuck why would he do that? what a waste. the rest of the mod with that audio and model replacements is fucking garbage?
I just want a decent looking game with coherent dialogue I can understand. I can't believe noone's isolated the translation patch.

Reshade. Can't help you beyond that though I'm currently procrastinating, I have NT installed so far but I haven't even launched the game since I'm going to install these mods first then crack it.

Sharpen filter and/or film grain should fix it up.

From what I understand New Threat is the way to go. That other Reunion mod supposedly over translates and was made by a total autist, it'll ruin the feeling.

Just play any of the modern ports. The mods are trash.

New threat just makes the turnbased combat too difficult for casual players. Does it even change the dialogue at all? dialogue still looks overly simplistic and nonsensical at times.

I dunno that's just what I've read.

I literally can not follow the crappy translation.
like how barret gets on the train and there's only one shinra worker there.
In Japanese he's remarking how the trains so quiet and empty and then he asks the shinra worker where is everyone.
In the translation he just keeps sayin "huh whad' ya say?" "hey huH what'd ya say? it got all empty did ya hear me?" It just makes him sound insane and you can't tell what the fuck he's talking about.

>fucks the games sound engine
Last I checked the pc version's sound engine was fucked from the start and reunion attempts to fix it. Also reunion should be compatible with remako backgrounds assuming they are pngs. Reunion supports asset replacement.
>which adds a bunch of shit noone wants
All the extra shit can be turned off and actually is turned off by default. Only the translation/menu fixes, and the 60fps combat fix are on by default. I do agree the model enhancement thing is fucking ugly and doesn't mesh with the animations meant for chibis at all. Thank god you can leave it off.

The 60fps combat mod is too buggy to bother with.
>animations play twice as fast so damage indicators take forever to pop up
>characters run into the enemy because the distance moved doesn't align with the animation that plays

>reunion attempts to fix it
it makes the sound effects grating, treble-overloded and ear wretching. also causes contestant audio stutter, clipping and cuttoffs.

Just use fucking Reunion and don't use the features you don't want

>totally fucks the games sound engine
Works on my machine :^)

Why the hell would you want "high" definition chibi models.

it limits the game to a trash resolution, no anti-aliasing and there's no documentation on on how to get other mods working.

You can turn it off if you want. Also I have experienced none of that with the current reunion release (r06d) at least with normal low framerate animations. Haven't tried interpolation yet. As far as I know all it does is make the menu/camera 60fps. Animations are unaffected unless you choose.
I've not had this happen so really I don't know what you're talking about. The only bug I've run into was a crash upon entering nibelheim which was caused by the translation for some reason. Apparently it is fixed in r06e but they haven't released it yet so I just switched it off for that section.

they're not high def. they're low poly just with coherent art direction & textures.
like link in OoT 3DS

ps1

The textures are high def and they look atrocious and not coherent at all, reminds me of those N64 texture packs.

there not that high def. they're juts not shit.

Well shit, I do want 60fps menus but I already installed NT(it has some cool features I want too).

Is there a standalone 60fps version?

Left looks better to me. I don't understand the appeal either, FF7 models look fine.

og chibis are fucking broken on pc, with the winking glitch or the open mouth glitch

it's a story based game and the incoherent translation almost makes it literally unplayable.
This is why we wanted a remake. but they fucked us.

bro that is peak shit

>Is there a standalone 60fps version?
I don't think so at least as far as reunion is concerned. I would search in the NT thread to see if anyone has a solution.

fuck the pieces of shit who made reunion.
these mods should be seperate why would you lock them all in together and make them incompatible with everything else?

ff7 without fire1, fire2 etc. looks so weird to me

>In Japanese he's remarking how the trains so quiet and empty and then he asks the shinra worker where is everyone
That's not at all whats happening. He intimidates the Shinra employee all the same. The translation to FFVII may be a bit wonky, but its definitely not bad enough that you can't follow the story because of it.

>The manager jumps.

Shinra Manager

>Barret pounds the wall above the manager and he jumps again.

Shinra Manager
Y, Y, YIPES!!
You... you've seen the news, right? AVALANCHE says there'll be more bombings.
Only devoted employees like me would go to Midgar on a day like today.
