FF7 emulated with CRT filter + Reunion mod for better translation.
Is this a good way to play it? Is the Reunion mod necessary to get a better story experience?
I downloaded the steam version but I hated how the characters models looked. This is my first time playing FF7
FF7 emulated with CRT filter + Reunion mod for better translation

Reunion is not a better translation. It's pedantic.
Alexander Scott
Yeah, that's pretty alright. I'm personally not fan of filters that are this aggressive, but if it looks fine to you that's great. As far as the mod goes... I think you'll miss out on a bit of charm like that the original translation has some cute stuff in it.
Don't listing to faggots who want to sell you on any gameplay changing mods for the first run.
Christopher Brooks
>better translation.
soulless
Cooper Gonzalez
Aren't there story details lost in the original translation?
Noah Williams
Another additional advice, don't try to go for a 100% min/max run, the game really isn't hard and hands you plenty of things without going full autism just have a comfy adventure. If you actually want to explore the mechanics and grind and shit, do that in a second run with some difficulty mod.

Explain yourself.

>Explain yourself.
Original translation.
>You should explain that one more time, so that I can understand it better because I want to avoid any misunderstandings between us.
Reuining mod.
Dylan Perez
No. What's pedantic about the reunion translation?
Connor Wright
Fuck reunion. All translations mods are shit.
Benjamin Nguyen
Nah, both the original PS1 and PC translations are bad.

Reunion actually gets more things wrong than the original.
For example, it names the final boss Seraph, while the original Katakana spell it like this: セーファ, which is "Sefa", not "Serafu". This is a reference to the Sefer Sephiroth, a kabbalistic book about jewish mind control. This is pretty important, since the whole point of Jenova/Sephiroth/Reunion/etc. is a not-so-thinly veiled reference at how some kabbalist jews (e.g. Bnei Baruch) consider themselves literally aliens being sent here on Earth by their "God", Jehova, to "inherit the planet". And this is also why the abomination that is the """""Remake""""" is drastically changing the story, as the original one, if released today with a big budget production, would prove to be hugely controversial. But I digress.
If you want to experience FF7 for the first time, then the best way is to play the original US PSX version with these two patches:
romhacking.net
romhacking.net
Why not the PC version, you may ask? Well, without too many spoilers, let's just say that it fucks up the music in what is literally the climatic moment of Cloud's backstory (and one of the best plot twists in all videogames). To my knowledge, there is no patch for the PC (or other versions) which fixes that moment.
Basically: play the PSX FF7 first and then play on PC with mods for subsequent playthroughs.
Ayden Rodriguez
Thanks, I won't mod it then
Andrew Brooks
Just get the ps1 version, a ps1 and a crt tv.
Hudson Roberts
reunion isnt complete. after junon it's all OG PSX translation.
Logan Harris
Ok, I'll use those bug fixes. Thanks
Leo Diaz
This is completely false.
Oliver Williams
Emulate the PS1 version with Retroarch Beetle PSX HW
Tyler Hill
damn that looks like dogshit
Nathaniel Cox
That image needs a CRT filter. Badly.
Sebastian Hughes
why are there dark squares all over the place?
Logan Campbell
What CRT filter is that?
Chase Barnes
>Upscaled models on top of a stretched pre-rendered background that's blurred with bilinear filtering
Holy SHIT that looks terrible.
That's the dithering, which PS1 games used to give the illusion of having more color depth than they actually did. Your CRT TV would blur the squares together and it would cause the picture to have the illusion of being more color-rich.
Brody Myers
there hare no psx versions of ff7 with a completed fixed translation
Kayden Martin
Eli Gonzalez
Not that user, but I'd say it looks more like a DotMatrix shader than a CRT filter. Could be a combination of both.
Jose Wright
I replayed one last year, though. At this point, the project is just ironing out the kinks.
Ian Ortiz
damn boomers and their inferior crt fetish
Adrian Lopez
that's the version that's incomplete after junon lol
Joseph Gray
Dithering. That screenshot is from before i knew you can adjust it to internal resolution instead of native
Jackson Sullivan
Playing this semi-blind for the first time and just got the broken plane/Cid. I'm enjoying it so far. I see lots of potential for breaking the game with certain materia combinations and enemy skills. This is clearly Square's favorite kid. So many influences from this game passed on to FF14.

Fuck. I was really enjoying it as well.
Ian Rodriguez
This scene is well after Junon.
