buying ff7 pc

I was thinking about getting ff7 for my computer but I'm having a bit of trouble finding it so where can i get it?


I did look on EBay but all the ff7 pc's are in Singapore and that seemed a bit odd to me so I've got another question why are they all from Singapore

now i think i put this thread in the right spot but if not move it

Well... Out of all the places to find it on-line, Ebay would be your best bet, but given the PC version of the game is now 10 years old, you're gonna be hard pressed just finding one.

Best advice, (if you have a PS2 or PS1) get a PS1 copy. Trust me, if you happen to find a PC copy, you're gonna have screwy compatibility problems running it on a newer PC.

They have a few copies of the PC version at Amazon but the cheapest is around $70. I've never played the PC version but as F.F. Fan stated, you will probably have issues running it on a newer PC.

What? Its a pointless reason and Im not being funny your post is abit ridic also. Yeah, I love 8 to bits, but when I go on holiday, I dont take my laptop. And I dont want to go and order it, then have basically no chance of playing it till I get home cause frankly, they wont post it to a hotel and they may get it when you leave!


God sake, wait till youre at home. Geez.

So you're willing to pay upwards of $70 to purchase a copy of a game you already own just because it isn't in front of you at the moment? Seems a bit silly to me.

And yeah, there are some patches that help it run on XP.

maybe this should be my last post on this thread it is getting a bit pointless

well um when i first started this thread i was thinking and hopeing i could pick the game up for $15 or something and get it local but no i'm not going to pay $70 just to play it but it would have been nice to fill my erg

but man Nephry and ~Sapphirestar~ take it easy i'm just a kid with dreams

*crys*

Shops dont sell it anymore, its a rare game to get your mitts on. And online is really the only place to get hold of it.

Yeah youre a kid, we know that. But honestly, it was a dumb idea. Think about it. Theres no way youd get hold of it to play on your holiday.
