In conditions when the remake of the famous JRPG goes out in parts every three years (the second part seems to be how 2023 should appear in winter, but this is not exactly), but I want to touch the great one, with the least amount of pain from outdated graphics, the only thing that remains a modern player of this fashion. From extremely authentic and atmospheric, really improves the 2012 PC port, without prejudice to play experience, to very wild, rainbow interface, adding new sounds and music from remake. It is quite difficult to comply with the balance, but I tried to make a small selection (including the Russifier, of course), which really improve the game, in no way breaking its atmospheric. Although, of course, the choice will remain with you, suddenly you will like the new music more than the old music.
We will seek about this result.
During this leadership, we:
Replace combat and field backgrounds with much better, without (or C) neurosetic abdomen and indecent.
So, the task is set, let’s get down!
First of all, we will need, in fact, the port of 2012, clean, without any mods, Russifiers and other things. It doesn’t matter where you get it from, from the starlings themselves, in Steam or some more interesting places, the main. Versions with sewn tablets are also not suitable, especially since after all manipulations, the brook is not required. Just do not replace the original files with hacking or reinstall the game (do not forget to transfer the conservation, if any), deleting the remaining folder after it.
Suppose the game has already been installed, now you need to download the fashion manager 7th Heaven. You can do it herself or tuta. At the first link, we are looking for "download her", then "Download 7th Heaven", "7thheaven Setup Executable". On the second link, we run down to the download section, select Latest Stable Realese, download 7thheaven-vicifer_release.EXE. It would be nice to cheat with both sources so as not to download any old version, at the time of writing the blog, both offer build 2.7.1. We install the manager as a regular program, Shindovs can cram on a suspicious file from the Internet, in which case, click "Read more" and allow the installation. After the process is completed, we launch a program that immediately falls on us a whole ton of settings. Without panic, everything is not as scary as it seems.
Not so long ago, the program was updated to version 3.0.0, demanding to install .Net 7.0 two versions at once, x64 and x86. There is no need to look for anything, the link should be in the appropriate window, in addition, if the fashion manager stopped starting, put in the properties of the box "run this program on behalf of the administrator".
This is important!
In the upper part we see the ways to various game folders, the manager defines them automatically, but if something is wrong, then we should set the program on the desired folder or file personally. We leave all other settings by default, pay attention to only two points: 7th Heaven and FFNX. The first, of course, the version of the program, the second cunning driver, which will just allow us to disperse the game. Leave both options on Stable (obviously a stable version) or switch to Canary (obviously, beta version), you can solve only an experimental way. I personally left everything on Stable, because it works – do not touch.
Be sure to poke the “Check for Updates” button to check the updates (with FFNX, it is especially important, since the program is not initially) for the selected version, if nothing happens, then save the changes by pressing Save and restart the program, agreeing to interrupt the download process, then try to renew again, now everything should be in order.
This is important!
Before rushing to download everything you need and not necessary, set the game driver, FFNX, he is in Settings> Game Driver. We put a graphic API based on the capabilities of our system, for most DirectX 12 is suitable, however, in case of problems, you should try another option. For example, for some users OBS sees the game only with Opengl.
In the Resolution, we put the resolution of our monitor, in the Aspect Ration, if desired, we change the ratio of the parties, this is if you are not confused. The vertical vertical will smooth out the image, eliminating the stripes when moving, and Advanced Lighting will calculate the lighting in real time. Both functions can cause problems with performance and stability, so experiment.
The next tab offers some changes not provided for by the PC version.
Random Battles turns off random battles, does not configure in the program itself and switches only during the game, by pressing Ctrl+B on the keyboard or L3+circle (most likely b on the Xbox-pad, but I’m not sure that hot keys work for it). A useful thing when you shy away on a low -level location and do not burn the desire to waste time on the genocide of all sorts of trifles.
Skip Movies. Ooooo daaaaaa. Passing FMV is very useful, so as not to look a million times the same, it is performed on Ctrl+S/L3+square.
Soft Reset. In the original game there was an opportunity to go to the main menu without turning off the console, the PC version has lost such a necessary thing, but now it works again. Ctrl+R or L3+Start+Select (currently calling share and/or touchpad) will return you to the start screen.
Speed ??Hack Stepping and Speed ??Hack Max – Step acceleration and acceleration of the game. For what? Remember when you use Bagamut Zero. Accelerates the game from x2 to x12, depending on the settings, is turned on on Ctrl+left/right or L3+L2/R2; switches via ctrl+up/down or l3+l1/r1.
Okay, the last tab remained – Advanced.
Music Option – Switching type of music. MIDI = PS1, VGMSTREAM – a slightly improved version (standard in the PC -publication), will be needed for musical mods, which we, of course, will put (or will not put, as you decide for yourself) a little later.
AnaLOGUE CONTROLS, here I think everything is clear. Outweighs all control to analog sticks. By the way, by default, for some reason, the game does not know how to work with the cross, despite the appropriate settings, the fashion manager corrects this, allowing you to steer both D-Pad and on the stick.
Steam Compatibleity – includes Steam support, now game activity, controller and achievements will work as if the game is launched in Steam. It is recommended to keep the Steam client on, if, of course, you have Bought Steam version.
Internal Resolution Scaling – leave it on a car, let it decide to increase resolution or not, it avoids image artifacts.
Everything, with the basic setting, we finished, press Save and move on to the process of improving the game.
Attention! Put the Russifier immediately after setting up the mod manager, as the program interacts with the starting game file. You can find Russification on the website of the translators themselves or on the whole well -known ZOG. In the version of the version of the version, leave Steam, regardless of what a copy you have. After installation, specify the path to ff7_en.exe, in order to pave it and at the end, do not remove the checkmark from the launch of Londer, you can update the Russifier to the latest version in it.
Launch the game only through 7th Heaven (Play button in the upper left).This is important!
To install any mod, you need https://katsuwincasino.co.uk/bonus/ to find it on the Browse Mods tab (the search line on the right is "Type Here to Search. ") and click on it twice. All installed mods appear in My Mods, where they can be changed by dragging (conveniently, when it is important to install the installation procedure), turn on-off, configure and delete.
For each installed mod, you can find a link in More Info. This is useful if the new version of the fashion in the program does not appear. To install a new version, you have to download it and throw it into the Mods folder (see. Below, in the description of the FFVII – Classic icons upres), deleting the old mod (do not forget to update the list).
This is important!
Let’s try to update the backs by installing the Final Fantasy VII HD Field Scenes, also known as Project Edge. These are recreated backgrounds, though not all scenes are still updated, but it is better than nothing.
The result with the lighting on and updated backgrounds.
Alas, not all the backdrops are replaced.
If you are not scared by Beliberd, created by a neural network, then under the Project Edge, place the SyW V5 Field Textures, it will complement the missing backgrounds, but remember that many of them will be completely incomprehensible.
The neuralite literally rape backgrades.
And this is a particularly difficult case. Almost all surfaces turned into porridge.
The wheels of this train are asked to be shot. They just don’t know how Costa del Sol got.
Next, we will roll Avalanche Arisen Battle Scenes, it will replace textures on the battlefield, we put it above HD Field Scene. By the way, SYW has its own set of combat textures (Syw V5 Battle Textures), which looks no better than a pack with field backgrounds, deciding to install it – narrow the lower Avalanche.
Great, time to do models! To make them nomuras similar to drawings, we will need Ninostyle Battle Models for combat models, as well as Ninostyle Chibi Field Models for Field and Models. If you like combat models more, then instead of Chibi, install Ninostyle HD Field Models.
Who would have thought that a couple of fan mods could look like a full -fledged remaster?
How do you like this view?
And the front is even better.
Even the models of enemies are improved! True, not everyone, but those that are, look really amazing.
I think here the comments are unnecessary, it’s just gorgeous.
If you update Nino model with Nexus Mods, then you may need two archives, the first 7th Heaven Character Modpack, the second 7th Heaven Chibi Field. Remove all Nino mods and install the downloaded with Nexus; For combat models in the field and on the map, use Ninostyle – HD Field Models.Iro, for ninostyle chibiks – Chibi Field Models.Iro. In addition, piercing the load page down, you will find Chibi Upgrade, which adds blinning animation for chibi models.
You can also find a pack of remake models on Nexus mods, but you should not install them at least because they are knocked out of style, as a maximum of old animations. In the game, it looks like a very bad Source FilmMaker or Garry’s Mod.
This is interesting!
It is difficult not to notice my hostility to Satsuki Satoshi Mod Syw, but he still does something well, for example, the texture of skills in the Syw V5 Spell Textures. Perhaps there are nuances somewhere, but from what I saw, there were no special complaints. In any case, you can always turn it off and delete it.
Wow, it’s good like! The graphone is right from all sides and at the same time no impaired atmosphere, to the turnover, it only becomes better. We have to prompting videos, music and interface. Nevertheless, before we start, for the most persistent I propose to try the Syw V5 Minigame Textures, replacing textures in mini-games, and Syw V5 World Textures for the world map. Something looks good there, but the neural daub is a neural daub, so purely for an amateur.
Perhaps the only thing that SYW is not made by a neural network is a mini-card. It has become much more convenient and beautiful, but for me it is not a reason to install this mod.
Actually, from the same series of mods, we will take the SyW V6 30 FPS Upscaled FMW, which improves the videos. The result, frankly, is quite controversial, the image becomes incredibly smooth, but upon closer examination it turns out that the neurona erodes some small details. It was not that it was important, but someone (for example) may not like it (for example). The version with 60 personnel has artifacts already noticeable to the naked eye, so it is better not to touch it at all.
Comparison of the original FMV with Apskaylin. If you do not focus on the little things and do not make stop cadres, then it is not bad.
There is another mod that changes the videos, it is called Cosmos FMV and is designed so that you are not concerned about different stylistics in the game and video inserts. Mod allows you to choose between the standard style, Ninostyle Chibi and Ninostyle HD (Configure Mod on the My Mods tab). It looks just great, but, as always, there are flaws. In original videos, the characters sometimes show emotions, while Cosmos options do not take this fact, which is why the heroes remain with the poker fiction even in the most dangerous situations.
SYW MAST, COSMOS is not emotional, so I personally prefer to leave original videos.
In principle, you can already play with this set, but those who plan to go through the game In English Enchaced Stock UI can be improved. This upgrade looks really cool, very convenient and has a huge number of settings, from minuses – breaks Russification.
Avatars can be changed with your hands. The cursor, in principle, also.
The combat interface becomes many times more compact and convenient.
Since we are talking about the interface, let’s take care of the avatars. Here you will have to work a little, since in 7th Heaven there are no these mods and they need to be added separately.
The first modification, with the speaking name of FFVII – Classic icons upres, improves standard images of heroes, offering a couple of alternative options with Claud. For installation, follow the link above, open the Files tab, click Manual Download to Classic ICONS 1.1 (at the moment this is the last version), in a jumped window (it says that you need a fashion manager that we already have) download, and finally Slow download. Unfusion of the archive and then copy or transfer the Denton’s Classic ICONS file.Iro in Mods/7th Heaven inside the game folder (right -click on the game label> Properties> File Location; For Steam PKM on the game in the library property> Local files> Review). On the My Mods tab, on the panel on the right, click the arrows above the basket to update the list, in Configure Mod you can choose which of the Claud versions you like better.
For those who want something less classic, but more sweet, FF7 Chibi ICONS (Opera Omnia) is perfect. Downloaded, installed and settled similarly to the previous one (we take the Denton’s Opera OMNIA ICONS on the Files tab).
There are other options for avatars on Nexus Mods, but not everyone is installed through 7th Heaven, some simply rush with a replacement in the game folder.
This is interesting!
But now it’s time to disperse the game to 60 frames per second! This I understand the new game experience and impression! Surely you immediately paid attention to him, since it hangs at the very top of the list, the name 60/30 FPS GamePlay does not ambiguously hints at the essence of this mod. To stabilize the speed of animation, in the My Mods tab, drag the installed upgrade to the very top, if this does not correct the situation, try installing the Graphics API on Auto.
Yes, I was too lazy to shoot myself, attan.
That’s it, here you should stop there. Honestly. I’m without jokes at all. But yes, someone may not like the intra-game sounds and, probably, they will burn me at the stake for what I will now talk about their replacement. I don’t use it myself, no matter how difficult it is to guess, I was too stuffy in terms of some little things and details, and here is a rather important part, in the form of a sound design.
Nevertheless, if you suddenly do not suit you for some reason, then feel free to install Cosmo Memory. This mod has a huge number of settings, from the sound of switching menus, to the voice acting of the characters in battle and sounds of steps, all this turns on, offs separately, due to which you can fully configure the sound design to your taste.
With music, everything is a little more complicated. Personally, I am quite happy with the available soundtrack for the PC version, it approaches the visual style of the game, it sounds better than the PS1 version, without bending the stick, so here I also leave everything as it is, but I can offer Symphonic Remaster Redux, replacing the compositions with symphonic. However, because of him, complete silence will reign in some places, since not all tracks are rewritten.
Here I had to shoot everything myself, since there were no good examples, but it was so possible to demonstrate the most severe lack of tracks in this fashion.
From the number of sounds and mixers naturally explodes the brain, I would not stand for five minutes with such a set.
Pouring the list, you will find a few less popular music options, however, you will have to download the sharp remake with Nexus Mods, from this topic. It is installed similarly to avatar and, in my modest opinion, in some places surprisingly concisely integrates into the gameplay.
With this option, I also did not find suitable videos. I did not check some locations, so keep in mind that the same as in the Symphonic Remaster, there may be no music where it should be.
Remember that you can supplement one mod by another by just changing them in the list, but some may not be compatible.
You need to know.
Well, lastly, let’s break the psyche with the most avid fans of Final Fantasy VII. By installing this mod, you will fall into the list of enemies of the people, you will be hunted, or they will even worse thank you. But the felt-ups and color of the felt-tip pens, as you know, are also categorically I do not understand how to play with this modification, and someone will seem quite normal to someone.
All in all. How to say something. This is a voice acting for all dialogs in the game. Including non -game characters. Work on this mod was carried out seven years and literally a couple of weeks ago a release took place, which turned out to be so loud that the tenths allotted for downloading were exhausted in the first three days. For this reason, it is still impossible to download the Echo-S 7 mod from the official site, but on the Nexus Mods, a demo version is available as a temporary solution. The installation is the same as the avatars.
I advise you to prepare a cringe tablets.
That’s exactly all. We improved each aspect of the game, some even too strongly. It remains to press the button with arrows and numbers 1-9 (fourth from above), which will automatically place mods in the right order, check the performance in order to move any modifications above or lower and you can play!
The first time may not start, this happens.
Shield to do, Desu.
This is where I can handle it, I hope this material will help you fully enjoy the first passage or get new emotions from the game! Thank you for your attention and see you on the Internet!
My list of mods for those interested. Music and sounds are standard for the port of 2012, the rest only works on improving the picture without a neuroset (not counting avatars and magical effects). And I completely forgot to mention, in Settings> Controls you can configure management as your soul.
