For the sake of everyone’s sanity, I’ve changed these two buttons to their normal Western configuration – “A” is OK and “B” is CANCEL. If this was preserved, it would mean that “A” would be CANCEL and “B” would be OK. The original PlayStation game used the old Japanese button configuration: “X” was CANCEL and “O” was OK – completely backwards to all Western games.
If you’ve installed any previous mod that alters the game’s script, this will undo those changes until you uninstall it.ģ. At present this mod only works with the Steam version of the game. and replaces them with the names of the actual buttons on your Xbox 360 Controller.Įvery reference throughout the game has been changed, so you never have to get confused about what the game wants you to do! This mod changes all references to confusing terms like “SWITCH”, “ASSIST”, “TARGET”, “MENU”, etc.
For example, on the original PlayStation, the game would tell you to press the “L1” button on your controller, but on the PC version it would say press “PAGEUP” – leaving you to guess which button that was. Here is where this mod gets special.įirst an explanation: When FFVII was being converted to the PC, they couldn’t refer to the button names, because they didn’t know what controller you would have. Then look at what you get with a 360 Controller by default (seriously!): Which button is "ASSIST", "TARGET", "PAGEUP", "SWITCH", etc? There are mini-games where you need to know exactly which button to press at a specific time, and it doesn't help if you don't know what button is being referred to.Ĭonsider the original PlayStation controller mapping: Unfortunately, the way the buttons were mapped for the controller was extremely bizarre.Īnd worse still, it retained the confusing names for each of the buttons. It also featured support for the Xbox 360 controller out of the box. The 2012 re-release of Final Fantasy VII introduced some great new features: Higher quality videos, fixed script, better music, cloud saves, achievements, etc. Also note that this is an early Beta version and may contain some bugs. IMPORTANT NOTE: At present this mod only works with the ENGLISH Steam version of FF7.
