Great. Glad to see this has been an issue for a while now! Can't login, has been a problem for a while. Failsauce.

works great on the eu region server but no dice on the North America / United States Server this is almost as frustrating as the sync sector5 security pannel to exit the building it was so frustrating i left teethmarks in the scph 7501 original playstation cracked the controller in half once from how frustrated i got from it...-Xeveniah Darkwind and the character boost page is in accessiable to me the 999 health and 999mp at a click of a mouse button is one of the things that made it worth $11.99usd to me

***.. login doesnt work in loader

i have no oblem with this game evertything works fine for me

I haven't had any problems at all, maybe you people all have bad computers or **** internet connection. I have some recommendations on how to make this game better, allow people to review cut scenes like other games do, have new improved cut scenes, while allowing people to view to old ones too, put artwork on the game and unlock more art as the game progresses. Same thing with music. I like the old comical look about this game, don't change that, but smooth it over so there's no pixilation at all.

Wish I would have looked here first, would have saved myself 12 dollars, I can't even get the damn game to download all the way it just stops at 11% and sits there.

ff7 in 97 and the talk about it was the only reason i bought a playstation model scph-7501 last verson before sony removed the paralell port from the consoles now that im left side upper extremeity paralyzed left arm is in a coma from a near fatal right sided ischemic stroke on 1-13-2010 now that its for the pc i can play it games are part of my occupational therapy

I would like to transfer FFVII on to my new laptop to continue playing, (I still have the original intaller), but I have lost my activation key. Is there any way to recover this?

@mikeyhamm Saves are only available at Save Points or on the World Map. I'm yet to experience any particular "bug" with saves but worth letting others know that haven't played the game before if they're struggling to find how to save their progress. If not you, I hope this might help clarify this for some others.

Ah huh, so when I was logging into the launcher I was seeing something completely different to what I get now. "Final"ly playing the game! One last query re: screen resolution. In my options I have 640x480 and then it jumps to 1920x1200 and higher. Is there any inbetween? 1024x768 I feel would be the sweet spot.

what a ****** launcher !!!!!! How do we launch the game once registered??? Shame on square-enix for this ******** !!!!

sorry "game shelf"

i need help as well, is there a "game self" anywhere as mentioned in the instructions above? I feel stupid for asking but where the hell is th launcher, this is pathetic

@Floppycrayon you're not the only one, Ive clicked on just about every link and I can't find a "Play" anywhere... Speechless.

How do you play the game? I finally got to log in, and I dont know how to launch the game ffs.

How the heck do you play the game from the Launcher? I've never had such a miserable experience with a game purchase...

ok don't worry I got the game up now all I need two no is how two save the game ??????????????????? some help plz

yo I just bought FF7 and the very last installing updates don't stop and iv been waiting about 1hour and a half its the same page and im still waiting for the updates two stop ..but I don't no if I shud exit it and lode it agen any help wood be nice

I don't know what problems you have guys i bought it aswell and i couldn't play it the day i bought it if they have maintenance then let them do their work or do you want to be logged out every 10 minutes and start again all the time? they know what they are doing and i don't think you would be able to do any better

@Lightningsan I am a network professional and this kind of outage for "maintenance" is complete bull****. Sorry, it does not take DAYS to do any scheduled downtime. Someone ****** up and this is just the easiest excuse that dip**** users will swallow.

FIX YOUR ******* GAME YOU IDIOTS!!!!!!!! IM TIRED OF BUYING **** AND GETTING RIPPED OFF

n00b squ4r3 3n1x

Is it true i have to buy it again after about a month, because if thats true thats bull****?

Some of you guys need to learn to read more often. The login servers for games that require it is currently down for a while, you'd know this if you actually read the blog instead of instantly coming on here to ***** about something when it doesn't go your way. Wait a while and Ben will inform us when everything is working normally. They are doing maintenance on it.

wow square enix sucks i hope you ******** go out of buisness

The requested URL /banner.php was not found on this server What the hell does that mean? :)

This Takes the ****, why hasn't it been sorted yet?

The server is down apparently, please fix it. I am getting sick and tired of paying for games, getting excited, downloading it, then finding it does not work. I feel like I've just been robbed of money. PLEASE sort it out ASAP.

The server is down, at least according to the NA Support Forums. First time log in is unavailable. I am wandering why I purchased a game in NA, was charged for the game in NA and the only history is on the EU page.

Yeah , I'm also having Url Banner issues and being unable to play :/

I just bought the game and it wont load, it just keeps teling me I have a url banner issue, whats up are the servers just down or something

I have the exact same problem as panchoryan below. I have been unable to get the game to work since I purchased it a couple of days ago I've had 3 different error messages over the course of this weekend...

Im having a problem loading/registering the game when I open it I get as far a it connecting to the internet and then it says that the requested urL /Banner.PHP was not found on this server am I using a out of date host address? (weblet.square-enix.com)

the best of the best. the graphics are quite average but we have not forget that he was the 'first' FF on PlayStation (and later on PC).

once you purchase the game, you have 30 days to save it on an external hard drive because after that, the game will become locked and you will have to purchase again.

Where can i find the serial? I have bought a new computer, have the game asking me for a serial, which I do not have and it doesn't seem to be attached to my account here. What gives?

Like this message to send it to the top!. A message from a long-time fan of the series and business student. I’ve enjoyed playing many Final Fantasy and Square Enix Games over the years. Chrono Trigger/Cross, FF9,X, 8 (except for disc 4), the list is longer but; the one I enjoyed most notably was Final Fantasy 7. If there were any game worth remaking, other than FF Tactics (maybe Chrono series), it is Final Fantasy 7. One high ranking member of your organization mentioned that remaking FF7 would ruin the company or something like that, and it should not be done until the original was surpassed. If that logic were to be applied logically, no remake of any other game should have been made until a game that surpassed FF7’s quality of experience had been made. With the exception of the PS one remakes of the earlier FF titles, naturally. To look at it from a business standpoint, you have known for a long time that great demand for one specific product exists, a FF7 remake. With PS4 coming out soon and lackluster sales of these following games:
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (just guessing).
A business consulting firm might advise that particular company to capitalize on its greatest asset to recoup some losses. To address the issue of needing to create a title that surpasses Final Fantasy 7 in quality of experience and craft; perhaps through giving FF7 the remake that lives up to expectations, the company will grow its ability to create a game that surpasses it on a modern console. Plus it’s a guaranteed success, millions would be pre-ordered. People who haven’t played video games since FF7 would buy it. Consider the following to explain how this remake would help create the game that would surpass FF7.
By analyzing the underlying principles that made FF7 stand out against other FF’s, the company can make a game that isn’t a clone of FF7 nor follows it in a formulaic manner. In a way, it would bring the company back closer to the fundamentals of making a truly great gaming experience, epic in scale and story. A group of strong willed characters, not all existentially whiny ones. Epic missions, games such as motorcycle mini game/ snowboard to break up the pace a bit. Gold saucer, a place to chill exploitable chocobo races for rare loot. ******* villain you want to crush, more reasons to crush him. Backstory for the characters, plot twists that add to the drama and saving the world from destruction. The rest I’m sure you should be able to figure out. I’ll be posting this pretty much everywhere, I want the message to spread.
