Wow, this is truly exciting. I have never experienced final fantasy 7 before, but have heard a lot about it.
Will this function like a mod?

@51 can you tell me how you did that? Maybe there were settings I missed but final fantasy xiii I tried with OCR and got pretty much nowhere. If you can give me some tips I'll reinstall it and try again. On ps2, I'm stumped as to how you got anywhere with that. I spent hours with my nose against the screen and got as far as my fully sighted friend got in about half an hour. I completed 4 through 7 back in the day when TV's didn't turn in to fuzz if you get close enough to use the little vision I have left. 5 was always my favourite. 4 kind of sucked and 6 while it had it's good points somehow didn't do it for me. The bit with the ghost train near the start was kind of atmospheric and cool though. I think I did do 1 2 and 3 way back but they would have been on really old sucky consols and don't really count. Although I still have fond memories of Phantasy star on the sega master system. I'll bet I could still remember every cave tower and dungeon on that game. Just another thunk while I'm reliving classic games, wonder if legend of legaia was ever re made for pc? That would be another one I'd love to play with accessibility. Very strange but awsome RPG. Turn based but you could use seru attacks which you had to train up, (kind of like materia etc), or you could use combat where you programmed the attacks. Kind of complicated but as you built up you could add more moves in to your attack and run combos together to use your slots better. So if you had a move that started, left left down up, you combine it with one that starts with  down up or what ever you can work out and you could get these insain attacks going on. Lol would seriously advise checking it out on youtube if there are any videos. Was a very neesh game here in the UK. Bloody hard to get hold of. actually, after I posted I found this on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO0TLhZ … 1C70C8151C

Lirin, I recommend you create a donation page for the project so that donations cover any costs you may have with this beautiful project.  I hope this project goes a long way, and doesn't become something like the gothic project

Hi guys,

Thanks for positive and kind words!
We are just two who are maintaining and making this project and it's fantastic to hear you are liking this! FF VII is a classic game with excellent story and world / character building in my opinion. I know the FF VII is hard to run as it has this inaccessible Square Enix launcher and it's the same on Steam and when you will get the digital version from SE store.

We're using separate engine to run the original FF VII files and the FF VII launcher is bypassed so don't worry about that!

Hard to tell when it will be completed as We need to test everything carefully. It's a lot of work to make everything in the game readable but it's definitely possible. Tracking stuff around is similar to Pokemon series emulated on GB so you have the list and when you will focus on something the radar sound will guide you to the selected object. The tone will change to let you know how far you are from the object.

We're also working on audio for stuff around to hear items, npcs etc

I'll update you with news when the time comes!

Thank you again for your support! We're not looking for any funding for now but when We'll need that you will know about this first.

@55 ff7 is nothing like palidin of the sky. Fun as that is, this was written for a mainstream audience and just getting out to the main open world probably takes as long as completed said game. Same with games like entombed. They would just be like an opening chapter. They don't keep making final fantasy games because a few people went, ooh, that's a bit of fun. They have a huge following for a reason. FF7 is probably the most aclaimed rpg of all time.

How long do you expect though? Like a couple months? years?  Like how far along are we here?

i can't put any promises here guys. For sure couple of weeks and this is what I can say for now.

Regarding Cloud? I mean Cloud saving! (Cloud is the name of FF VII main character. ) no idea how it will work for now. In the worst scenario We wont be able to integrate this feature but We'll see.

ff vii bitches!

I will definitely keep an eye on this. I would definitely be interested to test things if you want. I am always happy to test and give feedback.

Yeah I also wouldn't mind beta testing, I played the game back in the day with a sighted friend and also have beta testing experience.

Greetings Moritz.

This right here is the reason why I would love to have time travel. :-)
Can’t wait!
Thanks for doing this!

Do i need to have purchased the game in order to use the accessibility? Where can i find it on pc?
