Yeah but it'll have been the same team porting the Switch and Xbox version. So that actually does make sense. Not that it's an excuse, it just isn't a total FU to PS4 owners. It's just stupidity.

Final Fantasy VII patched on Switch/XB1 to remove music bug and more
- Thread starter Robin64

Maybe, but I was under the impression that they are all 3 just the exact same port of the PC version so who knows. Regardless it should be patched, hell I don't even care I already platinumed it and won't play it again for years if ever, but I'm personally just sick of PS4 being left out of all this extra shit they keep doing. Just seems like a stupid business move to keep leaving stuff out of the console that has sold more than the other two combined.
Edit: Same for PC.
FFX doesn't really have any technical issues AFAIK; however, no version except PC has the various QoL mechanisms (fastforward, encounter toggle, boosters).
I just replayed the Switch version, and personally found the lack of QoL features pretty frustrating. It's one of the more encounter dense Final Fantasies.
Yes it's stupid but it's also a big FU to anyone that bought it on PS4.
My thoughts exactly. On the bright side, the excuse still holds for FFIX.
I can't imagine it's sold in small numbers on the ps4 so I don't think that's a valid reason at all.
Holy fucking shit! Why not on PS4 too? That version has been out since 2015 for fuck's sakes! I've been putting off buying it because if that! I demand this patch for PS4 as well!
The XB1/Switch versions of X/X-2 have new features? Which ones?
Not really. There's a quick heal option, and a shortened aeon animation option.
The PC version of X is the only one with the major QoL additions: fastforward, encounter toggle, boosters. Which is baffling, since all the other FFs on Switch/XB have them.
I'm so hyped on the remake I think I'm going to pick this up on Switch later tonight. In the mood for it
Wait what? Did they hire these guys to patch the game? If so they better be working on this patch for PS4. I bought it in 2015 (had I known about the bug earlier I wouldn't have) and I've refused to play it because of it. I also won't reward Square with an additional sale from me because they've refused to patch the ps4 version for 4 fucking years.
Us gamers can easily get very entitled with only a few of those times being legitimately justified. This is one of those rare times. I was an early buyer of the first console rerelease, if I get shafted in favor of the newer switch and XB1 releases ill get pissed. As is it's already there wasn't any excuse not to have fixed this earlier.
I'm a Nintendo fan too but I unfortunately bought FFVII on PS4 and I'm not too eager on paying again for the Switch version when a patch could have easily been applied to the PS4 version as well. It's completely unfair that Square Enix decides to withhold one version, especially when this has been a recurring problem in all their releases.
I'm sorry but those character models on the field look like crap. In battle they still look out of place but not as bad, in the field they look like shrunken down humans. Horrible.
Also it's a matter of principle. I also bought this on PS4 back in 2015 years before we had even heard about the NX for the first time, let alone the Switch. I am not rewarding Square with an additional sale by buying it on switch because they've refused to patch my PS4 copy for almost 4 fucking years.
If they hired this French developer to patch this on XB1 and Switch they better be working on the PS4 right now. I can see them giving priority to those versions first because they've just come out and the hype around the PS4 is not as big anymore but they still better make that patch for all.
Dotemu did the whole port, their logo was just absent in the initial release for some reason.
Mostly correct, except FFX has almost a 0% chance of being patched to add the PC features so Switch already has the "best" console version. At least the QoL features aren't bugs so it's not like you're missing anything that the original had.
FFIX has a good chance of being patched now I'd say.
Fuck off, Square!
I ran through VII on PS4 a month ago. Sure could have used a patch then. Ran VIII this month, and now it's time for IX. Even if they patch the Switch version, I'll be damned if I end up double dipping. Assholes! I'll never buy another port of VII or IX. I shouldn't have bought the pair for PS4 in the first place knowing the bugs existed.

Yeah, I have say I prefer the stubby original character models to all the more realistically-proportioned mods. The mod versions are fine on their own, but in context, they don't fit with the backgrounds. Look like old action figures or something. I'm more interested in modding the blurry backgrounds to match the fidelity of the current character models. Though maybe that's not as big a deal when going portable on the Switch. Guess I'll find out this weekend!
This update is pretty much what I needed for me to be interested in buying this version of FF7, glad it finally happened! Please do the same for 9 next (also analog control), and I'd also love 10's extra features from the PC version and I'll buy those two.
I can believe it. They didn't fix the PC version of Nier Automatta, either. If the fix was going to come, they'd have done it near release.
I quickly put together this comparison, if anyone's curious to see how the console ports stack up to the Steam version. No mods. The console versions have a blur filter applied to the pre-rendered backgrounds.

I always wondered why they added that stupid VERY BLURRY filter to the consoles version.... it's seriously VERY BLURRY!I quickly put together this comparison, if anyone's curious to see how the console ports stack up to the Steam version.

Thank you! It was just the support page, don't know why it didn't occur to me. Sorry for being lazy lol
This is the same company that thought the original filter used in the Steam port of Chrono Trigger looked good, so...
In the reactor flashback when Cloud chucks Sephiroth after being stabbed it plays the field music toward the end of the scene instead of looping the cutscene music.
