The game just released, plus its size is quite big, so the torrent might be slow (or looks like stuck) at first. It should get better after about 30 mins - 1 hour, be patient.
2019.... That's when the 2060 was first released. Tech advances very fast and you're complaining about getting 30fps in something this massive? Could it use more optimization? Absolutely, but also you're using a cheap budget card from 6 years ago.
For those of you who want Levithan and Ramuh summons and cant figure out how to change resolution, follow what this reddit post says. (i have em now) The linked save roosevelt shared gives alot of DLC's but not these two. If you didnt see Roosevelts comment with the other save file needed, here is that comment.
If your "not sure" that you have them or not, well. Go into the game (like your playing) hit escape, system, DLC/bonus and compare my screenshot below. (this is with the reddit post i mentioned, and roosevelts shared save file.
To change res, switch to window mode, then select your desired resolution, then switch back to bordered fullscreen. (yea, that simple).
For me, and a few others who made comments on it. These two Summons were not in party. (i played a little ways thinking i just didn see it). maybe you got it, but again it was 100% not with Tifa (nor cloud). didn have either summons to use, to be able to equip. however, i did have quite a few other DLC's that were with the game's version. but those are not from "playing the previous release".
p.s. the game literally tells you "you dont have those two DLC's". So its not just in the main part of the game (where you go into pause, system, dlc area) if you hit the DLC check at the start, or when creating a new game itll ask to check. if you use the save shared by roosevelt, or if you dont both yield the same. and just to be sure, i just replayed through the entire prologue again to check) sure enough, i did not have Levithan and Ramuh when i was finished and able to check party members items/summons.
i do wanna ask if you played ff7 remake? (the first part to this 3 part game?) if so, that is why you had those summons. then again, , you would have had to change the steam ID to what it shows on the FLT emu... So i doubt thats the case but one never knows.
With the save roosevelt shared starting in Kalm (so you don't get to play the prologue on that save), the Bonuses section on title menu looks like this:
The DLC page in system menu looks like this:
But Set Materia page shows Levithan and Ramuh equipped:
I haven't played the game so I'm not sure, but it includes all DLCs (except Art Book and Music). You can also find some other save files that other users have shared at nexusmods.com.
doesnt show up for me either, i have some DLC bonus stuff, but not the two everyone is talking about. there is another method mentioned on how to do it. once i check it works, ill edit this comment and say how to do it.
Run's pretty well on my computer, no crashing or other issue's. i have only updated one time tho, but still the base game and the update right after ran great. I do have a more "recent..ish" pc with decent specs. 5800x, 4070ti, 32gb ram (most importantly- on an NVME drive that's pretty fast). if you put this on a HDD, sata NVME or sata SSD (not the same things but both are slower), your just asking for trouble. as with most newer titles.
Why has this post been at the top of the home page, even though its 2 days old. Is that some new change that the spotlighted games in the top scroll remain at the top of the pages they are posted on...or has there been daily updates that keep this post at the top of the page?
I've loaded in for 2 days, seen this post at the top, and thought we didn't have any new updates on the site and went to another place. Only later did I realize this 2-day old post has been pinned to the top of the page.
theres PLENTY, of other sites that have pirated games, Karen. you dont like what you see, your MORE, than welcome to visit, other sites. edit* as Craxton already mentioned, THIS IS, one of the HIGHLY ANTICIPATED GAMES of 2024 and PC.
Yeah that was my confusion too. Red Dead Redemtion wasn't pinned for 3 days. Cyberpunk wasn't pinned for 3 days. Baulder's Gate 3 wasn't pinned.
Those DID show up on the top bar (spotlight) that cycles across, and I always thought THOSE were the most popular games or most downloaded games or something. And since THIS game wasn't even in the scroller, I was just asking if this was some new change for 2025...DO the most popular games or most downloaded ones now get pinned at the top for a while instead of making into the scroller at the top of every page? In the 5 years plus I've been coming here, I don't think I've ever seen a post pinned to the top of the HOME page before, which again is why I was asking if that's something new.
laughs* and yet your here. ironic aint it? i get it, people like you, hate success and will do anything in their power to through it under a bus and make sure it stays there.
i just hate this dogshit series thats been everywhere for the last 20 + years that everyone worships and i tried multiple games of it and its one of the worst rpgs ever but all the weebs seems to fawn over it and keep it mainstream and theres like 15-25 games of it and they keep rereleasing remakes of it etc when theyres far better rpgs to play
100% your entitled opinion. dont like it, which you clearly dont. again, begs the question, Why Are You Even Here? i dunno why you gotta bring in weebs, but i guess? sorry if your still trying to figure out what your hobby is, or was alienated and shunned when you was younger.
Smiles i come here same as i come to every game post, simply to read the latest comments Looks at you with tearful eyes Why yes, Yes i was shunned and i need a busty dark elf girl to take me in and care for me 😉
whaoo..okay. while you wanna argue like a 13 year old. im just gonna ignore and move on. (seeing how your just aiming for personal insults at this point, i see no point of arguing any further, to match your current IQ)
We dont run the site for one, and it could be to keep relevant games in view for more clicks? (there have been no updated changes im aware of) but that doesnt mean there hasn been. All in all tho, this is one of the "biggest" games to release on PC this year (or this month) so the list was mostly showing "indie" titles. i suppose i should ask, "why is this such an issue to leave at the top of the list"?
People with incompatible gpus (only 16 Series Cards so far), please google : Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Non-RTX Card / DX12 Fix Workaround
You download a dll file and put it into the game folder - and then it works. And it runs pretty smooth - at least for me. Idk what the fuck their problem was. Fucking nvidia.
Their problem is two very simple words: Planned obsolescence. They want to sell their new cards(You know, the ones that cost an arm and a leg) so they have to find ways to force you to update, even when you don't have to. Same thing happened with GOW Ragnarok and once the "issue" was "fixed" by modders, they dropped the requirement so fast. I assume the same is going to happen with this one too
Why did they make a sequel to a remake. Just make a whole new game and stop wasting everyone's time. Next Dead space is going to have 3 little games separate from the remakes. Just make a new game and/or continue the story with better gameplay. controlcv gar.baage
How are they wasting everyone's time exactly? Are they forcing you to play this against your will? I'm guessing no. This is in no way a waste of time for anyone because despite the fact you may not want to play it, there are people out there who obviously do. Go play something else and stop wasting everyone's time with this sort of comment because it makes no sense. You're just being cynical for the sake of being cynical.
Im being truthful. If you choose to foster shitty game culture of stagnation, a plethora of other deep rooted piss poor management atrocities, etc. then it will stay in that era, forever. Which it has. and I dont count outliers because thats all they are...outliers.
define complete game. a philosopher would say anything is a complete game. whats your point? or did i misunderstand what you mean? do you mean the 1st answer which is you said this in jest or ill intent?
I mean, it is not a remake. They take the word "remake" literal. That's why the second part has a different name. It's more of a reimagining of the original game - a sequel about remaking the timeline. Neither Story nor gameplay is the same.
But maybe the word "original" was wrongly used here by Bowie.
They wanted to do a full remake of a game that had a shit load of content on 4 cd's. The only way that they can do that, stay true to the source material, and be good to the fans of the game is the create three games that showcased the original broad scope of the original. They could have chopped it up, like they did FF7: Original, but if you're gonna do a remake and expand on your original vision, I would rather them go full ham and create over-top-masterpieces that pays perfect homage to the original.
thats almost impossible in these conditions. you have increase in quality each time for you to actually make more profit. i think they are going to flop or have one thats ok. you know and then probably have tight niche fan clubs at best. but if im wrong. then come back and call me out and ill be like damn. that sucks. or just say im wrong. oh welll
They planned to make this Remake in 3-different titles, so they could milk the players 3 times, silly. 60x3 = 180 dollars. Or.. 70x3 = 210 dollars. I bet, if they really wanted, they could just make 1 big game with about 220Gb of size. They had a ton of years to make this new story. More than 8 years for sure. Buuuut... they wanted to milk more the player base.
This update is the worst ever... only 1Gb each takes forever because it's copying the entire END folder to do the updates and takes too much time to unload.
If you quit underway, you need to reinstall the entire game because of it.. Never found an update this bad coded....
"This update sucks" bc its 1GB, but if they did it differently. Then id have to redownload the entire game ANYWAYS. (id rather have a slower unpack time) than redownload the whole thing again. If its to slow for you, make sure your using a fast NVME. (took less than a minute for me). gen 4 nvme which is 2tb and is close to being full. Also on a 5800x so its getting "older" at this point.
It's not related to the time it takes. It litterally copy all of the files from END folder (around 120GB), update them and copy them back one by one in the original folder by deleting the untouched ones BEFORE updating the exe file at the end of the unload which is completely useless expect from killing your hard drive's lifespan.
I'm okay for time consuming updates if they actually do it right. The problem is all the recent updates for recent pirated games are the same type with this exact same issue which is very bad for really big games.
the update takes 30/40 seconds MAX. if your having issues, get something besides a HDD! Xdelta is the same shit steam uses, you arent really speaking about steam tho, only "FREE" games?? Besides, as far as my understanding goes, the only files being touched are the ones that are being replaced. (not every file).
Cannot start game due some default property warnings and errors: Error: CDO Constructor(canvas): Failed to find /engine/engineResources/WhitesquareTexture there a lot of same type list together with about 30 of them pop up at the same time in one error message so not sure if it my GPU problem or not need help?
Try updating the audio driver for the audio chip (For example, Realtec) that's soldered onto your motherboard in your machine or if you have one, the separate sound card that's installed on your motherboard. For the former, visit your motherboard manufacturer's website for the latest audio driver and for the latter, visit your sound card manufacturer's website for the latest driver.
If that doesn't fix the problem then try playing the game's intro with English voices, then change the audio (voice) settings to Japanese, exit out of the game, restart the game, allow the intro to play (The game will still play the intro with English voices - This is an issue that the dev needs to address) but from then on, the voices in the subsequent cut scenes should be in Japanese (Source).
I have the problem, after copy of file d3d12.dll to fix directx12: Game files required to initialize the global shader library are missing from: REBIRTH/END/Content/, My GPU is AMD RX 570 4GB
Check nexus mods for a mod that allows this to play on older GPU's. Also, make sure your antivirus software isnt removing anything from this games installation directory. Otherwise it will NEVER work!
I've been waiting for this game forever! I'm glad its finally out! Only thing is, I'm not sure if I should download it NOW or wait till the game has any updates later. I don't want to download 150GB all over again when a new update comes out. Should I go ahead and just download the game now or should I wait a bit for any crucial fixes or patches?
I play my games on a GTX 1650. I'm eager to play this, but I'll have to await for the legendary Modders to do the Devs's work, and make the game run on GTX 1650. With this stupid limitation, the Devs blocked hundreds of thousands of players around the world that still use GTX Cards, from buying the game. 👎🏼
Alan Wake 2 also had a similar limitation, but those Devs were smart enough to patch the game for GTX users.
The game uses DX12 Ultimate and shader model 6.6. GTX cards do not support this software as they are too old and underpowered for modern gaming. Like it or not, much like with consoles, you need to update your CPU and GPU to play newer games. You cannot expect old and outdated architecture to work forever.
At this point you are in the minority for hardware specs and you are not their priority. They prioritize toward where most of their money would be made. Upgrade, or move to console.
have YOU tried to play this game? because buddy, my game runs FINE, and have all the settings maxed. THOSE people on steam posts, are 95%, a YOU ISSUE. imagine getting info from steam posts DAY ONE. thats like getting info from reddit.
99% of the people that complain don't have a system that is strong enough to run a game like this. They still think games of 2025 are going to work on pcs made back in the mid twenty tens. They're OK with upgrading their consoles every 10 year, but not okay with upgrading their PC's every 15 and expect all games to work as if they were made 15 years ago lol.
thats whats sad. they DONT check the SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS and presume, oh, my windows 7 RTX 1060 should be able to run this game SMOOTHLY, in MAX SETTINGS.
This is a Sony title. This game was created and published by Square Enix. Had a timed exclusive on the P S five, that does not make it a Sony owned property.
Gonna have to hope for Nexusmods making a workaround on RTX Cards because I still run GTX and at the moment can't even upgrade to RTX anytime soon. Could also get a config.ini that stabilizes the game so check Nexusmods people. Not affiliated with them but just giving some insight. But anyways let's go!!
I'm on the same boat as you, Lite. I play my games on a GTX 1650. I'm eager to play this, but I'll have to await for the legendary Modders to do the Devs's work, and make the game run on GTX 1650. With this stupid limitation, the Devs blocked hundreds of thousands of players around the world that still use GTX Cards, from buying the game. 👎🏼
Alan Wake 2 also had a similar limitation, but those Devs were smart enough to patch the game for GTX users soon enough.
It's not affecting as many people as you might think. GTX cards are in the minority at this point. The 1650 in particular only covers about four and a half percent of the PC market. The most common cards at this point are RTX cards.
Times are changing and games are ever evolving but to have it happen to a game i really wanted to play sucks.
I know right?! SE blocked almost half their consumers because they wanted to be the idiot embracing the future first. Nothing wrong with it but they might've just shot themselves in the foot.
Yeah, NexusMods is gonna be the way forward if they can hopefully resolve the RTX/GTX issue. Or SE could release a patch when they find the sale or refund numbers dwindling or being either too high on the latter.
I didn’t even know about Alan Wake 2 having this 😅
There are ways to earn money online. Obviously I can't say more than that because I'd be promoting stuff that I'm sure would not be appreciated by the moderators here. The online work however, means I'm actually going to be able to upgrade to a 50 90 when they release. I've been saving for about 6 months doing these odd jobs online so I can afford it.
I heard about online gigs that pay well but never managed to find one that wasn't a scam. Won't ask for you to give up your secrets as the more people come in the cluttered it will be.
But regardless I will get to the point where I can afford a gpu just like you.
Really congrats because buying for a pc is sometimes a chore.
I'm not against telling anyone about the two sites that I earn money from, I just doubt that they would appreciate me linking to them here. They are two results that come up relatively early on with the Google search if you use a term like "ways to earn money online." One revolves around beta testing unreleased games, the other is testing websites and various other things.
did you purchase this, and how do you know this "work around" works?? in game settings appear to have nothing on "changing resolution" (alt+enter) should get the same result if what your claiming is true. no download links atm, so i wouldn be able to test. i do not fw torrent links so thats off the table.
Yeah, its an ubisoft "open world" game. Find a tower that tells you everything to do in the area, no exploration, no interesting side stuff to discover on your own. Its not good...
Are you sure about that? I've never heard a single person complain about that and from what little I've seen of the game from streamers, it doesn't look like that at all.

Thats a bit tricky, but you can follow along with this, replacing what it says to download with your save. YW!
BTW if you check below, most the questions on this have already been asked and answered several different ways... Roosevelt also has a possible solution posted. but, that file isnt the same as making your own "old" save work. but i assume you just want the summons to load in like everyone else. either way, the link above (reddit post) will work.
where your save's are i assume. it states it starts off at chapter 2. if you check below (somewhere) there are comments on where the save location is for this cracked version. Roosevelt, and myself have both stated it somewhere. i just cant remember at this time...
Making the older save from the first game worked, i dont see why this wouldn. The steamID is almost always included in the crack. With/without you seeing it... i dont use mod's myself, but ill try checking into it.
just to show you this crack does indeed have the steamID included with it...
here is an image from steam (showing the games steam ID) and at the same time, showing the crack itself which shows the steam ID..
also, there are a few different files you can download from that mod your asking about. if the one your wanting says "add it to your steam save" that means (where the crack is saving your files too) which im not sure if your aware, you will need to be at least on chapter 2 (as ive already mentioned).
p.s. idk why you mentioned steamID (your following directions on the mod for save location) this is a cracked game lol. Find COMMENTS BELOW on IGG talking about "WHERE SAVE FILES ARE". you would then just post the downloaded mod into that location (following the other part's of the mod's directions).
after checking the mods page, reading your response and thinking... it would appear your lost somewhere. so, i went ahead and grabbed the save location (FOR THIS CRACKED VERSION) if you downloaded it from somewhere else, then this may not be the save location. and will likely not be right. but again, for FLT (the IGG version) itll be C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\Steam\76561198636308959
these are my saves at this time for ffvii remake as i have not played since kcd2 came out.
Please read what i said dude. you are NOT following directions at all... i gave you the location to where that mod save is supposed to go. the location is located (close) to the bottom in my prior comment.
Cant completely installed. around 60% installation, it will stop and says installation error. and done this multiple times same around 60% and will stop installing even to a folder that is exclusion to anti virus. any fix or recommendation? pc spec, r7 5700x 16gb rtx 4060ti 16 gb b550m mobo win10
so there is a high chance that the file is not fully downloaded bro. From your torrent client, use the Force/Re-check.... feature or similar, let it check the integrity of the file, it will automatically download the missing part if there is any
I can't start the game. There's no error message or anything lke that. When I try to use the executable, nothing happens. Just a small loading circle close to the mouse as if trying to load, and then it stops.
it usually comes down to antivirus software, net framework drivers, gpu driver, or c++ drivers. check that you have the correct drivers all updated. and that your antivirus software didnt remove the crack. Its also notable that depending on what GPU you have, this may just flat out not run without a mod from nexus bypassing soft limitations for older cards.
You gpu card not supported This game required rtx 2060 or above or rx6600 or above and this message error From mod to use GTX 16xx series can be play it bypass not native cause gtx 16xx series cannot play same If you have GTX 10xx series it cannot be played or rx 55xx series cannot be played the same now is the end of old GPU card
Except it CAN be played with a GTX 10XX series. Square Enix implemented a BS requirement exactly the same way GOW Ragnarok had one to force you to buy a newer GPU. Fortunately modders already bypassed all that BS
yo i have gtx 1050 and im pulling my hair out trying to find the aforementioned work around for this. getting the same error. can u point me in the right direction?
Welp, guess you're screwed then. Either you upgrade your card or you give the moders some more time to include the 10 series cards, if they'r even compatible to begin with
Try it anway. The 16 and 10 series weren't much different and it should work on both, it only started to get huge differences with the rtx 20 series. At least its worth a try. I have read about people with the 10 series that they made it work. But I am not entirely sure what kind of 10series card they had.
Anyone has a .sfv file or something to check the .rar files? I’m getting an error on extraction and I suspect at least one of the file being corrupted on my PC.
Thanks for the answer, they all have the exact same size (5357971701 bytes), besides part30 (4729230817 bytes) but since it's the last one it makes sense.
Just installed WinRAR (I was using 7-Zip), it also fails but at least it told me which .rar was defective :D Re-downloaded and extraction in progress, I will let you know! Thanks for the help! <3
Ah, i don't use 7z that often (i mean i only use it for auto tool). I use winrar when doing manual work, i didn't know this, hehe.
BTW, i noticed some hosts seem to be quite slow, probably because they are overloaded, it's also one of the reasons why files get corrupted while downloading.
I use 7-Zip all the time, it's great IMO but in this specific case I really wish it could've been a bit more useful with the error :p Anyway, extraction successful now, thank you again and have a nice day!
Yeah this is sad to hear. But after playing it for a while the graphics does not seem that diff from the remake. I hope they will support GTX cards in the future.
yea, sounds like a retarded try at planned obsolescence. Seems they need drx12u for that game, which really isn't needed - And older cards could easily handle the game - even if not on high settings.
Hope they fix this either with a patch or some mod
I'm not sure if it works but I've an idea but i cant test it since i have no save data from ff7 remake. search in the install Dir from remake for *.ini and look for username and account (id) then copy both in the file "\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty\Steamworks\Steamv153a\Win64\flt.ini" now start rebirth and in the Main Menue click on bonuses and Check Saved Data. I've no idea if it'll work, it's just a guess. But if there's someone how know how to get those summoning bonuses, pls let us know
Why is it always have .rar file in .rar file it took me 2 hours to extract the same thing 2 times then I have to run .iso to install the game. Just why it's always like this?
maybe you misunderstood or you downloaded from somewhere... because there is no "rar in rar" if you download the game from this site. What you are referring to is SCENE's direct release with hundreds of rar
Yeah, even the people that enjoyed Remake said this one is worse for a variety of reasons. Mainly that the combat is worse, the story is worse, it's less faithful to the OG, sidequests are not only bad but they take too long, game focuses too much on the Costa Del Sol section. Basically, to most people Rebirth feel like a parody while Remake feels like the OG except better looking.
The game play is practically the same as the remake. They added a mechanic so you could do team attacks, otherwise the battle system is exactly the same.
The story is meant to be different and I can't really say any more than that because it would spoil the story. This game is not meant to be the story of the original, and they make that very clear in this game. The people that don't like this game because of the story, is because they think it's a 1 to 1 remake when it's not... it's a completely new story. This all comes down to square Enix being stupid and calling the first part of this series Final Fantasy 7 remake. It confused people into thinking it's a remaster instead of a completely new story. There is a very defined reason in the games as to why the story is different. Even in Final Fantasy 7 remake, there is stuff that goes out of its way to show you that this is not the original game's story if you are paying attention and if you're reading the context clues, you can pick out what they are gonig for with this series.
If people can't accept that this is not the original Final Fantasy 7 just being retold, that's on them. It's not meant to be the original Final Fantasy 7 remastered. This is its own story, separate from the original game.
I will agree with the complaints about Costa del Sol however. That place is the worst part of the game by far and it's because it's hours of doing nothing but being forced to play mini games to progress.
At the end of the day, I will say what I always say in this situation. Use your own judgment instead of having other people tell you what to like or not like. If I listen to the masses, I wouldn't be playing through half the games I do. Final fantasy 7 on the PS1 is one of my all time favorite games and Final Fantasy 7 remake series is very close to some of my favorite games overall as well. That comes down to my own personal judgment and not what others are telling me to think about the game.
From what I've seen it's mostly the combat animations people have issues with. Like in Remake, every hit had impact and you felt the impact but in rebirth, it's like your party members are literally hitting air and swinging like a headless chicken. Regarding the story...if they wanted to tell an original story, then why make it a FF7 game and not it's own thing? Why not make something original like Dirge Of Cerberus or Crisis Core? You know, set in the same universe but be something new, not an old story told to you again in a different way. To me, it felt like I was listening to an old man with dementia trying to tell me a story but can't remember the details so he just makes it up as he goes along. It's not it's own story but it's not the original story either.
Alright, I can't say what I want to say without spoiling it so, here we go.
DO NOT READ BELOW THIS LINE IF YOU DO NOT WANT SPOILERS TO FINAL FANTASY 7 REBIRTH. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The story to Final Fantasy 7 remake in general is a multiverse story. That is why it is not the same as the original. They are literally on a completely different timeline and you literally jump timelines in this series. This is not the original Final Fantasy seven, it was never meant to be the Original Final Fantasy 7, it was always a multiversal story that takes place on a completely different time line where things happen drastically differently. That's the whole point to the whispers in the first one, and if you read into the subtext, it's the type of thing you realize because the whole point of the first game is about defying destiny. The whole point that we see Zack at the end of the first one is because it's not the same timeline as the original.
The multiversal aspect plays into the story.
Why is it a bad thing that they use one of the most popular Final Fantasy games to do this? It lets people play modern Final Fantasy 7 that tells an original story and doesn't touch the original game. If you don't like the modern Final Fantasy, that's fine. To say that it shouldn't happen or it should be a different series doesn't make sense because it is a multiversal story. It's meant to be in parallel to the original Final Fantasy 7...
I'm sorry you struggle to read. Life must really suck for you. I personally wouldn't go around bragging about that as you seem to. What a way to make yourself look like a complete idiot though.
I would welcome a Vagrant Story with updated visuals and audio, but that's about it; it doesn't need anything else because it's perfect, truly one of the greatest games ever made. Knowing SE however, they'd very likely give it the Kingdom Hearts treatment, mess up the entire story and turn it into an anime cringefest because that's all they can do these days.
Honestly, apart from them screwing with the story, I actually liked Remake. But this... abomination... So Remake at least kept you on a path so interesting things were always happening. This takes the "open world" approach. But an ubisoft open world. Find radio tower, go to listed sites, complete mini game, return to area hub. Rinse and repeat over and over and over. And its ugly as hell to boot. In game, due to the poor lighting, your characters look like Fortnite characters.
I love that I'm not the only one that made the Ubisoft reference in these comments. I don't know what the hell they were thinking with that. If they would have did as they did with the first one and kept it more story focused instead of Ubisofting it, this game would have been so much better. I liked the game for the story, I hate the game for them making it like a Ubisoft Open World game and just the sheer amount of useless mini games. At least I know I don't have to worry about the mini games on a second play through because most of them give crap rewards. The card mini game throughout the whole series is worth going through though because that one actually has an interesting story to it.
See, that's the thing I figured most people would complain about but I've heard no one complain about that so far, only the other stuff I listed on my other comment. I personally have no interest in this, I like the OG way too much to play a game that screws with it's story so much but it's hard to imagine them doing worse than Remake.
I mean, the original is always there to play. This new game coming out doesn't affect the original in any way. I've never understood that logic when people will say stuff like childhood ruined because they messed with a sequel or a completely different story with the same name. The original is still there, childhood not ruined. The new game doesn't have anything to do with the old and one does not affect the other.
I won't go into big details on it again because I responded to one of your other comments vaguely explaining things in a non spoiler way because I don't want to spoil the story for people who do not know the story. I think it's important that people understand that this game is not supposed to be a retelling of the original, it is its own unique story that takes place outside of the original on the PS1. I've given hints on what the overall theme is and I don't think it'd be too impossible for people to figure it out from stuff I've said in these comments, but I don't want to come right out and say it just because I don't want to spoil the obvious difference from this to the original and the fact that they are not meant to be the same game or the same story.
it upsets us because they announced a FFVII Remake and well turns out IT WASN'T A FVII REMAKE AFTER ALL
The very concept of a multiverse SUCKS HARD
It fades out everything impactful. If someone dies, it's okay, you can get a different version of the guy from an alternate timeline. If something happens in one of the universes, it's not that concrecte since it might not have happened in other universes
It basically melts reality (and therefore immersion from our perspecitve) out of the lore.
Not to mention all the added cringiness...
I'm still playing it for the upgraded graphics and the parts of the game that are similar to OG but I really get the critics, cause they're literally spitting facts lol
But it is a remake. A remake is not a one-to-one copy, that's a remaster. A remake can have the same characters but have a different tone and story to it, which this does. If you don't like the way it has been remade, do not play it. I do not understand why that is such a hard concept for people to understand. You just come off as whiny and pretentious because they didn't make it the way you wanted them to make it. Guess what, it's their IP, it's their property, and they have the right to make it however they wish. If you do not like that, you can choose do not play it. To complain about others playing it And to talk down to others who play it, it might actually make you the worst of the worst. Go play something else if it's that big of an issue. It's not like you're going to buy the game anyway, I mean you are here after all. Instead of whining, go put your money into something else and support that instead.
I swear half of these people like to talk out their ass so they can enjoy the taste of their own shit.
No, it's not a remake. A remake doesn't change the story. It might tell it a different way but it tells the same story, this clearly does not. A remake changes a lot of things like the graphics, the game engine, the gameplay but what it never changes is the writing. Calling this a remake is idiotic and done purely for nostalgia bait. This is a different thing. Oh and guess what, being their IP doesn't protect them from criticism. Having the ability to play something else doesn't prevent people from criticizing. Don't like the criticism? Then stop taking it so personally and ignore it. The way you keep defending Square Enix you'd think you work for them. Well guess what, they're a corporation ,they don't give a rat's tail about you or how you're defending them. You think people whining are annoying? White knights like you are as annoying, if not worse.
Help me seeding this after downloading guys 🧡
Modern gaming is fucking cooked.
Tech advances very fast and you're complaining about getting 30fps in something this massive?
Could it use more optimization? Absolutely, but also you're using a cheap budget card from 6 years ago.
For those of you who want Levithan and Ramuh summons and cant figure out how to change resolution, follow what this reddit post says. (i have em now) The linked save roosevelt shared gives alot of DLC's but not these two. If you didnt see Roosevelts comment with the other save file needed, here is that comment.
If your "not sure" that you have them or not, well. Go into the game (like your playing) hit escape, system, DLC/bonus and compare my screenshot below. (this is with the reddit post i mentioned, and roosevelts shared save file.
To change res, switch to window mode, then select your desired resolution, then switch back to bordered fullscreen. (yea, that simple).
p.s. the game literally tells you "you dont have those two DLC's". So its not just in the main part of the game (where you go into pause, system, dlc area) if you hit the DLC check at the start, or when creating a new game itll ask to check. if you use the save shared by roosevelt, or if you dont both yield the same. and just to be sure, i just replayed through the entire prologue again to check) sure enough, i did not have Levithan and Ramuh when i was finished and able to check party members items/summons.
i do wanna ask if you played ff7 remake? (the first part to this 3 part game?) if so, that is why you had those summons. then again, , you would have had to change the steam ID to what it shows on the FLT emu... So i doubt thats the case but one never knows.
With the save roosevelt shared starting in Kalm (so you don't get to play the prologue on that save), the Bonuses section on title menu looks like this:
The DLC page in system menu looks like this:
But Set Materia page shows Levithan and Ramuh equipped:
EDIT. First time summoning Ramuh:

I've loaded in for 2 days, seen this post at the top, and thought we didn't have any new updates on the site and went to another place. Only later did I realize this 2-day old post has been pinned to the top of the page.
you dont like what you see, your MORE, than welcome to visit, other sites.
edit*
as Craxton already mentioned, THIS IS, one of the HIGHLY ANTICIPATED GAMES of 2024 and PC.
It's like sorting by "newest" but your first few results are still by the most popular
Those DID show up on the top bar (spotlight) that cycles across, and I always thought THOSE were the most popular games or most downloaded games or something. And since THIS game wasn't even in the scroller, I was just asking if this was some new change for 2025...DO the most popular games or most downloaded ones now get pinned at the top for a while instead of making into the scroller at the top of every page? In the 5 years plus I've been coming here, I don't think I've ever seen a post pinned to the top of the HOME page before, which again is why I was asking if that's something new.
i get it, people like you, hate success and will do anything in their power to through it under a bus and make sure it stays there.
i dunno why you gotta bring in weebs, but i guess? sorry if your still trying to figure out what your hobby is, or was alienated and shunned when you was younger.
(seeing how your just aiming for personal insults at this point, i see no point of arguing any further, to match your current IQ)
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Non-RTX Card / DX12 Fix Workaround
You download a dll file and put it into the game folder - and then it works.
And it runs pretty smooth - at least for me. Idk what the fuck their problem was. Fucking nvidia.
Put it in FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\End\Binaries\Win64
But maybe the word "original" was wrongly used here by Bowie.
If you quit underway, you need to reinstall the entire game because of it.. Never found an update this bad coded....
I'm okay for time consuming updates if they actually do it right. The problem is all the recent updates for recent pirated games are the same type with this exact same issue which is very bad for really big games.
Error: CDO Constructor(canvas): Failed to find /engine/engineResources/WhitesquareTexture there a lot of same type list together with about 30 of them pop up at the same time in one error message so not sure if it my GPU problem or not need help?
If that doesn't fix the problem then try playing the game's intro with English voices, then change the audio (voice) settings to Japanese, exit out of the game, restart the game, allow the intro to play (The game will still play the intro with English voices - This is an issue that the dev needs to address) but from then on, the voices in the subsequent cut scenes should be in Japanese (Source).
Thanks so much!
and even if there would be one in the future it would prob only be a fem mb download for it
so keep on waiting for another a year or two then.
so nope, still 3 disks to go in the old way, which they actually will put together into 2 parts instead of 3
so no remake was just the 1st part of the entire game
and if you want to check it, just play the original FF VII to see how big it was back than
so there will be a last one in the future :)
wtf
CAN WE GET ANY BRAND-SPANKING-NEW GAMES FROM THOSE CUNTS.
With this stupid limitation, the Devs blocked hundreds of thousands of players around the world that still use GTX Cards, from buying the game. 👎🏼
Alan Wake 2 also had a similar limitation, but those Devs were smart enough to patch the game for GTX users.
At this point you are in the minority for hardware specs and you are not their priority. They prioritize toward where most of their money would be made. Upgrade, or move to console.
BRUH
https://steamcommunity.com/app/2909400/discussions/
because buddy, my game runs FINE, and have all the settings maxed.
THOSE people on steam posts, are 95%, a YOU ISSUE.
imagine getting info from steam posts DAY ONE.
thats like getting info from reddit.
they DONT check the SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
and presume, oh, my windows 7 RTX 1060 should be able to run this game SMOOTHLY, in MAX SETTINGS.
no point to add denuvo
very few games from sony consoles are released with denuvo!
With this stupid limitation, the Devs blocked hundreds of thousands of players around the world that still use GTX Cards, from buying the game. 👎🏼
Alan Wake 2 also had a similar limitation, but those Devs were smart enough to patch the game for GTX users soon enough.
Times are changing and games are ever evolving but to have it happen to a game i really wanted to play sucks.
I know right?! SE blocked almost half their consumers because they wanted to be the idiot embracing the future first. Nothing wrong with it but they might've just shot themselves in the foot.
Yeah, NexusMods is gonna be the way forward if they can hopefully resolve the RTX/GTX issue. Or SE could release a patch when they find the sale or refund numbers dwindling or being either too high on the latter.
I didn’t even know about Alan Wake 2 having this 😅
I heard about online gigs that pay well but never managed to find one that wasn't a scam. Won't ask for you to give up your secrets as the more people come in the cluttered it will be.
But regardless I will get to the point where I can afford a gpu just like you.
Really congrats because buying for a pc is sometimes a chore.
No ultrawide support, its locked at 1920x1080
Set to Windowed, set it to your resolution + F11 to fullscreen it.
runs buttery smooth at 4K
in game settings appear to have nothing on "changing resolution" (alt+enter) should get the same result if what your claiming is true. no download links atm, so i wouldn be able to test. i do not fw torrent links so thats off the table.
how to install update. i downloaded the game from this site
You can copy installer's log here and give me the link:
https://pastebin.com/
ill download it again to double-check
if i get the error again, ill come back with the log
thank you!

BTW if you check below, most the questions on this have already been asked and answered several different ways... Roosevelt also has a possible solution posted. but, that file isnt the same as making your own "old" save work. but i assume you just want the summons to load in like everyone else. either way, the link above (reddit post) will work.
just to show you this crack does indeed have the steamID included with it...
here is an image from steam (showing the games steam ID) and at the same time, showing the crack itself which shows the steam ID..
also, there are a few different files you can download from that mod your asking about. if the one your wanting says "add it to your steam save" that means (where the crack is saving your files too) which im not sure if your aware, you will need to be at least on chapter 2 (as ive already mentioned).
p.s. idk why you mentioned steamID (your following directions on the mod for save location) this is a cracked game lol. Find COMMENTS BELOW on IGG talking about "WHERE SAVE FILES ARE". you would then just post the downloaded mod into that location (following the other part's of the mod's directions).
after checking the mods page, reading your response and thinking... it would appear your lost somewhere. so, i went ahead and grabbed the save location (FOR THIS CRACKED VERSION) if you downloaded it from somewhere else, then this may not be the save location. and will likely not be right. but again, for FLT (the IGG version) itll be C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\Steam\76561198636308959
these are my saves at this time for ffvii remake
as i have not played since kcd2 came out.
i gave you the location to where that mod save is supposed to go. the location is located (close) to the bottom in my prior comment.

I'm getting this error, can someone help?
This game required rtx 2060 or above or rx6600 or above and this message error
From mod to use GTX 16xx series can be play it bypass not native cause gtx 16xx series cannot play same
If you have GTX 10xx series it cannot be played or rx 55xx series cannot be played the same now is the end of old GPU card
https://youtu.be/uAX6wfsPWw8
Is there anything else I can do about this?
The torrent link weighs 150 gb, do I then need another 150 gb extra to install it or is the game just run?
https://youtu.be/ogJRrGGaXtA
And what host did you download from?
If everything is ok, when you extract, usually winrar/7z will notify you which file is corrupted. You just need to re-download that one.
BTW, I forgot, you should use latest winrar/7z
EDIT: I just tried downloading the files again a few minutes ago, it unzips perfectly for me now. What host did you download from?
BTW, i noticed some hosts seem to be quite slow, probably because they are overloaded, it's also one of the reasons why files get corrupted while downloading.
it waste of time if download 30 part and can not play it @@
Hope they fix this either with a patch or some mod
search in the install Dir from remake for *.ini and look for username and account (id)
then copy both in the file "\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty\Steamworks\Steamv153a\Win64\flt.ini"
now start rebirth and in the Main Menue click on bonuses and Check Saved Data.
I've no idea if it'll work, it's just a guess.
But if there's someone how know how to get those summoning bonuses, pls let us know
https://igg-games.com/final-fantasy-vii-rebirth-free-download.html#fast-comments-jt=szr0_KFtV_M7
Also, can I play this smoothly at GTX 1650 Ti?
Gonna have to wait. Thanks for the information.
The story is meant to be different and I can't really say any more than that because it would spoil the story. This game is not meant to be the story of the original, and they make that very clear in this game. The people that don't like this game because of the story, is because they think it's a 1 to 1 remake when it's not... it's a completely new story. This all comes down to square Enix being stupid and calling the first part of this series Final Fantasy 7 remake. It confused people into thinking it's a remaster instead of a completely new story. There is a very defined reason in the games as to why the story is different. Even in Final Fantasy 7 remake, there is stuff that goes out of its way to show you that this is not the original game's story if you are paying attention and if you're reading the context clues, you can pick out what they are gonig for with this series.
If people can't accept that this is not the original Final Fantasy 7 just being retold, that's on them. It's not meant to be the original Final Fantasy 7 remastered. This is its own story, separate from the original game.
I will agree with the complaints about Costa del Sol however. That place is the worst part of the game by far and it's because it's hours of doing nothing but being forced to play mini games to progress.
At the end of the day, I will say what I always say in this situation. Use your own judgment instead of having other people tell you what to like or not like. If I listen to the masses, I wouldn't be playing through half the games I do. Final fantasy 7 on the PS1 is one of my all time favorite games and Final Fantasy 7 remake series is very close to some of my favorite games overall as well. That comes down to my own personal judgment and not what others are telling me to think about the game.

The story to Final Fantasy 7 remake in general is a multiverse story. That is why it is not the same as the original. They are literally on a completely different timeline and you literally jump timelines in this series. This is not the original Final Fantasy seven, it was never meant to be the Original Final Fantasy 7, it was always a multiversal story that takes place on a completely different time line where things happen drastically differently. That's the whole point to the whispers in the first one, and if you read into the subtext, it's the type of thing you realize because the whole point of the first game is about defying destiny. The whole point that we see Zack at the end of the first one is because it's not the same timeline as the original.

tl;dr stop sucking corpo cock
ff6 its already done and good enough, i dont want this idiots add bullshit like ff7
