Years before Eidos was acquired by Square Enix, the company worked with both Squaresoft and Enix separately. Eidos published Dragon Quest Monsters from Enix and handled the PC port of Final Fantasy VII which was packaged in a trapezoidal box. The PC version was never released in Japan probably because the market for PC software is fairly small and Squaresoft would have to switch the text back to Japanese.

 

Fast forward to 2013 and Japan is finally getting Final Fantasy VII International on PC. This version is localized with Japanese text too. Square Enix will sell digital copies through their eStore just like they did with the US re-release. Final Fantasy VII International will be released "soon" in Japan.

Quite funny thing that FF VII has been out for PCs for quite long time.

This is the new version.

I know, but those new things aren't really reason to buy this if you already have it for another console

lol..it's like the reversed version of the ff or kh games like they did in Japan, people outside Japan always got the game after the Japanese but this game is in opposite way

Sounds a bit weird I must admit.

Square is just doing this to upset FF VII fans.
