Final Fantasy VII patched on Switch/XB1 to remove music bug and more

Yes, but we still got it day and date, didn't we? The point still stands.
On the other hand, it was a disaster because paying for the Maxima DLC (which was kind of overpriced to begin with) did not put the PS4 version on par with the other ports. It lacked all of the Day One and Limited Edition voucher content (such as Japanese voices) as well as previously released DLC. And of course, nothing for Vita.
The version that released on Switch and XB1 was the exact same version of the game that was already on PS4, that they've refused to fix for years now. If those other versions can be fixed, I can't see any justifiable reason the PS4 version can't be also.
I mean, it's not like this is an unreasonable expectation here.
Wow..... I can't believe they still didn't release a patch for PS4, like seriously it never cross their minds that the PS4 owners will be pissed? They will not say ( we want the same patch we cried out for years for it ) ?!
I want to replay FFVII again next month but this.... and this really makes me frustrated and angry!!!

I understand the frustration for all the other system owners.
But. At least they have patched it in the 2 latest releases now. Maybe it will eventually be patched in PS4 and Steam?
I think there should be a bit more optimism in the thread...

I guess I'll stick to the original version and framemeister. Or Vita. Too bad.
Hopefully they can get it right for PS5.
I received a response from SE support, too:
tl;dr:
No, go away. Buy the Switch/XB1 version.
Not surprised. I'm sure sales of FF7 on PS4 have dried up, and they don't care about the bad PR. People forget and move on very fast these days.
it really doesn't make sense, this should be a small patch that doesn't require a lot of resources. i guess they truly don't think enough people care.I received a response from SE support, too:

Is there a way to see the sales comparison among the 4 versions (including the Steam release)?
If there is really a big difference then there is no financial incentive to go back to old versions, considering that its not a game-breaking bug, so they probably wont act then .
It wouldn´t be enough. The menu interface and font in 9 is beyond terrible: I cant play the game with those things looking the way they do. I would require an update with the PS1 menu and font restored.
I mean, what did you expect them to say? It's the customer department, they can just say they're transmitting that to the proper department.I received a response from SE support, too:

We don't have a sales comparison but the PS4 version debuted at third place on a december (the biggest month of the year) on PSN:

I'm sure it sold enough to deserve a simple fix.

Thanks for the info. In that case its probably a timing thing. All those PS4 sales were made a couple of years ago, compared to the Switch and Xbox recent ones. Word of mouth, popularity, actual players playing right now instead of 2 years ago, etc...
More incentive to focus on those 2 platforms first.
That's what I've been saying but would it have killed them to tell us it's coming instead of leaving us in the dark? I have no reason to believe it'll come out at all other than the logic we keep telling us that it made sense to focus on the two newest platforms first but we don't know if we'll get it at all and that's extremely shitty. Especially for the version on the only platform that has the Remake announced to be on.
Do us right, Square! Many of us who bought this Remaster on ps4 in 2015 were right there in 97 buying the original on PS1 and are stoked to play the remake on PS4. Fix this shit!
With a FF7Remake in the horizon and the hype machine being turned on for that This bad PR and bad word of mouth can't be a good thing. I'm not pissed that Switch and XB1 got the patch first, I understand why they would be a priority (although there's no excuse not to ship the fix for PS4 earlier, they had 3+ years for that), what I'm pissed at is Square releasing the patch we've been asking for for years and not even pay us PS4 owners lip service of saying "we know you're waiting too, it's coming".
That's all I'm really asking for.
Yes, and it's now it's more or less the best version of the game.
They probably have dried down but recent trailers for the Remake might lead to higher interest in this port, also for some ps4 users.
I won't forget about this at least and it has been years. People who got screwed over might also not be as supportive of S-E in the future so I'm thinking there should be sufficient incentive for them to fix this. At this time, especially with the fixes on other platforms, there should be no excuses left for them.
Oh I agree. I'm no longer buying Square Enix games new for this reason. I'll just pick them up used a few months after release and it's a win/win. They've burned me many times over the years (Secret of Mana remake, FF7/9/10) that I can no longer feel good about giving them day one sales.
I'm going to stay strong and not buy 7R day one either. As bad as I want the game, I know that I can't support scummy anti-consumer practices.
Sorry, it says I was tagged in this post, but I can't figure out why lol
Yeah, It wouldn't be surprised if the PC/Xbox release of that game will have significant improvement that won't come to PS4. I'll probably just borrow the game or buy it used. I don't want to be screwed by this company for the fourth time in just one gen.
This patch ain't coming to the PS4 owners is it...?!
Wow..... SE..... just wow.....
I want to replay it one more time before the Remake and aiming for the Platinum trophy this time.... but this is just so f**ked up!!!!!

Enjoy playing everywhere my friend :) . Tip: it looks better in portable mode.
I'm so pissed about Square not only snubbing PS4 owners for almost 4 years but they addressed the problem on XB1 and switch like a month later and we still don't even know if it's coming to PS4 at all.
And this is the platform that's getting the Remake! Way to go square!

I bought the Switch version a couple of days ago due to the patch and yeah, this was the first thing I noticed. It's fine during battles actually, where I would expect framerate issues to crop up the most, but just walking around the areas you notice some surprising amount of stuttering. I wouldn't exactly call it a mess but it's definitly not that well optimized of a port if an old PS1 game can't run smooth on the Switch.
In the original PS1 release the battle frame rate ran at 15 frames a second.
This isn't what I'm talking about. See below:
Yes. This is what I'm talking about. It's incredibly obvious when you're running in an area and the screen is panning that this is not a locked 30 fps. The judder is very obvious. And yet pretty much everyone out there is somehow oblivious to this.
For the record, the PS4 and PC versions are fine. The Switch version is the only one to suffer from this, and it's preventing it from being the definitive version of the game.
You don't give money at all to the company if you really want to make a point.
What if FF7R part1 got a port on another console later with updates ?
Isn't it much safer to buy the multi ones which are likely to get any update on all consoles at the same time if there was any.
Timed exclusive are always the riskiest bet.
PS4 owners are literally being ignored here, and Square Enix is fully aware of what they're doing. Bug fixes shouldn't count as exclusive content to late ports.
Where do you draw the line ?
From what i've been seeing here anything in DQ11S or FF12 seem to not count either (I mean, it all should be "patched" is what i read).
Buying the next biggest game and booing the rest doesn't make any sense to me. Again, how many versions/editions will FF7R get when it's all said and done...
Who knows which system will have what exactly, especially with new systems coming up and generations getting blurry.
edit : I agree though. Bugs should always be fixed, no matter the version.
On a side note I never really thought of the music restart as a bug. So I see it as an enhancement more than a fix. But that's more of a point of view.
I mean, you can have that debate but if we were to focus on FFVII it's a clear cut case. Square Enix ignoring PS4 here is just messed up.
It literally is a bug though :P
Yeah, it seems to be a regular 1 frame stutter every half a second or so. You can see it most clearly in cutscenes with long pans in. Doesn't seem performance related as such to me but like it's some kind of odd timing bug. It is pretty annoying if you can notice it, whatever it is.
