You can check out some of the filtered backgrounds, which fix some of the issues with pixelation, but this is one area that you’ll likely have to wait for the remake to improve. There are a few artists currently working on converting the backdrops to high-res remakes, but it may be years before they finish. As it stands the only way to improve the environments is to do them by hand. No large resolution masters have been made available (if they exist), and due to the massive amount of backgrounds in the game, no fan project has managed to complete a mod to improve them. Even though the mods included with 7th Heaven help with almost every other aspect of the game, the 2D backdrops are only available in their original size. The most significant issue with the game, that even mods can’t help (currently), is the 2D backdrops. There are new sound packs you can use that enhance and improve the feel of the game, and you can even change the way the save point looks. You can also change the music from the original PlayStation score to an orchestrated score, or a fan-made remix. You can add new enemy models, new character models (for both the field and in-battle), and new vehicle models to name a few. This includes new models for just about everything in the game. With mods, you can make a lot of changes to the game that put it graphically somewhere between Final Fantasy 9 and Final Fantasy 10. However, it kept a lot of annoying issues that plagued the initial PC release. The updated version is the game you’ll find on the Steam and Square Enix storefronts, and work at 1080p, and has the original PlayStation music.
Square Enix released an updated version of the game in 2012 that made the game compatible with modern systems. There’s a whole host of small things that mods can do to make your experience with FF7 PC more enjoyable. The whole process is contained within the 7th Heaven program, so it’s pretty easy to understand. If you head over to the 7th Heaven tutorial thread, you can find a step by step guide on how to convert any copy of FF7 for PC to work with the tool, and how to install 7th Heaven, download mods, and get them working with FF7.
The primary way of installing mods on FF7 is the 7th Heaven tool.
It can be a little hard to navigate Qhimm since it’s message board-based, but there’s only really one thread and one tool you need to find to get started. Fortunately, getting some great mods installed on a PC copy of FF7 isn’t too hard these days.
