Square Enix has heard your cries.<\/p>\n<p>Except, of course, they&#8217;re all tone deaf, it seems.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Coming soon&#8221; to PC, Square Enix will be relaunching Final Fantasy VII &#8211; not remade, simply &#8220;optimised to support modern hardware and with a host of new online features,&#8221; according to their official Twitter tweet.<\/p>\n<p>What new features, I hear you ask?<\/p>\n<p>Well for one, there will be achievements &#8211; so you can finally prove to everyone that you defeated Emerald Weapon instead of being called a big dirty liar.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, you will also be able to change stats and money levels at the click of a button with the Character Booster &#8211; and if you have an Internet connection, you will have access to Cloud Saves (CLOUD saves, oh Square Enix, you funny bunch).<\/p>\n<p>Currently, that is all the information that is available &#8211; and it remains to be seen if there will be any cosmetic changes or not. However, it&#8217;s safe to assume that <span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Aerith<\/span> still dies.<\/p>\n<p>Spoiler, by the way.<\/p>\n<p>The game will be available exclusively through Square Enix&#8217;s online store. No release date was given.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_40755\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
