  Here's an update on some of the details of Final Fantasy VII for the PC:
        - The game is due this summer.  A demo should be available         
shortly before or at its release.
        - Hardware requirements: p/166, 16 MB RAM, and 200 MB HD space (this  
       improves load times *greatly* over those of the PSX).
        - Supported 3D cards: 3Dfx Voodoo 1/2, Rendition V2100/V2200, and     
    others through Direct3D.  So far, the game runs at about 50+ fps on a     
    Voodoo 1 board.
        - The game won't feature mouse support, but will have a full keyboard 
        setup including hotkeys.  A gamepad is the recommended input device.
        - The plot is identical, but dialogue has been edited to remove       
  spelling and grammar errors.
        - As with the PSX version, there will be no voice acting.
        - Much of the art (including 2D backgrounds and 3D textures) has been 
        redone with more detail, to reflect the extra graphical crispness the 
        PC version has.
        - The music is still in MIDI, but there's an XG emulation mode which  
       better represents what the composer had in mind.
  Hope this satisfies all interested.
