Overview
- Square Enix launched the updated PC version on Steam and GOG for $11.99, granting the new build free to existing Steam owners.
- The 2013 edition was removed from sale but remains accessible to prior purchasers, and save data does not carry over to the new release.
- Quality-of-life additions include a 3x speed mode, an option to disable random encounters, a battle enhancement toggle, and autosave.
- Players reported that launch code effectively doubled combat speed due to framerate changes, desyncing animations and audio in battles.
- A same-day patch claims to fix battle speed, but users continue to cite crashes, blurry backgrounds/FMVs, texture and overlay issues, screen tearing, and menu framerate drops, with Steam feedback holding at Mostly Negative.
