About the Demo:
Fortunately, there are no more huge audio files taking up space in the demo. The demo lets you play a battle at the battle arena, equipped with some materia and items.

Don't worry if you find your PC too slow, Eidos has given an option to play the game on different resolutions (there's a 320x240 slower PCs, I like it). So before buying, try the demo and see if it works perfectly on your system.

FAQ ON FF7 FOR PC

Q.1) Is a 3D card required to play FF VII when it is released for the PC?

Q.2) Are there plans on bringing more titles to the PC besides FF VII?

FF VII, scheduled to be released for the PC sometime this summer, is the only PC game in development by Square Soft at this time.

In a game the size of FF VII, there may be instances where a spelling mistake occurred or a translated phrase appeared a bit off and was not caught or corrected in time during the testing cycle.
