For awhile I thought I was imagining things,but it turns out that when FF7 was released it was the PS1 and PC.

Well, I've got the box at home. (Eidos actually, I think). And In played through it on the PC. One of the few games I bought full price for PC while I was still in school.
This came up a couple days ago when someone was asking about getting Square Enix on here actually. But yes, 7 is on PC, and someone else said 8 was too.

Yup, it is. Played that too on the PC (also I'v never owned it).

That is correct. I played FF7 on the PC, in all its bugged glory, with my then-top-of-the-line Voodoo 2 cards in SLI. :F
I have Final Fantasy 7 and 8 for PC, so yes, they exist.
FF7 works pretty well on Win7. Only problem I had was old ffdshow which caused videos to break down. On Vista and XP I had to use some microsoft-made-compatibility-software-whose-name-I-can't-remember but it worked perfectly on those too.
Do I have to say it would be freakin amazing to see them both on gog?

I think that goes without saying. Quite literally. :)

It would be a lot better if they just made an emulator and used the original PS1 releases. The PC releases were horrible. The best thing you can say about the ports was that they were mostly playable, if rather crash prone, had poorly optimized controls, had new bugs and were real system hogs for their time (the later might not really be an issue these days).
I never had trouble with FF7PC on a Windows98SE system, with a Pentium2 MMX 350MhZ processor, and 32mb RAM.
Same here, I never had any problems playing either game on my old comp. Should see if I can get them running now though.
I have the PC version. I was a PC gamer, and I did not have a Playstation. I heard and read all the rave reviews of Final Fantasy 7, so I was curious and bought the PC version in the late 1990s or early 2000s.

Coming from the PC gaming background, I was very disappointed by Final Fantasy 7. The blocky graphics were awful, (PC games were already in hi-def at the time.) The game felt very limited, restricted, linear and repetitive compared to the PC RPGs of the same time period: Fallout 2, Baldur's Gate, Deus Ex, System Shock 2, etc. I did not like its unintuitive and odd turn-based (or phase-based) battle, at all.

I was so disappointed by the negative experience that I had never completed the game, and I skipped buying a Playstation 2, (i.e., the most popular video game console of all time.) I forced myself to play to the point where a female party member (Ariel?) was killed. At that point I quit playing the game, not because I was upset as many other Final Fantasy 7 fans were, but because that game was so dull and had wasted enough of my time already.

I also had no problems running FF 7/FF 8 and if I recall I had a 133 Pentium with 16 mb ram. No crashes, not slowdowns, no nothing. Sometime the videos were out of synd, but that was due to my shitty CD drive.

I greatly enjoyed FF7, but you need to be open to japanese story telling and jRPGs in general. The translation was supposed to be pretty shitty, but I played the german version and that was ok, if not very good.

I didn't care much about FF8, as the "love story" was really tiresome.

But considering there aren't that many good jRPGs on the PC it would be a nice addition to the catalogue.
