boct1584: I never had trouble with FF7PC on a Windows98SE system, with a Pentium2 MMX 350MhZ processor, and 32mb RAM.
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.
