Official FFVII 1.02 patch Filename: ff7_102.zip Function: Fixes bugs that Square Eidos caught and felt like fixing... Instructions: Replace your *original* ff7.exe and FF7Config.exe with the ones in this patch. Download!

The SaiNt's High Resolution Patch Filename: [The_SaiNt]_High_Res_FF7PC_Patcher.rar Function: Enables you to play FFVII on your PC in High Resolution! Resolution modes this patch introduces are 1280x960 and 1280x1024! Instructions: UnRAR this archive. Find the place you unRAR'd it to. Choose either the default patch (1280x960 - [The_SaiNt]_High_Res_FF7PC_Patcher) or the 1280x1024 patch (...it has 1280x1024 tagged onto the end.. come on now..). 
After you double-click the patch, a window will come up. 
Click the button that says "Patch." At this point, it will most likely say something along the lines of: "Can not find the file. Search the file?" don't worry. 
Just click "yes" and browse to "C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII\ff7.exe" 
....once there... just click open. It will take a second, then in the Patching window, you will see a notification that says *PATCHING DONE* ...and.. that's it folks. ^^ Current Version: 0.99 Download! IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are going to use this mod, this must be the first thing you install after the Official 1.02 patch!! You must not install anything else before this patch!!

The Reunion Patch Filename: The_Reunion_Patch.rar Function: Replaces the crappy, blocky, "super-deformed" field PLAYABLE CHARACTER models with the much better looking battle model counterparts. Few slight problems arise when using this patch, such as clipping, but you can still play the game with 100% funtionality. :) Instructions: Since I'm lazy.... and someone else has already written a VERY good tutorial for this.... go here: Reunion Patch Tutorial Current Version: Umm... the newest...? I haven't found a version number yet... Download!

Borde's NPC Reconstruction Project Filename: NPC_0.2.rar & NPC_0.2_repack.rar Function: Replaces the crappy, blocky, "super-deformed" NPC field models with much better looking counterparts. Instructions: It is the exact same process as The Reunion Patch. Just extract the files into the char folder before you recompile it with LGPTools. Current Version: 0.2 Download Borde's pack! (if you want to view the models) Download the repack! (more user friendly)NOTE: Both of these packs produce the exact same result. The only difference is the file structure. Borde's is set up so that you can go in and view the models if you have the program and the desire to do so.. but this also means that it is structured by folders.. which is, in my opinion at least, a pain to go through each folder and copy all the files into the "char" folder, one folder at a time. The repack I made though, however, is more user friendly. Basically, you just open the NPC folder, then copy all the files there into the "char" folder before recompiling it.So, basically, you are better off downloading the repack unless you want to view the models. :)

FF7 Music Filename: ff7music110.zip Function: A program that lets you play whatever music you desire while playing through FFVII. No, really. Instructions: Read the readme... it's too much to retype.. that and.. someone went through all the trouble of typing if for you in the first place. Current Version: 1.10 Download!

FF7 Music PSF (FF7 with Original Music) Filename: ff7psf.zip Function: Replaces the crappy MIDI music that SquareSoft decided to include in the PC version, with most of the original music from the PSX version..basically at least. Few songs are missing.. but, for the most part, it's good. Instructions: Read the readme... it's too much to retype.. that and.. someone went through all the trouble of typing if for you in the first place. Current Version: FF7Music - 1.11; Cetra - 0.2 Download!
