About this game
This version of Final Fantasy VII is a Chinese-made unlicensed "demake" (a remake of a game that uses inferior technology) of the popular Japanese RPG Final Fantasy VII .
This version retains most of the dialogue (translated into Chinese) of the original release, and, with a few exceptions, the narrative develops in exactly the same way.

Naturally, given the much more limited technology of this version's platform, everything else has been changed accordingly.
For all purposes, the game looks, sounds, and plays like a Famicom (NES) game.
Much of the graphics and sounds have been ripped from other games (usually early Final Fantasy installments).
The gameplay underwent some significant changes.
Many of the monsters are entirely different.
The difficulty level is much higher than in the original version.
The game still retains the materia system (equipment imbued with magic spells that can grow), but it has been simplified, and the growth is much slower.
The characters are unable to execute any "limit break" attacks.
Much of the original game's content has been eliminated, such as all the mini-games, optional locations (there is no town of Wutai), optional characters (no Yuffie and/or Vincent), and optional bosses (no "weapon" monsters).
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Final Fantasy VII (1997) for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Final Fantasy VII (1997) to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 1997.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for Final Fantasy VII (1997) — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
