What's SYW?
The SYW mod represents the most accurate modern take on the PC version of Final Fantasy VII helped by deep learning techniques (such as ESRGAN). The package includes cleaner, more detailed and higher resolution background arts, battlefields, worldmap, magic effects, animations, minigames, menus and videos. All upscaled with AI or done in HD from scratch.
The main goal of the SYW mod is to get as much as details as possible without having an oversharp and overclean effect; also to keep the rendering as natural as possible and constant in quality across the whole game.
Requirements
-Vanilla Final Fantasy 7 Steam version 1.0.9
Features
-Upscaled HD Fields with full animations (plus char texture for 3D elements like the flipper in the bar for example)(by myself)
-Upscaled HD Battle backgrounds (plus textures for some enemies)(by myself)
-Upscaled HD Worldmap (plus effects)(by myself + Aavock for minimaps)
-From scratch HD Battle effects and magics by Kela51 (plus several fixes by myself)
-Upscaled HD Minigames based on english version of my old waifu + updated texture (Aavock and myself)
-From scratch HD Menus and Font (by Aavock)
-Upscaled HD Animations (first mod with these animations)(by myself)
-Upscaled HD 30fps Movies (first mod with 30 fps fmv)(by myself)
-Modern 3D models (ChaOS by Kaldarasha)
-Psx HQ music (FFNx FF7Music by myst6re)
-Complete sound overhaul (Cosmo Memory by bonez)
Steam All-In-One Installer
-Download and extract the .zip archive file
-Use the .exe install (will take some time)
-Launch the game with the desktop shortcut to setup FF7_SYW
Video of the installation : HERE.
Further Modding: 7th Heaven 2.3+
-Use the lastest updated 7th Heaven version HERE. (Scroll down, click "Assets", and grab 7thHeaven-vxxx_Release.zip).
-Then go in 7th "Settings/General Settings" and bottom-left you'll find FFNx section, click canary then check for updates, say yes and then "Restore defaults" next to save.
-Then go in 7th "Settings/Game Driver - Animated Textures" and set it to ON.
If you don't update 7th Heaven + FFNx, you won't have field's advanced animations plus certain fields will hide stuff, the 30fps FMVs won't work properly too.
If you get slowdown, please disable the "Advanced Texture Animations" option from the iro.
(double clik on this mod and turn off the "Advanced Texture Animations")

Changelog 5.30
It's not an update you can do, it's a full release.
The main change is that version use 1998 .exe to launch the game instead for the steam's ones.
So no more save delete bug is possible (finally).
The game will also launch faster as it don't need to launch steam first.
The very first time you launch the game it can take some time to launch because it'll need to copy some file.
