I love the mods but they work because the 2013 version is just the 1998 version repackaged. Why would SE make yet another version based on the rickety old codebase of the 1998 version? If that was the case this would just be a version update. I know the response will be “cash grab” but they’re giving it away for free to anyone with the 2013 version so that doesn’t fit either.
This strategy is why the mobile port of FFVII is also awful, it’s literally just the PC port in a virtualization wrapper. The 1998/2013 version will be around for anyone who wants to use the mods. I’m hoping to see something akin to the Unity rebuild we got for FFIX, which will allow a wave of new supported ports for mobile as well.
Unfortunate they are delisting the 2013 version though. That does mean that there may no longer be a moddable version available, which is definitely a regression.
Maybe it’s just me but I kind of hope it does.
