I've been playing every Final Fantasy game on every console since Final Fantasy 1 on the nes. Seeing my favorite franchise heading to the PC, I was affraid it would stay there, and that I'll always have to upgrade my computer the play the latest game in the series.
I was wrong. Final Fantasy VII is my favorite FF game, but this PC version isn't as good as the PSX version that came around a year before. You get cheap audio, very pixelated backgrounds and a lot of video cards problems. It plays like a bad port too, with the clunky interface and the average controls settings.
If you've never played the game, go buy an used psx and play it on your tv as it was always meant to be. The game is so good that you'll enjoy every dollar and every minute you've put into playing this wonderful game. However, as a PC port, I can't really recommend it, unless you really have no other choice.
I gave it a 8 because it's still in my opinion one of the greatest games ever made. The PSX version would get more than 10 if I could.
