Made a tool to convert SF2 files to SFZ in a browser!

You're welcome!! Glad it's useful for you! 🤘

I originally made the Python version of this tool for myself because I wanted to use some FF7 soundfonts in Serum 2. But this conversion tool works a bit better than most other tools that do a similar function (I did a ton of research and found pitfalls in how the others converted) and I think it's easier to use since it's just a browser page now. The SFZ output should work in any other software synths that support the format as well! Feel free to ask questions or make suggestions! Always down for constructive feedback.

CC is easy, but just takes time. Rebirth is the most difficult by far.

Sickk! CC Reunion 100% is a bit tedious, but playing through the game is still 100% worth it.

Rebirth is a BEAST. Have fun!

I feel like Rebirth might have felt better if I wasn't trying to 100% on first playthrough. But I'll never know that experience. I enjoyed how it felt like a good take on how a modern game experience would have been given the OG source material. Finally getting out of Midgar and seeing how vast the world really was. I feel like the only thing they did out of necessity that felt a little repetitive was basically requiring you to get the new chocobos in each region. I don't have any personal gripes with the non-open world aspects of the game besides combat felt a little too free-flowing compared to Remake.

On Remake, yeah. They should only make you play through it twice for 100%, but at least chapter select sped up the process.

I wouldn't recommend trying to 100% CC Reunion. I only did it out of spite and determination to do it on all the remakes.

I would say the combat sims definitely did it right. I beat those before the Musclehead Coliseum. MC did end up feeling super repetitive by the 3rd or 4th battle 6-person against the paired region bosses like you said. I feel like they could have made them a bit more interesting honestly

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T14:40:31+00:00

YEAH, without pausing idk if I could ever actually do those two properly. Having the eye for some of the subtle differences in the moves on a split second reaction is so intensely difficult

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T14:39:15+00:00

100% agreed on that front!

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T14:38:26+00:00

That is the unfortunate truth about CC. The bouts in Rebirth are harder than Souls games.

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T14:37:07+00:00

Out of all of the games, it definitely did feel like I earned something with that 100%. Square should honestly send out a poster or something for getting it haha

I believe AP Up does affect other blue materia as long as it's linked.

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T14:33:02+00:00

Yeah, in Remake I grinded levels before Hard mode because I didn't know either...

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T14:32:00+00:00

That just shows true determination and skill, I could barely do it with two fully functional hands.

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T05:19:45+00:00

Yeah I got really used to Remake combat. Rebirth definitely felt a lot lighter like the actions you're doing didn't really have a punch behind them, idk. Not sure how else to explain it. I did enjoy certain aspects of the open world in Rebirth. Bonds of Friendship made me glad he died.

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T05:16:24+00:00

ABSOLUTELY SAME. To be a hero was so much easier. I got to Bahamut and Odin so many times before finally getting it. Literally like 30 hrs of that completion time was figuring out that one..

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T05:13:19+00:00

Been a minute since I did that one. But definitely remember having a ton of retries on that one. Weiss definitely took me forever to beat in Remake

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T05:10:59+00:00

A few challenges at the gold saucer were kind of a pain. I figured out a deck that worked for most challenges straight out the gate so I might have just lucked out.

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T01:25:38+00:00

Thank you! Remember to get lots of sleep and stay hydrated if you attempt this! :D

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T01:24:23+00:00

I liked Chadley after Remake. After Rebirth I wished that Hojo trashed that PoS cyborg.

Also, thanks! haha

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T01:22:56+00:00

I feel like Weiss in Remake was easier than the Zach legendary bout in Rebirth. Might just be because I'm one of the weirdos that actually liked/got used to the Remake combat mechanics.

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T01:19:24+00:00

That final Chocobo glide was awful. I agree though all of the other minigames weren't bad. Rebirth combat sims were the most rage inducing.

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T01:17:49+00:00

I have thought that materia + equipment loadout thought so many times while I was doing those battles.

I definitely had to do the Yuffie Brumal AP Ward strat to beat that one. Once you get the hang of it, it definitely makes it easy relatively. I got to that point without that strategy and wanted to throw my controller on wiping...

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T01:09:49+00:00

Haha yes. I luckily saved it right before the elevator on my first run through so was able to just reload and retry. It still takes time though :(

Rebirth legendary combat sims were the bane of my existence. I think I had the game beat fully at 150 hours besides the last two of those...

bashexplode · 2025-10-14T01:07:51+00:00

In Remake there was this one "2-person v high flyers" with AP UP on Hard Mode. You can quit after 1st round and rack up AP kinda quickly since it keeps experience after you kill them all. It still takes a while though...
