This is a 100% speedrun of the "new" PC version of FF7 released on Steam and GOG recently. There is not yet a leaderboard for this version, I just wanted to establish a starting point. This was a pretty good run, though, and is faster than the 2013 version WR and the first ever sub-14:30.

Here is the breakdown of 100%:
1. All Bosses
Must defeat all bosses
2. Complete Inventory
Finish the game with all items in inventory including all weapons, armors, and accessories. The exceptions to this are Earth Harp, Desert Rose (because turning in to finish the quest is more important than hoarding the items), Save Crystal (so we can more easily verify 100% completion), and all Limit Break teaching items (because learning the limits is more important than hoarding the items). Key items are not tracked.
3. All Materia
Finish the game with all Materia in inventory.
4. All E.Skills
All E.Skills learned on all 4 unique E.Skill materia
5. All Limit Breaks
All Limit Breaks learned on all characters
6. Yuffie + Vincent recruited
Self-explanatory
7. "All" Sidequests
The following sidequests must be completed: Breed a gold chocobo; give guidebook, Earth Harp, and Desert Rose to Kalm traveler; get the rewards from Turtles' Paradise; recover stolen materia in Wutai; defeat Godo in the pagoda; talk to Lucrecia behind the waterfall; win Special Battle; purchase Villa de Cloud; obtain all 4 Huge materia.

As always, huge thanks to AceZephyr, MonetaryDragon, BrutalSpeed, LilGecko, iblink22, Zheal, Mgerkin, and many others for their contributions to 100% routing.
