is there any way to play with ff8 on a windows 7 PC?

If you don't mind paying for it, the recently released PC version of FFVIII is compatible with Windows 7. You can get it on Steam:

FINAL FANTASY VIII on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/39150/)

ok, thank you so much

@OP:
Anche la versione originale sarebbe compatibile con Windows Vista/7, con alcuni "accorgimenti" (un po' come accade per FINAL FANTASY VII). Diciamo che i prodotti acquistabili su Steam ti evitano di "smanettare".
