Final Fantasy VII Remake is a good example of why a save-location page must name the storefront, not merely the game. The Steam and Epic releases both use the Documents-based FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE tree but separate data under Steam and EOS, while the Microsoft Store build uses a WGS container. A useful backup therefore starts by identifying which executable/storefront produced the save. Copying the parent folder blindly can mix unrelated metadata and make later troubleshooting harder. SaveEditor treats this hub as a reference for locating and preserving the PC data; it does not infer that slot data is safely interchangeable across every storefront.
For this PC reference, the documented storage is Windows: Steam: %USERPROFILE%DocumentsMy GamesFINAL FANTASY VII REMAKESteam ; Epic: %USERPROFILE%DocumentsMy GamesFINAL FANTASY VII REMAKEEOS ; Microsoft Store: %LOCALAPPDATA%Packages39EA002F.EXED1_n746a19ndrrjgSystemAppDatawgs. The known file or folder pattern is Storefront-specific save subfolders beneath the documented FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE profile root.. The PC releases separate Steam, Epic/EOS, and Microsoft Store WGS storage. Backups should preserve the whole active storefront save directory because slot files and companion metadata can travel together.
Backup guidance: Close the game and launcher, identify the storefront actually used, and copy the complete matching Steam, EOS, or WGS save directory before replacing any slot. Label the backup with storefront and date. Steam Cloud, Epic cloud, and Xbox Cloud are documented for their respective storefronts; OneDrive may also affect Documents when folder backup is enabled. Launcher and cloud context matters because The storefront changes the save root. Do not copy a Steam folder into EOS or WGS and assume the container layout is equivalent.
Compatibility and recovery should stay conservative. PC storefront saves are related game data but their container paths differ. Treat manual cross-store transfer as a separate migration task rather than ordinary restore unless a tested conversion workflow is available. If the expected progress is not visible, If progress looks missing, first check Steam versus EOS versus Microsoft Store and whether Documents is redirected by OneDrive. A cloud conflict can restore a newer or older copy after a manual replacement. SaveEditor.com only labels a game-specific editor as available when a separate linked Tool has a verified operational runtime; this reference page by itself is not an editor claim.
