The opening movie, ending movie, and credits movies do not play.
Not watching the opening is actually better so you don't see all the characters right away. Watch the ending on youtube since the game overlays some text that's not present in the movie/ys7_ep.wmv file. Otherwise pretty flawless experience.
Ran on GE-Proton 8-18 and everything worked well including videos.
Ran the game on Proton Experimental and it worked exactly the same but no videos. Black screen then continued after that.
So far going with GE-Proton, will update if something breaks.
Brief, occasional mild slowdown in some locations. Never interfered with gameplay
You'll need to start by using the configuration tool that steam offers on launch to set this to 1280x800. Game runs perfectly on current Experimental Proton
Without tinkering, the game plays with black and white texture all over the screen. Also the control map is messed up.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
What displayed on the screen and what to pressed does not match. Need to be reconfigured manually
With better hardware finally can fight the final boss. But decides to replay the whole game anyway.
Had to switch to desktop mode, start the launcher, changed resolution settings to 1280x800
game runs normally out of the box with proton 7.0-1. was able to continue from an earlier save file.
occasional frame drops
Played for a limited time. will update once i finish the game and if i encounter further issues
Finally made the videos work with protontricks 587100 quartz amstream cinepak and with the newest release of proton-ge-custom.
Nothing else was needed. No more need to delete the Ys SEVEN/lang/en/system/font.bin file as well, the text works right out of the box with this proton version
The game works out of the box with proton 5-16.3 but like it was said in previous comments months ago, to this day I still can't make the falcom logo and the opening video play despite many attempts including the usual tricks for the falcom games(installing lav filters, amstream, quartz, etc). Well, there's only 2 fmvs besides the logo anyway, the op and credits, you can always check them on your game's local folders.

I had to switch to Proton GE as well as remove the "lang/en/system/font.bin" file from the installation folder to make the text appear properly. In regular Proton the text didn't appear at all, while in Proton GE it showed boxes instead of normal character if the file remained.
Rarely the background in the starting menu is completely black, but other elements remain and the menu is completely navigable.
I could not get FMVs to play. I tried tweaks suggested for other Ys games and Trails series, but they didn't work in this one.
I'm reuploading the report because the customization got completely overwritten by Proton GE data. In case it gets overwritten again, here's what it says: I had to switch to Proton GE as well as remove the "lang/en/system/font.bin" file from the installation folder to make the text appear properly. In regular Proton the text didn't appear at all, while in Proton GE it showed boxes instead of normal character if the file remained.

The text only appeared properly when I switched to Proton GE and deleted the file "lang/en/system/font.bin" in the game folder; for some reason I couldn't see any text in regular Proton, while without removing that file in Proton GE there are boxes instead of normal letters.

how can you enjoy the game when it crashed right at final boss?
text come out of the text box
I used PS4 Controller and the input map didn't work properly
The game crashed when I reach the final boss
Fonts are too wide, and run out of the dialog boxes. Deleting "lang/en/system/font.bin" from the install folder fixes the issue, and text looks as expected.
Unknown(< 15 minutes with Proton)The game runs fine until it reaches the part before the final boss fight where the game keeps crashing
Unknown(< 15 minutes with Proton)
Only issue found is long texts appear outside the dialog box.
UnknownButton mapping icons for DualShock 4 are incorrect, but can still be configured how you want
UnknownUnknownFont is way too wide, occasionally overlaps or runs off the edge of the screen. Otherwise no issues found.
