I am about to reinstall windows 7 but I am wondering if I need to backup my games or unless it will be automatically saved after reinstalling windows

How is the game installed? Through Steam?

Yes

Do you have Steam Cloud enabled?

How would I find out if it is enabled in steam or not? is it in the properties because I don't see it

 

Edit: found it it is not enabled but I did backup the user_####### folder in my documents/square enix/final fantasy 7 directory

You just need to maintain the Save_XX files.

 

If you have steam cloud enabled, then thats already taken care of.

If you have enabled Square-Enix cloud save, thats another way thats taken care of.

If you backed up save files manually, thats taken care of.

 

Any of the above three methods will do.
