There is already a Final Fantasy VII configuration, not specifically for the Steam 2013 version though. Does the Steam 2013 version behave differently to the point that we need a different configuration for it?

For Final Fantasy VIII, steam lists it as having full controller support. Is that wrong? Do we need a configuration for it?

Not entirely wrong but DPad and Triggers do not work for XInput devices.
