WithFinal Fantasy VII Rebirthcoming to PC on June 06, 2025, a whole new audience can experience the 2024 hit - and with any PC release will come a vast array of mods. For the first year of its release,Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthhas remained exclusively on PlayStation 5, making PC players wait an extended period of time. The wait will almost certainly be worth it,considering that mods will definitely come into playupon the release ofRebirth.
When Final Fantasy VII Remakereleased on PC, fans were quick to create a vast variety of fun and technical modsthat made the game more enjoyable. In general, mods typically range from the useful - fixing bugs or improving lighting - to the fun, like letting players use alternate costumes. When it comes to mods, there’s also the downright bizarre, with some of the most viral typically adding in characters from other franchises -Thomas the Tank Enginemods are firm favorite.
10Saved Materia Loadout Mod
A Handy Mod To Save Lots Of Effort
InFinal Fantasy 7 RemakeandRebirth, equippable weapons and accessories are known to have a few slots toadd materia to a character’s abilitiesand skillset. However, one known fact about the materia loadout is thatplayers cannot pre-save a loadoutif they want to make changes depending on circumstances. For example, when players are forced to switch between a cast of characters to pursue a part of the story, players may have to swap out materia from their usual party members to their new ones.
I Love The “Worst” Part Of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has been met with universal acclaim, but some players point out one major flaw with it. However, that flaw doesn’t bother me.
A mod that can save materia loadouts, however, would be a game-changer. This would allow players to have pre-made loadouts that they can just swap in and out of for certain battle sequences or storyline purposes. This would makemateria customization far more convenient and less time-consuming. Not to mention, whenever players have to include certain party members, a customized loadout makes it easier to transition back into the player’s picks for their original party.
9Ever Crisis Costume Mod
A Perfect Costume Change
For those who don’t know,Ever Crisisis a spinoff mobile gamethattakes place throughout the entirety ofFinal Fantasy 7. It’s a compilation of sorts, gathering stories from the main game and its several spinoffs. It even offers a gamemode that takes place prior to the events ofFinal Fantasy 7, covering the past of Sephiroth and three new characters.
One fun aspect ofEver Crisisis its costume design for its characters,which are gathered from lootboxes. While the story is definitely the selling point, the costumes add to the charm of the game. A mod designed to allow players to customize their party members with these costumes would be fun, allowing players the creativity they may so desire while playingFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth. It’s not a necessity per se, and it definitely doesn’t improve any forms of gameplay, but it would undoubtedly add an exciting element to the presentation of characters.
8Playable Zack or Sephiroth Mod
The Perfect Replacements
Zack and Sephiroth are core characters that have garnered love in theFinal Fantasycommunity for years. The ability to play as Zack or Sephiroth in place of Cloud outside of their designated timeswould be a fun mod to include in the PC version ofFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This is because, while Cloud is a character that allFinal Fantasy 7fans love and appreciate, there’s something charming about the first-class soldiers. Ever since the release ofCrisis Corein 2008, fans ofFinal Fantasy 7havegrown to love Zack Fair.
Meanwhile, Sephiroth has been gaining steady development for years now. Though it doesn’t mean that they have to have their own abilities—though it would be rather cool—justbeing able to play as them throughout the game would provide a breath of fresh air. This mod would just appease fans who prefer playing as Zack or Sephiroth, and even though it doesn’t make sense storywise, their character appearances would more or less just serve as placements for Cloud.
7Lighting Adjustment Mod
A Necessary Fix
It’s a common complaint in theFinal Fantasycommunity thatFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthhas some questionable lighting. This lighting, such as being too bright in Costa del Sol, leads to players experiencing a little too much of the white color on the screen. This poses an issue for players who can’t really see much apart from the white color, making theexperience in Costa del Sol a bit lackluster.
Not to mention, some of the lighting inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthhas proven to be unflattering to not only the locations of the game but it also makes thecharacters look a tad bit lifeless. It’s almost uncanny. This isn’t to say though that the lighting doesn’t create beautiful cinematic moments,but it’s grown to be an overall technical issue with the game.
6Complete Party In Battle Mod
A Wider Cast Of Characters
A common complaintwith RPGs and JRPGs in generalis that players get a wide cast of characters to select from to form a party, butthey can only pick three other party members. Now, while it’s understandable why there’s a limit on party members—making the game too easy, for example—it still is a bummer to only be able to allow three on the field at a time, including the party leader who players can never seem to swap out.
The cast of characters inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthis so diverse in their abilities that it’s hard to pick only three other party members. This leads to players missing out on a lot of cool abilities and synergies. Square Enix tries to appease the playerbase by including other party members but only on the sidelines, which is much different than being able to control them. A mod fixing this andallowing all party members to be controlled on the battlefield would lead to such a fun experience, though it may be a technical impossibility.
5Party Leader Swap Mod
More Experiences
Another interesting creation for modders to consider forFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthis a party leader swap mod. Inside of battle,players are allowed to control any of their party members, which is great because every character is diverse in fighting style. But as soon as the battle ends, even if players are playing as Tifa in battle, they are immediately switched back to Cloud as party leader for field exploration, which is most of the game.
FF7 Remake Part 3 Has The Perfect Starting Location
FF7 Rebirth skipped over Rocket Town and Cid’s background story. But, FF7R Part 3 can get the ball rolling by heading there first.
Being able to swap out the party leader would just make the experience a bit more fun, especially sinceFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthhas such a fun cast of characters. Players already got a taste ofYuffie in EpisodeINTERmission, and there are points in the game where players are forced to swap to a different character, but these experiences alone just show how fun playing another character could be.
4Classic Soundtrack Mod
A Return To Form
One aspect of the originalFinal Fantasy 7game that every fan loved was the original soundtrack. Like mostFinal Fantasysoundtracks of the PlayStation era,the themes were filled with synthesized instruments. This defined the era ofFinal Fantasymusic before Square Enix started using more orchestrated-sounding music, which is sometimes softer to the ear.
Even though the soundtrack ofFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthis great in all aspects, the original soundtrack ofFinal Fantasy 7set a specific tone, and it is a game that is beloved for its soundtrack. A mod that replaces the currentRebirthsoundtrack with the original would be a fun mod to implement, asthis would bring back the old feelings of the classic game.
3FFVII Remake Costume Mod
More Choices For Clothing
Back during the Don Corneo chapter ofFinal Fantasy 7 Remake, Tifa, Aerith, and Cloud all received special outfits. More specifically, they received three special dresses, and depending on certain decisions made in the game, one dress would be chosen for the Don Corneo chapter.Final Fantasy 7 Remakehit it out of the ballpark with these dresses, which were not only stunning but also very fitting for the three protagonists.
Final Fantasy 7 Remakehas a mod that allowed players to keep certain dresses on Aerith, Tifa, and even Cloud. This mod could easily be used inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth,allowing players to dress their characters in certain outfits that they liked from the previous game. It definitely keeps the gameplay more exciting, and who doesn’t love Aerith and Tifa in their beautifully designed and iconic dresses?
2Additional Materia Slots Mod
More Space For Magic
Materia are useful, equippable magical abilities that help players in battle. It is crystallized mako energy that allows players to cast certain spells or use certain abilities. The most useful item in the game,there are simply not enough materia slots in equippable armor and weaponsinFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Of course, this adds to the challenge of the game itself, but it also prevents users from creating truly powerful characters.
How Old Is Yuffie In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
Yuffie’s age in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is known, but not often mentioned. This is exactly how old the ninja is during the events of the PS5 game.
By creating a mod that allows for additional materia slots in weapons and armor,players will be able to customize their characters even more in terms of power and strength. This can lead to truly deadly combos and a more diverse battle strategy instead of relying on the same four-to-six materia. Plus, having to pick and choose between incredibly useful materia is just plain frustrating.
1More Aggressive & Challenging Enemies Mod
Hard Mode, Activated
Another common want in video games nowadays is a higher difficultyand more of a challenge. This is especially true in JRPGs, since plenty of times players can grind or have impressive setups for their party. InFinal Fantasy 7 RemakeandRebirth, enemies tend to be on the less challenging side, especially after a certain point.
One interesting modwould be to implement a more aggressive enemy system that makes the enemies inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthmore challenging.Plenty of players love a good challenge, and with modern battle customization, there could eventually be pretty interesting and impressive results, leading to more chaos on the battlefield and more fun inFinal Fantasy 7Rebirth.
