FantasyRaiderr has released a retro mod for Final Fantasy 7 Remake that allows you to play with the original 1997 3D models. From what I can see, this mod only replaces the character models for Cloud, Tifa, Aerith and Barret.
Due to the mix of the other high-quality 3D models with these retro ones, the game can feel odd. In my opinion, it’d make more sense to replace all the character models with those from the original game.
But anyway, I’m certain that some of you will find the mod cool, so go ahead and download it from here.
Speaking of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, we also suggest using the following mods. This FOV/Camera Distance Modifier Mod lets you adjust the camera viewpoint to your liking. Dynamic Resolution Disabler is also a must-have mod that de-activates DRS (which is enabled by default). Another cool mod unlocks the dev console, allowing you to also unlock the game’s framerate. And lastly, there is an in-game character customization mod, an HD Texture Pack, and a mod that improves over 530 NPCs faces.
Enjoy!

worst thing about ff7 if you ask me. They just look ugly.
Why would you? Nobody is playing FF 7R for the improved gameplay, or story, but only for the graphics.
The gameplay is about as mind numblingly simple and boring, as could possibly be, and the story…… lmao Well, ya.
You take the graphics away, and all you’re left with, is a pile of SquareEnix s**t.
ff7remake combat is actually ground-breaking, easily the best action-rpg combat mechanics with party members ever.
Man, if they would have released the game like this, with the same old character models, then it would reside in my library.
Unpopular opinion : Final Fantasy VII has never been even worth playing.
Even more unpopular opinion : only the 2D Final Fantasy games are good. (especially V-VI)
Most unpopular opinion of all : Crystal Project is better than any Final Fantasy.

I haven’t read so much heresy in one comment in my entire life.
