Now here is something really cool. Modder ‘S3ik3n’ has just released a new mod for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth that allows you to explore its world in first-person mode. This mod will allow you to better appreciate the world that the devs have created. Thus, I highly recommend trying it.
What’s crucial to note is that during combat, the mod will switch to the default camera. In my opinion, this is the best thing to do as FF7 Rebirth has a mix of turn-based and real-time combat with up to three characters. At any given time, you can control whichever character you want. So, a first-person combat mod wouldn’t really work.
As S3ik3n noted, some chapters use specific cameras. Right now, he has only modified those for cities, open outdoor areas, and the Chocobo. So, there is a chance that the game might switch back to third-person in later levels or in specific scenarios.
Moreover, while riding a Chocobo, treasure notifications will no longer appear. You’ll need to pay closer attention to your surroundings. However, if this bothers you, the modder has created a version that keeps the Chocobo view in third-person.
All in all, this mod is ideal for exploring the world’s environments. However, it also exposes one of my biggest issues with FF7 Rebirth, and that’s its low-res textures. Square Enix has really dropped the ball here. Even with its PC enhancements, FF7 Rebirth still has a lot of low-res textures.
Since you’ll get closer to all objects with this mod, things may look quite bad. As such, I highly recommend using it with this 4K Texture Pack. This mod improves around 1300 environmental textures. It does not overhaul all of them. So, here is hoping that we’ll get a new version that will upscale all of the game’s textures.
You can go ahead and download the mod from this link. The mod should be compatible with the latest version of the game.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
