With the release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake on PC, one thing was certain. Within days there would be a deluge of mods for the acclaimed roleplaying game. Here's one seeking to recapture those nostalgic PS1 camera angels.

God I wish the PS4 and PS5 versions had mods especially this one. The nostalgia from just watching that video. Or even if FF7R Part 2 had sections of the game that had some classic camera angles. The Remake camera is great and all but for someone who loved the original more than the remake it really would pay homage to upcoming FF7 Part 2 imo

fr0sty868d ago

Why? The fixed angles, especially those that made it difficult to see where you were supposed to go, were one of my biggest gripes about the OG FF7. You're throwing away the ability to truly take in Midgar's beauty by being able to look in any direction... kinda an insult to the artists that put so much effort into bringing it to life.

God bless the modding community.

Orchard868d ago

Pretty cool. Mods are one of the things I wish they'd support better on console. PC is great for mods, but I don't really want to play all my games on PC.

Shiore2u868d ago (Edited 868d ago )

Consoles are meant to be closed platforms where the amount of fun you're provided is strictly only within the bounds of what a conglomerate decides you're allowed to have. Anything that takes away control from them, especially when there's alternatively money involved (i.e DLC) isn't going to happen. If you want mods, the latter is your only real option.

shinoff2183868d ago

No there not. They have just always been closed. Now a days they have more power then they used to and its possible. A handful of games already offer mods I'm sure you know that

MadLad868d ago

@shinoff

Literally just Bethesda games? There's not a single other game I know of, off hand.
And they weren't wrong. It's all about the big 3 owning the singular marketplace you're stuck with.
Some are just more egregious about it than others.

Shiore2u868d ago

@TheRealTedCruz
Even with Bethesda games the "mods" are severely limited across Xbox and Playstation. Sony won't allow external assets, deeming them a "security issue". Neither will allow script modification of the executable, which is what allows modders to utilize the most out of the software. Price of convenience is a steep and narrow one.

specialguest868d ago

This is an awesome mod. Too bad I already bought the PS5 version. I waited forever for the PC version, but finally caved in and bought the PS5 version

MrGameAndWatch868d ago

Man, I was hoping for that since I replayed the original game after playing remake. But unlike the creator, I really want to get the turn by turn battle back, so this is cool he showed that it is totally possible!

If you can't go without breasts in a cutscene, you need help

Rebel_Scum87d ago

Should’ve ended that sentence with either “you maggot” or “you puke” Sarge

Barlos87d ago

Well bloody hell, I guess I need committing then. Stick me in a padded cell

Eonjay87d ago

People need serious help if you 'need' to stare at a minors breasts. And some of you admitted that so at least we have acknowledgement. Can we not sexualize children? It shouldn't be considered progressive. I think the mass majority of people regardless of political view aren't into to kiddie boobs.

CrimsonWing6987d ago

look, man... why support censorship in any way? Forget the cleavage, it's the principle. Do you like owning the cable television edited version of a movie or do you want the original R-rated version?

I'd be just as irked by this if WB Games put out a patch that censored all the swearing and gore in an MK game. So, regardless of how you feel about boobs being covered up in the game, it's the principle of censorship that gets most people. I couldn't care less if she wore a sports bra from the beginning, what I hate is people covering my eyes and ears like I'm a 5-year old telling me, "This is too inappropriate for you."

So, yea, censorship is dumb as f*ck regardless of the content. Changing something that's already established that nobody made a big deal about, and nobody is getting their rocks off to (let's be real here), all because people get uncomfortable with boobs is dumb, plain and simple.

Like, give me a f*cking break here...

AdonisIsBeast87d ago (Edited 87d ago )

Yea, apparently you’re incapable of comprehending the point of the complaint. As another user mentioned, it’s principal. These are fictional characters in fictional worlds, it gives most people no pleasure see “the cleavage” as used in this example. The entire point is that we are all getting sick and tired of these fake and unnecessary DEI and ethics departments censoring media simply for the sake of it. Unless theres nudity, they should leave it alone.

Babadook786d ago (Edited 86d ago )

I prefer the before, but I won’t make a mountain out of a molehill. (No pun intended)

CobraKai86d ago

It’s about the needless censorship.

I mean she is portrayed as being 15 in the scene. I don't really consider it woke to cover up a child (begs questions why they did it in the first place though).

Rocketisleague87d ago

In the original nomura was going nuts with child panty references and such. Look it up

k2d86d ago

Devil's advocate here.. who's doing the objectification here though? How would progressives react if teenagers where asked to not show skin and cover up their feminine traits? No bare shoulders. No hair. No make-up etc.. 20-30 years ago the main stream tune was the complete opposite, and games where under attack from conservatives and we had to defend games from them. Now publishers are pre-emptively chastising and censoring to please left AND right, depending on which region of the world their trying to up ease.

dmonee85d ago

Alot of Japanese animation, cartoons, video games, are SuS, when it comes to sexual exploitation lol.

Gamingsince198186d ago

She's not anything , she's not a real person, she was never born, they could make her nude and no harm would be done to anything but the minds of people that can't tell real life from video games.

OMGitzThatGuy87d ago

Black rock is against sexualizing minors? Those demons!

AdonisIsBeast87d ago

Actually they’re FOR exploiting children and promoting puberty blockers and life altering hormone treatment for minors. Do your research

qalpha86d ago (Edited 86d ago )

BlackRock is apparently FOR sexualizing minors. They (along with Disney) were vehemently against the Florida parental rights bill (better known as the 'don't sexualize young elementary kids' bill).

banger8887d ago

"It’s unclear why Square Enix opted to make this change around 4 years after the game’s release."

Because some progressive, blue-haired freak started quivering uncontrollably and frothing at the mouth?

CrimsonWing6987d ago (Edited 87d ago )

What’s weird about it? Females wear low cut shirts all the time, do you bust a nut over it? No… well, I’d hope not.

This is a person who has breasts that wore a low cut shirt, the end. It’s not child porn and nobody in hear was fapping to it.

When you go to a mall and some 15 year old has cleavage showing do you run up and throw a bed sheet over her? I mean Geezus you see more with swimsuits…

Our culture is so weird. We have people championing women for doing OnlyFans as such a brave and empowering decision. I see celebrities barely wearing anything on the red carpet exposing their nipples and butt cheeks and everyone is gawking at how amazing the outfit is.

A freaking game has a fake character that in no way looks 15 and in no way is oversexualized, but had a shirt with cleavage in what, a 30 second scene, and suddenly that’s where we draw the line… like what world am I living in?

andy8586d ago

Just personally find it weird. But what is actually weird is the people who are complaining about it. If she was 12 is that suddenly not OK. 10? There's a reason stuff like that isn't shown in media on children. You'll obviously see it in real life but doesn't mean it's right.

gold_drake87d ago

yes and to make it more in line with Rebirth. shes wearing a black undershirt in that game. consistency.

the japanese definetly didnt care if she has one on or not ha.

Barlos87d ago

Sweet Baby Inc is probably the reason

I_am_Batman87d ago (Edited 87d ago )

Seems much more likely that the team simply wanted to prevent perverts from zooming in on the cleavage of a 15-year-old in photo mode. I'm pretty sure the Nibelheim flashbacks in Remake were only a couple seconds with a fixed cutscene camera, so that wasn't much of an issue until Rebirth where this character model is obviously used a lot more.

Maybe you guys should hold your horses until you've played the game and stop jumping to conclusions. I've already got spoiled about a scene that happens later on in the game and it certainly didn't fit your hypothesis of Square bending the knee to oversensitive "progressives" with an allergiy to attractive females.

They wanted to have consistency with the new character model. That basically it.

Why not make the new character model resemble the design of 4 years ago though?

gold_drake87d ago

while i want my games, especially the ff games with alot of lore, to be as accurate in their translation as possible, the english localisation took huge liberties in the first place.

the japanese and german for example are in line with one another. english is not. but yea. its a silly change, the steel sky was a great thing when she said it, but apperantly the original english lip movement was more in line with "i dont like it" than with "the steel sky, i miss it"
