Finding a new way to enjoy a game again is always a good thing in my book. Even if it’s making the game look silly. I’ll laugh my way to the Northern Crater.

I actually like this mod, it's not quite as soulful as the originals but it doesn't really clash either. It's a valid attempt at a different chibi style. Those full size ones that are completely off scale with the backgrounds are peak FF7 LOOKIN' GOOD though.

They're most certainly not, you can drop the battle models over the field models easily but nobody does because they clip through everything and no one fits in a doorway anymore. They look ridiculous. Most of the FMVs are chibi too, remember, so they'd need to match up. I don't think you have the slightest clue what a 'last ditch measure' is.

NPCs are totally redone. Some (especially the fat dudes) retain a more exaggerated style though. You can get a better idea here, although the dude has some hideous Reshade filter applied making everything oversaturated:

The 7th Heaven mod manager. The models are the Ninostyle ones. There's one pack for chibis and one for not. There are also other remodelling mods, though I prefer the Ninostyle ones as they seek to emulate the style of the original 2D artwork. Others are based on things like Remake. Pic related is what I use.

i wouldn't even really say these look bad in a vacuum, though something about the colors/brightness on the models in the first one is off, and the bulkiness makes everything feel a bit cramped. on the other hand, the second one kind of feels like i'm looking at characters from a drab graphic adventure game like syberia or some shit. maybe it's that cloud and barret are so heavily stylized and the others just look like middle-grade npcs. which is what they are, but that disparity only really works with simple models or sprites. like, the first picture is more uniform in that regard, so i guess i prefer it. god i hate the text boxes in every mod/remaster of a game though, just leave that shit alone

I still got it working even with a pirated copy but it crashes a lot. It was really unstable for me, and you can't ask them for help cause they're all in on the Squareenix cock-sucking
Honestly I doubt having a legit copy would've made my experience any better. It's just a really finnicky software, hates any slight directory changes. I just want a portable version because getting the whole thing set-up sucks and I don't want it permanently installed on my pc either
