It’s mostly relegated to what they note as “small details,” and some only work with DX11, but these corrections make or break the mood in a few areas. So, look at the flowers (it starts around the 2:20 mark).Īmong the port’s more glaring visual issues were those wonky skyboxes, with some worse than others, but the mod should fix those too. “Ugly orange flower replaced,” has gotta be my favorite feature, but I’m down bad for the vanilla version of the area, and this makes it a million times better. In the mod’s demo footage, there’s an entirely reworked version of Aerith’s Garden, and that’s enough to compel me into queuing up a download. The Nexus Mods rundown notes “all textures below 2K have been upscaled to twice their original size,” and that’s an improvement that shines the most when snapping screenshots or in a cutscene. There’s been a few scenes where things managed to look worse on PC than on console, and that’s no good when I’m trying to take screenshots of Aerith and Tifa.Īs someone who spends more time in FFVIIR‘s photo mode than bullying enemy mobs, massive projects like this are a dream. There’s a good Digital Foundry breakdown on some of its most frustrating stumbles, like dynamic resolution scaling and framerate issues, but some of my personal biggest gripes are with texture weirdness. While FFVIIR on PC is undoubtedly an overall upgrade from my original experience on PS4, it’s lacking when compared to its next-gen console counterpart on PS5.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is beautiful, but what if I could make it… more beautiful? There’s a rather impressive mod for that with the release of Altezein’s FFVIIR HD Project, upscaling more than 20,000 textures and fixing some of the RPG’s uglier pain points found in the PC port.
