Modder S3ik3n has released a modification for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth that allows you to explore the game’s world from a first-person perspective. This groundbreaking mod brings a fresh and immersive experience to the beloved game, letting players see the world of FF7 Rebirth through the eyes of their characters.
Dynamic Camera Transition
It’s important to note that during battles, the camera automatically switches to standard mode. This is a logical decision given FF7 Rebirth’s hybrid combat system, which combines elements of turn-based and action battles with the ability to control three characters. This seamless transition ensures that players can enjoy the first-person exploration without compromising the dynamic combat experience.
Specialized Camera Angles
According to the developer, some game chapters use special camera angles. At the moment, only scenes in cities, open locations, and when riding chocobos have been changed. In certain scenarios or at later levels, the game may return to a third-person view, maintaining the game’s narrative and visual integrity.
Exploration and Challenges
When using the mod, treasure notifications no longer appear while riding a chocobo, requiring more attention to the surroundings. For those who find this inconvenient, an alternative version has been created that preserves the standard view while riding. This adds an extra layer of challenge and engagement to the exploration aspect of the game.
Enhancing Visuals
The mod is great for exploring the world, but it also highlights one of FF7 Rebirth’s biggest problems: low texture resolution. Even with the PC enhancements, the game suffers from this shortcoming. The developer recommends using the mod with the 4K Texture Pack, which improves about 1,300 environment textures. This combination provides a visually stunning experience, allowing players to fully appreciate the intricate details of the game’s world.
How to Get the Mod
