This mod changes the outfit worn by Cloud to his Advent Children Outfit. This is a purely aesthetic change but one that many fans of the game seem to love. The Cloud Advent Children outfit has appeared in many Final Fantasy games throughout the past and has been known to be Cloud's alternate outfit.

Although this might just be a simple change, it does make Cloud look even cooler, especially in the fighting sequences. This mod does come with certain issues of its own though, as the physics of Cloud's body doesn't always match up with his new outfit.

8 Dynamic Resolution Disabler

The Dynamic Resolution Disabler mod completely stops your game from using dynamic resolution without having any negative effects on its performance. Final Fantasy 7 Remake enables dynamic resolution based on your FPS cap, but this mod allows you to bypass this and completely stop the game from using it at all.

Dynamic Resolution is generally disliked by most gamers, and many games allow you an in-built option to disable it, but that is not the case with Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

This mod comes with a lot of specific instructions, which can be found in the download link given above. Make sure to take a look at them before you go on to download and install the mod.

6 Purple Dress Tifa

As the name of this mod suggests, Purple Dress Tifa puts Tifa in her iconic purple dress throughout the whole game. This mod does make for some funny situations where Tifa looks very out of place as she keeps wearing this dress throughout serious cutscenes and battles, but that hasn't stopped her fans from downloading this mod over 100,000 times.

5 Stuttering Fix - DXVK Method

This is one of the more useful mods for Final Fantasy 7 Remake as it fixes a lot of the stuttering and frame pacing issues of the game. Better optimization for any game is always great, and this mod does a good job of improving your frame rate without having any negative effects.

This is a popular mod that has also been created for other popular games, such as Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Days Gone, and has fixed most of the stuttering issues in these games as well.

3 FFVIIHook - INI And Dev Console Unlocker

• Creator: emoose
• Download This Mod Here!

This mod allows you to access the developer console and also gives you access to console commands. This can allow you to make changes within the game, such as changing its resolution to make it more suitable for your PC.

Although FFVIIHook is an incredibly useful mod, it doesn't seem to work anymore with the latest version of the game, and you will have to downgrade to the 1.001 version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake if you want to use this mod.

All you need to do to open up the Dev Console is press the Tilda (`) key while you are in-game. You will then be able to make all the changes you want that you wouldn't be able to with the vanilla version of the game.

2 Aggressive Companions

• Creator: gladias9
• Download This Mod Here!

This is perhaps the most helpful mod on this list in terms of gameplay, as it makes the NPC companions in the game much more active and helpful in battles. You won't have to worry too much about your companions just standing at the back while you do all the work as they will religiously back you up in any fight you take.

This mod makes the game much easier to play and also makes it feel more realistic, which is the reason for its popularity within the community.

1 Advent ReShade - HDR FX

• Creator: Vanguard1776
• Download This Mod Here!

Final Fantasy 7 Remake already looks visually great, and the Advent ReShade mod makes it even better. This mod adds a next-generation Reshade effect to the game with HDR lighting effects. This should be a must-try mod for all fans of the game as it truly makes it look spectacular, and you will struggle to go back to the normal game after playing with this mod.

Another great thing about the Advent ReShade mod is that it doesn't have too much impact on your performance and works well on most PCs that can run the game.
