Here's the thread - it contains step by step instructions. It lets you preview and choose all the mods you want to use in your game after a fresh install of either the new FFVII or the original 1998 one. There's a lot I'm not covering here (I just wouldn't be able to), this is why I think it needs its own article series. You can break the HP and MP limits too etc. The vast majority of modders are purists that just want to give the game a face lift.ĮDIT: And there are also various difficulty mods, which are nice. IMO if you're a purist, play the PS version, if you want a bit more, play the PC version. The point I'm making is, there's a shit tonne of stuff to improve the game. There's even a proper Aerith resurrection mod so the game doesn't crash if you put her in your party in places she's not supposed to be. This is time consuming and difficult, but there are active projects that use this - including adding some of the deleted stuff/ scenes that are readable in Shademp's unused text series.

Makoureactor, the script editor Shademp uses for various things, actually allows you to add full scenes, new items, bosses, scenarios etc into the game. Anything from the name of potion to the way enemies respond when you attack them can be edited with a simple program. There are also hundreds of tools available for you to change things like EXP, Strength of enemies, names of enemies, names of weapons, enemy AI, spells - names of anything, and any text anywhere in the game. There are also a million other mods - just about everything in the game is now moddable, from avatars to the text. It's a shame, because they looked amazing in FF7, especially in battles. It's still possible to do this yourself but it was banned on the modding forums due to the illegality of it. The best phase was when Crisis Core and Dissidia came out - all the character models were being ripped from Dissidia, CC, Dirge, Kingdom Hearts and put into the game. There are hundreds of different model types to choose from now - AC Cloud, etc. There is a mod that has all the lego characters replaced with either fan made or battle models. And the obvious things like you can pick your own music to replace in game music (I tend to go for orchestral where possible) and the far too-often focused on model replacements.
