Final Fantasy 7 Remake mod brings back the polygonal look

A previous mod for Why the hell do they have mouths: a Final Fantasy 7 PC retrospective.)

The Polygonal Players mod by FantasyRaider replaces Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barret, as well as Yuffie and Sonon from the Intermission chapter, in both gameplay and in-engine cutscenes—though the cinematics made with higher-definition models will show the remake's characters. It's super weird seeing Cloud's Lisa Simpson hair and staircase eyebrows alongside the modern-looking characters, and wielding high-def weapons, but entertainingly so.

To install Polygonal Players you'll need to the .pak file from NexusMods and make a ~mods folder inside your FFVIIRemakeIntergrade\End\Content\Paks directory to put it in. It's a whole 6.5MB file for all those polygons.

Polygonal Players would probably combine well with the mod to washboard abs. Check out the dev console unlocker too. Truly, there's something to suit all tastes.

The Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy will continue with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which is scheduled for a winter release next year. Who knows what wonderful things modders will be able to do with that? I mean, once they've finished making Tifa's boobs bigger again, of course.
