8 Cloud Kingdom Hearts Outfit

Nexus Mods user ColossalCake has recreated Cloud’s outfit from the first Kingdom Hearts game perfectly in this mod. In Kingdom Hearts 1, Cloud dons a slightly different look than what is seen in his Final Fantasy appearances. He sports a long red scarf that covers his face, one black wing on his back, and there are bandages wrapped around his sword. It’s a unique look that is definitively associated with the Kingdom Hearts game, and it can be brought to life in Rebirth with this mod.

This is a mod that is also available to download for Final Fantasy 7 Remake, so players can choose to dress Cloud in this outfit in both games if they want to.

The mod replaces the Buster Sword with the sleeker Murasame sword that Cloud uses in the Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis mobile game. Though only offering a cosmetic change, fans of Ever Crisis and the Murasame lightning sword are sure to enjoy swapping out Cloud’s regular weapon with this mod.

6 Cloud4K Upscaled Textures

Over 11,000 Downloads

For those looking to make Cloud a little more defined in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, this mod is the perfect choice. As the name suggests, the Cloud4K Upscaled Textures mod improves the textures of Cloud’s skin and outfits, upscaling them to an impressive 4K quality.

The Cloud Saber Outfit and Sword mod is inspired by the Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis mobile game. It changes Cloud’s standard outfit to the Saber-style outfit that he dons in Ever Crisis. Not only does the mod change his clothes, but it also switches his Buster Sword model.

This is another mod that is well suited for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players who are also fans of Ever Crisis. That being said, it is also a great mod for those who want to dress Cloud in something a little different. The cool design of the Saber outfit and sword make for a fun change to his default model.
