Cloud Strife is one of the most recognizable video game protagonists, playing a huge part in the large and intricate story of the Final Fantasy 7 compilation series. His influence on the series and gaming as a whole is undeniable, so it’s no surprise that there are plenty of Final Fantasy 7 Remake mods available that revolve solely around him.

Most of the mods for Cloud–and the other characters in the game–are cosmetic, focusing on changing different aspects of his appearance, such as eye and hair color or the style of his outfit. Some mods make changes to Cloud’s gameplay mechanics, but most of these mod types focus on multiple characters rather than just Cloud himself. For those looking to spice up their playthrough, here are some of the best Cloud mods for Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

For those who like the idea of a villainous Cloud, the Cloud Sephiroth Outfit mod is a great option. It gives Cloud the outfit of Sephiroth, the big bad in Final Fantasy 7 and one of the most iconic video game villains of all time.

There isn’t much more to the mod than that, but it’s still pretty fun to play around with the idea of an evil version of Cloud, especially since Rebirth touches on it in a few significant scenes.

The Cloud Hyper HD Texture Pack mod increases the quality of Cloud’s visuals significantly, creating crisper and clearer textures. The mod overhauls the textures of Cloud’s standard outfit and remasters them in 8k resolution.

This results in a huge difference regarding Cloud’s look, making all the little details in his clothing come to life even more so. The handcrafted nature of the mod also makes it particularly impressive to behold.

One of the more memorable moments in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake is when Cloud goes undercover, dressed as a woman, while trying to get up close and personal with Don Corneo, the head of the organized crime syndicate in Midgar. There are three different dresses that Cloud can wear, and the player's choices in side missions will be the deciding factor as to which one he dons. That said, one of the more elegant dresses is a lavender ball gown with black trims. This mod allows players to dress Cloud in that lavender gown for the whole game.

Cloud looks surprisingly stunning in the outfit, so why not let him be a fancy princess for an extended period? This mod is truly a must for those who wished the dress-up segments lasted a little longer.

The Lv.99 Mod applies to both Cloud and his companions in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. It lets players rank up past the maximum level 50, allowing them to level up all the way to level 99. Parameter limits can also be broken, such as limits on spirit and defense levels. This can make gameplay and combat a little too easy, but other mods can be used to balance things out for those who still want to be challenged.

An optional file is also included in the mod that gives players the chance to add other features, such as a mod including enemies that are also level 99 in Hard Mode or a mod that removes the red low HP screen warning.

Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis is a mobile gacha game that retells events from Final Fantasy 7 and all canon media within the Final Fantasy 7 compilation. Released in September 2023, it had around 7 million downloads by November of the same year. It’s safe to say that it’s relatively popular, so it isn’t surprising that there are mods that dress the characters of Remake in their outfits from Ever Crisis.

This mod replaces Cloud’s regular outfit with the one that he wears in the mobile game. For those who enjoy both the remake and the Ever Crisis, this mod allows them to create their own mini-crossover.

Cloud appears in the popular Kingdom Hearts game series, which is a crossover between Disney and Final Fantasy. He acts as a supporting character in Kingdom Hearts and features in several games.

His most distinctive look during his time in Kingdom Hearts is his attire from the first entry, which includes a red scarf/cape that covers the lower half of his face, a black wing located on his back, and bandages tied around his sword. This mod recreates the Kingdom Hearts 1 look in Remake perfectly, creating a style for Cloud that both Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts fans alike can enjoy.
