Summary
A newFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthmod for the PC version of the game gives players a way to change Cloud’s outfit into the one worn for his debut inKingdom Hearts, which includes a red cape, a black wing, and a bandage-wrapped Buster Sword. TheFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthmod is now available for PC users to download.
Cloud’s appearance inKingdom Heartswas reminiscent of Vincent Valentine, andhis iconic Buster Swordwas wrapped in bandages from the hilt to the tip. Although otherFinal Fantasyfranchise characters like Squall acted as mentors to Sora during his first quest as a Keyblade wielder, Cloud’s first cameo in the series was a slightly antagonistic one. While under the employ of Hades from Disney’sHercules, Cloud was a boss in the Olympus Colosseum, in both the main story and optional encounters. InKingdom Hearts 2, Cloud’s outfit was changed to hisFinal Fantasy 7: Advent Childrenattire.
Nearly a month afterFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s strong launch on PC, a cosmetic mod that changes Cloud’s outfit has started to make the rounds. The Cloud Kingdom Hearts Outfit mod isnow available on NexusModsfor PC players to download and use as they wish. The mod was created and uploaded by a user named ColossalCake and requires a mod called “Loveless Outfits - Individual” by Ninjagrime to work correctly.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Mod Gives Cloud His Kingdom Hearts Outfit
ColossalCake said that the bandages around Cloud’s Buster Sword were adapted to the top of the blade, but also stated the sword’s position on Cloud’s back is completely vertical compared to the right-side tilt that it usually has inFinal Fantasy 7 RemakeandRebirth. Ergo, in some cutscenes, Cloud will miss grabbing his sword. However, the Buster Sword will snap into Cloud’s grip during combat or at any point that it isn’t attached to his back.
The Cloud Kingdom Hearts Outfit mod also has two variants that come with and without the black wing. Additionally, ColossalCake stated that the meshes and textures for Cloud’sKingdom Heartsoutfit were taken fromthe spin-off gameDissidia Final Fantasy NT. In the 2018 3D fighter, Cloud’sKingdom Heartsoutfit was his second alternate costume, dubbed the Sky-Soarer outfit.
AlthoughFinal Fantasycharacters have taken a backseat in laterKingdom Heartstitles, fans have expressedhope that Square Enix will focus on them inKingdom Hearts 4. Only time will tell if Cloud or otherFinal Fantasyheroes will appear in futureKingdom Hearts games.
