Dedicated Modder Upscales Thousands Of Assets For Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Final Fantasy 7 Remake may not have had the best of starts on PC, coming out with reviews saying how it was poorly optimised for the platform, but it has since gone from strength to strength. It has inspired especially the modding community with an array of useful, creative, quirky, sexy, and absurd mods now available for the Square Enix remake of its classic RPG.
One of these mods is truly a work of dedication as a single modder has upscaled more than 20,000 textures for the game. Altezein has updated his mod, which upscales textures for environments, characters, enemies, objects, weapons, and more.

"Differences can be seen in standard gameplay, but are even more evident in closeups, cutscenes and photo mode". Those interested can check out what the mod does in the below video.
It is a major mod that must've required hours of work, and a friend of the modder called attention to Altezein's dedication. "He has basically upscaled thousands of low res textures and assets of Final Fantasy 7 Remake which to be honest, was pretty much needed in certain parts of the game. I have been giving him a lot of feedback as well, finding issues and bad textures too".
