Transform Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Combat with This Exciting New Mod

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the beloved RPG, is now offering gamers a new way to experience its deep combat system. For players who have already completed the game and seek a fresh challenge, a newly released mod provides a novel twist. Released earlier this month, this mod breathes life into the game by adding a new playable character, promising to enhance the traditional gameplay with exciting elements.

Introducing the Playable Rufus Shinra Mod

Created by D3DNieR, the Playable Rufus Shinra mod is now accessible on Nexus Mods. It allows players to control Rufus Shinra, a boss character known for his iconic techniques. Gameplay videos shared by the modder showcase the character’s smooth integration into the game, although there are some technical hiccups. One ability, “Thread Softly,” might cause enemies lacking specific animations to freeze. Despite such minor issues, these mods bring a new dimension to the game by making boss characters playable.

Expanding the Playable Roster

Rufus Shinra isn’t the only boss player can now control in the PC version of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, which was released earlier this year. In April, D3DNier launched a mod that made Turks Rude and Reno playable, with subsequent updates improving their combat skills and adding Elena and Tseng to the roster. The Final Fantasy VII Rebirth combat experience is set to be further enriched by an upcoming Zack gameplay overhaul, expanding his moveset to showcase the might of a 1st Class SOLDIER as demonstrated in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII – Reunion.

Future Prospects and Sales

As the development of the third entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake series progresses, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is available at a discount during the Black Friday 2025 sale on both Steam and PlayStation 5. While the game itself isn’t receiving official new content, mods like these provide thrilling new ways to engage with the game. As for the series’ future, there’s speculation about DLCs or even a full title for the final game, according to remarks made by Director Naoki Hamaguchi at this year’s Tokyo Game Show.
