Hello,
I'm Yojimbo_Beta. I'm a modder currently working on a 'rebalanced' mod of Final Fantasy 7, for both PC and *PSOne*. With the release date approaching, I wanted to start promoting it, and sharing information about it with people who I think will be interested.
So what is Rebirth? I'll quote from my ModDb page:
Final Fantasy 7. The perfect game?
Proving popular with countless generations of gamers, despite its age, inspiring fanart, fiction, a series of spinoff games and even a full-budget movie, it's tempting to fit Final Fantasy VII with the title 'Greatest. Game. Ever'.
And I'll agree, it's an awesome game - but, as much as I love FF7, as much I enjoy playing through it over, and over, there's always been a nagging suspicion: could it be... better?
Let's be honest. The battles can get a little too samey, there's little incentive to experiment with materia, and the game can all to easily be bested by simply attacking and spamming Cure-All. We've all heard horror stories about players who have managed to push themselves to the Northern Crater without even grasping the basics of the materia system.
This mod - this rebalance - seeks to address these issues, altering enemy statistics and AI, nerfing overpowered skills whilst promoting others that have been neglected, introducing new tactics, creating cunning and entertaining creatures, and overall making battles far more exciting and engaging.
So, what exactly will the rebirth mod feature? Work is still in progress, and I intent to keep certain features secret until release, so as not to spoil matters, but the mod has the following broad aim in mind: to promote a more strategic mode of gameplay. You won't be able to mash attack to get through REBIRTH. You'll have to keep your wits as sharp as your sword, and think carefully about every choice you make through the entire game.
I think you'll love it.
Here's a YouTube link, showing off some new materia (including Water and Wind materia):

If you have any suggestions, ideas, or feedback, I'd be really interested to hear!
Here's a couple of images for the interested (spoilered for size):
