This Resident Evil 3 mod lets you play as a badass Aerith from Final Fantasy VII

There was once a debate over whether Resident Evil 3, anyway.

The Aerith Gainsborough mod for Resident Evil 3 replaces Jill Valentine with everyone's favourite flower girl, so that you can truly bring the cycle of PlayStation-era remakes of RPG games full circle. Aerith's face comes straight out of the FF7 remake, but she's dressed as a modern STARS officer – just with the traditional tiny red jacket.

You can grab the file over on Nexus Mods, or just the hair, if you want to give Jill a makeover. The mod is still technically in beta, and has a few issues including clipping and rigging problems. Further updates are coming to both squash bugs and introduce some new variants for the character.

For now, though… Aerith's got a gun, and that's enough for me.

1/2

There is still no confirmed PC port for the FF7 remake, but if and when it does launch, I can only hope we get to see Jill and Claire modded in to replace Aerith and Tifa. It's only fair at this point.
