[FFXIV] Cloud-Inspired Dark Knight Remake | Full VFX Overhaul

Cloud for Dark Knight is finally real.

After the Samurai Cloud mod released, many asked if a Dark Knight version would ever happen.
I heard you.

This is a Cloud-inspired Dark Knight mod for FFXIV, featuring a full VFX and animation rebuild.

While reworking the visuals and animations, I had a bold idea:
What if you could fight alongside allies from FFVII, just like a Trust party in FFXIV?
After working through many technical challenges, I finally made it real.

I hope you enjoy this project.
