Author's Comments:

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

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:
