They didn't create an IRO file to import in the 7th Heaven mod manager. But let us know if it works.
The one you linked is based on the mod "OST Music Remastered by FinalFanTim", which is listed in the thread I mentioned. You'll find it on 7th Heaven, just search through the Browse Catalog tab.

for some reason, the cut-scene where Aerith suggests Cloud cross-dressing doesnt happen for me. i'm assuming maybe one of the 7th heaven mods that im using is affecting this?

Could you share screenshot of your mod list?

► CISSNEI LORE ◄
Spoiler: show
BEFORE CRISIS
更に付け加えると、BCでレジェンドを使いシスネを救出した場合「こう見えてもあなたと同じくらいキャリアは長いのよ」という台詞を言います。そしてレジェンド特別章から彼がタークス入りしたのは[μ]-εγλ 1999/11/10とわかるので、シスネのタークス入りもその辺りの時期の14歳であると予想しています。 from @re_cis on X

"I would also like to add that when you rescue Cissnei using Legend in BC, he says “I may look like this, but my career is just as long as yours." And since we know from the special chapter of Legend that he entered the Turks on 11/10/1999, we expect Cissnei to have entered the Turks around that time, at the age of 14."

Cissnei's Profile
Age: 16 years old (as of 0001 in CC)
Weapon: Shuriken
Voice actor: Asumi Nakata

Turk grown and raised by Shinra. She holds the record for being the youngest person ever to join the Turks. As a child in an orphanage, Shinra discovered her talent and trained her to eventually become a Turk. She is the youngest of the group, but she is a caring person who can't leave anyone in trouble alone. While guarding Eighth Avenue, she meets Zack and is attracted to his humanity.

Quote
"When I was a kid, I always wanted to have wings."​
(Eighth Avenue: looking over the wings of a Genesis copy)
→ The words "I wished for wings of freedom"
Reveal the hardships of her childhood.
"They don’t symbolize monsters.​"

A girl with a complicated upbringing. Unlike Reno and Rude, Cissnei is a member of a separate unit of the Turks. A few Turks members know about this unit, and only those who have undergone special training belong to it. Cissnei, in particular, has been educated as a gifted person in order to devote her entire life to the Turks, and has been taught that everyone other than herself is an enemy. However, she is beginning to understand the importance of human bonds through her interactions with her friends and Zack.

Quote
"Calling Aerith?​"
← She showed off her swimsuit at the Costa del Sol.
Sporty is what she is.
Cissnei: "Before now, I had never even thought of people celebrating anything I did…​"
↑ As she spent more time with Zack, she gradually began to tell him about her upbringing, where she was raised by Shinra and underwent special training
→ Is she helping Zack as a friend or because of her feelings as a woman?
"I'll give you 10 minutes. After that, I return to the Turks."

LINK TO FFVII SERIES

An elite warrior who joins at the end of the BC story as part of the 11 main characters (player Turks), the one who is said to be "Shuriken (woman)" is Cissnei. However, she has been involved in the main part of "BC" from the end of October, [ν] -εуλ 0006 at the end of the story. Until then, she has been working in secret as a separate team consisting of a handful of elite members within Turks. As of April 0001, when CC first appeared, she is a special person who is not well known to the general Turks.

FFVII REBIRTH
Cissnei's Profile
ID: GAI153
Age: 22 years old (as of 0007 in FF7RB)
Height: 163cm
Blood Type: A
Weapon: Shuriken
Voice actor: Kayli Mills

-Leader of the Gongaga Youth Coalition.
-She worked with Shinra in the past, with the Turks, and was friends with Zack, and she is watching over his hometown and his parents in his absence.
-She initially visited Gongaga after the reactor exploded as part of the relief effort, then ended up calling the village her home. Her past is shrouded in mystery, but her knack for both combat and leadership suggests she is no amateur.  She employs those fighting skills while fending off fiends that have gone wild due to mako exposure.
-Although not directly stated, it is subtly implied that Cissnei has seen both Cait Sith and Cloud before.
-It's specified that she can see Black Whispers (weird "black wisps".)

FF8 MUST INSTALL MODS ► COMPENDIUM ◄ [2025]
(click here for FF7)

Square Enix, previously Squaresoft, released Final Fantasy VIII (JP) for the Sony PlayStation 1 on 11 February 1999 (PC: 2000; PC Steam: 2013.)
In its first decade, FFVIII sold more than 9 million copies worldwide. FFVIII greatly improves on its predecessor, with stunning full-motion video, pre-rendered 3D backgrounds, 3D graphics, and better audio quality. A great contributor to the overall Final Fantasy franchise which in 2025 has reached a new milestone, surpassing 200 million units sold globally. This solidifies the franchise position among the best-selling video game IPs of all time.

The universe of mods is vast and ever-expanding. The "campus" or origin of the growing modding scene can be traced back to the creation of Qhimm's website and forum in 1999, too many are part of the endless "wall of fame": Qhimm, Ficedula, Alhexx, Aali, Iros and so on; the dedication and perseverance of the community, together with the constant evolution of hardware and software, has allowed for high level results. With the advent of a new advanced driver called FFNx, created by TrueOdin in late 2020, there have been real generational leaps. The well-known FFNx team is engaged in assiduous efforts behind the scenes, they've got a lot of new features and bug fixes coming your way. The ultimate mod manager Junction VIII (J8) is released too. You're in for a treat!
What?! A full voice acting mod? Hell, yeah! Tsunamods is thrilled to bring you a taste of it with the demo. The modding community is incredible! Thanks to all the modders who contribute to the scene. See the threads below for mod authors. Let's get straight to it with the new list of must-install mods for J8.

Thanks Eva for testing out. As of now, you can additionally download "60 FPS Animations for ChaOS" mod which provides 60 FPS Sephiroth fix for the ChaOS mod.
 
Just a heads-up: the option Resized Models of ChaOS is still in BETA, so there might be a few bugs here and there; it isn't meant to be used with other character model mods. It'd be great if you could collect all the issues and report them in the ChaOS thread on Qhimm or Discord so the author can take a look. But for now, I'd say it's probably best to avoid using resized.

There is a ton of work behind one single feature. You can check an extended explanation of NTSC-J here under Game Driver Settings. Also, make sure your monitor settings are set to match NTSC-J mode.

Yes, The Reunion has those settings modified, brightness, red, green, blue corrections etc. thru psx.post file, but IMHO too bright and some color might be a bit off.

Long story short: You can get the same result playing with 7H & FFNx by installing ReShade and enabling CRT_Royale.

► WEAPON DIMENSION MODE ◄


A new mission that appeared after the distribution of all chapters. The storyline takes place after the main story of “BC FFVII”. However, it is not necessary to clear all chapters. To play, you need to download the "Extra App" from the official website. WEAPON was defeated once, but resurrected again from a different space and started attacking the player again. The name was also changed from WEAPON Mode to WEAPON Dimension Mode. With the advent of this mode, the most difficult rescue mission has now been added.

-WEAPON D Mode
Fight against Jade WEAPON in a nationwide special mission. The player is assigned to six areas based on the location information of the mobile phone. WEAPONS appear in the sky above each area, so attack and provide materia support. When the towers in each area reach their maximum level, they can be used to provide materia support to other areas.
"The light barrier that was preventing the attack on the Jade Weapon has changed! The time for a direct confrontation looms."
WEAPON Dimension Mode. Abbreviated as Weapon D mode due to mobile phone character limits.
A mode (extra app) that uses location data to fight Jade Weapon in different areas of the Japanese archipelago.
If the Extra app is activated after Weapon is defeated, it switches to the BC app, RP can be obtained depending on the damage inflicted on the WEAPON, the number of clusters destroyed and the number of materia support provided.

-WEAPON Radar
You can view Weapon's location, your own battle record and information on each region, as well as set up attack notification emails.
If a WEAPON is in your area, select Battle to start a cluster fight. When the WEAPONis not in your area, you can use materia support and summon magic when the gauge is full. When WEAPON is hidden (when Weapon's HP is depleting fast), you can neither battle nor provide cover.
Incidentally, as battles are conducted via the BC application, you will receive mail without regard even when you are in the middle of a battle.

In WEAPON Mode, players all over the Japanese network cooperate to bring down Jade WEAPON by engaging it in battle and wearing down its HP. Depending on the player's physical location, they will battle Jade WEAPON in a corresponding location on Gaia:

Midgar - Tokyo
Junon - Kanto (excluding Tokyo)
Costa Del Sol - Southern Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu
Cosmo Canyon - Central Honshu
Wutai - Kinki Region (Osaka and Kyoto)
Icicle Lodge - Northern Honshu and Hokkaido

-Rescue missions
Rescue Turks who have been defeated and captured in a different space. Rescue request mail can be accepted. The map is different from a normal rescue mission, and the companions are not in prison, but in a black hole. The biggest enemies are your companions after you join them, and you will have to use a series of magic attacks for them to run into the skells on their own. Although there are recovery points, it is difficult to get to them unless you are at a very high LV, even if you load up on items to the maximum extent.

Shampignon this is awesome! How can we play this on 7th Heaven?
The first screen is too sharp or highlights the realistic side too much. Just a constructive feedback and my humble opinion.

Will you explore more of unseen Midgar sectors in future? Not even SE is going to do that.
Would be possible to add a new Summon?
