Final Fantasy VII: Lifestream Edition is an expansive gameplay and graphics mod with many new features, including some not seen anywhere else. It's still in development but is progressing steadily.

UI Enhancements

Lifestream Edition requires the ESUI (and all credit goes to Chrysalis, Bonez, DLPB, Fewtch, and the rest of its creators for all their hard work) but also provides additional options on top of it such as more font choices, the ability to choose materia and slot types independently of each other, extra cursor and UI border choices, the ability to mix and match remake and non-remake UI elements, new start and credit screens, and more. Combined with the ESUI, you'll be able to make your FF7 experience truly your own. Any other options from the ESUI, such as the different battle views, etc. can still be set there and should work with Lifestream Edition.

If you use the ESUI's "No Battle Boxes" option, make sure to use one of the single-column battle views as well to avoid overlapping graphics when choosing spells.

All start and game over screens have both 4:3 and 16:9 versions, with the appropriate ones being loaded automatically. Credit screens are only in 4:3 because there's no support in FFNx for 16:9 ones at this time.

New Font Styles

In addition to the original bright and gradient ESUI fonts done by Chrysalis, I've added three new options - Lifestream Bright, Lifestream Gradient, and an improved remake font with a drop shadow for better visibility.

Cursors, Borders, Gauges, and Timer

You can now choose between the ESUI finger and sword cursors or the remake arrow pointer. Also, there are several choices for the menu borders - blue, classic gray, or remake style with star shapes on the corners. If you want to use the ones included with the ESUI itself, that's also an option by making sure "No change" is selected and the ESUI is active under Lifestream Edition in 7H. This goes for some of the other UI elements as well, such as the timer - you can use the remake style included in LE or the classic style that comes with the ESUI. You can also choose either the standard or remake style for the various menu gauges.
