About this mod

This mod restores the high quality weapon models and textures from the original (non-Definitive Edition) Steam version of the game.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
This mod is part of a set of mods aimed to bring a full restored experience from OG Dragon Quest XI. For this reason, I highly recommend you to use this mod together with other "PROJECT REBUILD" ones.

"When Square Enix created the Definitive Edition of the game for Nintendo Switch, they reduced the quality of the game's models and textures, such that the game would be playable on the console. However, when porting the Definitive Edition back to PC, they did not restore the high quality assets from the original game, causing the game to be visually inferior to the original, but with extra content. Project Rebuild is a joint effort within the DQXIS modding community to restore much of the detail lost in the Definitive Edition.

Due to the vast quantity of work required to complete Project Rebuild, it is being attempted in small chunks that will each provide a meaningful improvement to the game as a whole." ~

This mod brings weapons' high poly models and textures back from the Original (non-DE) Dragon Quest XI. It must be noted that, in this initial release, whips couldn't be ported since, unlike other weapon models, they are not static meshes but they contain some animations. 

Use this compatibility patch if using the outlines removal mod.

HOW TO INSTALL:
Just drop the content of this mod into your "...\DRAGON QUEST XI S\Game\Content\Paks" folder.
