About this mod
A mod that censors vast majority of the English profanity spoken by characters in the game.

Description
Uses the wonderful, game-changing open source tool Monkeyplug: It scans a given audio/video file looking for curse words to filter using the automatic speech recognition tool known as Whisper (with surprising accuracy) and censors whatever profanity it detects with a low-pitch beep. Don't expect absolute perfection yet but I'm confident the vast majority of the game's speech has been covered. A task like this would have been so utterly miserable—borderline impossible—without tools like these.
Limitations and Reports
Due to how this software currently works, it cannot be expected to hit every instance of a swear word and only works for the English language. Just like we humans, it can be thrown off by slang/unique ways of speaking, heavy accents, or even entirely different languages (and music is another beast entirely.) It has to literally listen to each file and discern what is being said, comparing each word to a list of cuss words it has been given. And while thankfully most voice files have very clean and high quality audio, I have no doubt there are still some strays left in the wild.
Thus, If you encounter one of those uncaught vulgarities, I would very much appreciate a report on it so I can take care of it manually and refine my search methods. Any details you can give, such as:
- A rough quote of what was said
- The character that said it
- The quest you may have been on
- etc.
...Can help me narrow it down and take care of it quicker.
How to Install
Navigate to the FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH install folder, where ff7rebirth.exe is located, then open the ProfaneAudioCensor.zip file and drag the End folder inside of it into the same folder as ff7rebirth.exe.
When updating to future versions of the mod, repeat the same steps and overwrite any files when asked.
Compatibility
Should remain compatible with any other mod or version of the game so long as they don't alter the same voice files.
