Proceeding the FF7R PS4 Themes, FFVII Combat Tips, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Save Editor and his previous KH3 PS4 Tool this weekend PlayStation 4 developer @iddaemon made available a Final Fantasy 7 Remake PS4 Tool that supports static and skeletal models, maps, textures noting that textures will be auto-assigned if you extract them before loading the map.

If asset file contains static or skeletal mesh, in will be exported to ASCII. Raw data will also be saved in "staticmesh.raw" & "skeletalmesh.raw" folders for later use in map extraction.
If asset file contains a material, it will export material info in a text file, and create "material.db" file with information for later use in map extraction. If "material.db" file already exists next to the tool, it will be updated with newly found materials.
If asset file contains a blueprint, it will create "blueprint.db" file with information for later use in map extraction. If "blueprint.db" file already exists next to the tool, it will be updated with newly found blueprints.
