Is there a good mod for the Princess Cecilia outfit for Joshua for 1st Chapter? Highly disappointed that Falcom seems to hate peak and they didn't give him the outfit and instead gave it to Kloe.

I think no one has made that.

This is a difficult mod. The big problem is that the existing animations for Joshua would not make a dress move like a dress.

Explanation:

The figure shows the default Joshua model next to the princess model. The spikes with balls on the ends are “bones”. Animations define the position and orientation of bones at given moments. The model meshes (everything shown except the spikes) are split up into triangular faces with vertices (corners). Each vertex has a list of weights that determine how much it moves with each bone. Those dress bones don’t exist in the default Joshua model, so Joshua’s animations will not control them. The princess model, however, was not designed to be used in all the situations that the default model is (like acrobatics), so it likely does not have many animations that would be useful, instead.
