Ripping the models from Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core is fairly straight forward, Noesis will do all the hard work for you. , I think this game is one of the easiest games to extract models from. It comes with everything, so don't sweat it.

Step 3: Finding the models

Once all the files have been exported, close the popup window and click on the little "+" icon next the "USRDIR" folder on the left. Now you will see a new folder, "discimg_files", click on the little "+" icon again and click on the folder titled "models". Now a long list of models will show up.

Step 4: Exporting the model

Right-Click on an .FF7CCMODEL and select "export". Remember the name of this model. In the popup window, select "Flip UV's". This is done because Noesis has a tendancy to flip the UV's itself when exporting as an .OBJ file. This will extract .OBJ Models and .PNG textures

Step 5: Moving the files to their own folder

Left-Click "OK" and close the popup. Close Noesis and then open the directory where you FF7CCMODEL files are. Navigate the file you exported and there will be an .OBJ. Left-Click that file, and located the .PNG files and Left-Click them. Press "CTRL-X" or Right-Click and select "Cut". Go into the previous folder and press "CTRL-V" or Right-Click and select "Paste".
