All this mod does is remove Clive's long cape from the daily look, without having any other effect on the Burnt Black outfit. Moreover, this is a beginner-friendly mod that makes very few changes to your gameplay.
Basic Difficulty

With quick kills on bosses, fans of this game now hope to face more challenging contenders. Thankfully, there's a mod to take care of that.
Mod creator gladias9 has created a solution with the Basic Difficulty mod. Thanks to it, the enemies deal more damage and gain more attacking power. By surging the difficulty level, you can enjoy the boss fights and mob attacks to the fullest.
So, if you want your game to have more challenging quests, the Basic Difficulty Mod is for you.
Ifrit’s eyes on Clive v1.0

Fortunately, tenshiken1 has understood this demand and has curated the Ifrit's eyes on Clive v1.0 mod. Using this, you can switch out Clive's regular humanoid eyes with Ifrit's fiery glowing eyes. After using the mod, Ifrit's eyes become a permanent feature of Clive, staying constant during his cutscenes, combats, and adventures.
Reduced Skill Cooldowns

You can either go for the three-second cooldown to spam critical skills. Or, you can opt for the 50-second cooldown mod mode to make the game feel more challenging.
