Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis is “coming soon” to PC through Steam
Square Enix’s mobile hit, Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis, has been listed on Steam
Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis launched on iOS and Android on September 7th. The game retells key events within the Final Fantasy 7 universe and features its own unique storyline. This original story focuses on Sephiroph’s past, and is based on the “The First Soldier”. Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier was a free-to-play mobile battle-royale game that was shut down in January 2023.
PC gamers are already able to play Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis though Android emulation. That said, the release of a native PC version of the game will make the title a lot more accessible to gamers on the platform.
Heavy Monetisation
While increased access to this new Final Fantasy game is a good thing, the “gacha” status of this game means that gamers can expect heavy monetisation. Reviews for Ever Crisis claim that Square Enix is especially heavy-handed with microtransactions in this game.
In Ever Crisis, players are expected to grind for items and enhancements or pay for them. Stamina, which is required for missions, can also run out and requires either time to refill or payment for a refill. This game will either cost players a lot of time, or a lot of money. This is hugely disappointing for story-focused Final Fantasy fans, who don’t want to grind or pay though the noise for their latest fix of FFVII.
