Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis debuts new trailer, closed beta in Summer 2023
Originally expected to launch this year, Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, will now be holding a closed beta test in Summer 2023. A new trailer has been launched, which you can view below. A smartphone game that spans the Final Fantasy VII compilation, it features a uniform top-down style with super deformed characters on static backgrounds, not too dissimilar from the original game. Combat is also a turn-based, with various abilities consuming sections of a charging ATB meter. Scenarios from Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII are included, as we see Zack Fair battle Ifrit in Wutai alongside scenes from the original Final Fantasy VII. Concluding the trailer is a shot of a young Sephiroth, hinting there will be additional scenarios we haven't seen before that feature various character perspectives not previously seen. Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is currently announced for iOS and Android devices.

Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion Review
The original Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII is a game I remember most fondly. Not only because of my love for Final Fantasy VII and its world as a whole, but because it represented a turning point of sorts in the way that I consumed games. Crisis Core was one of the first I was able to import from Japan thanks in part to the delay between the Western release, and the emergence of easier ways to obtain said titles overseas. Of course, times have changed since then and the era of simultaneous worldwide releases is forever upon us, but that wasn’t always the case. So armed with my copy of Crisis Core in Japanese, my PSP would become its exclusive home for a long time as I played and played and played through it some more. By the time the English version did roll around, I’d completed Crisis Core several times over and there really wasn’t any specific need for me to dive back in again. There wasn’t anything specifically different about the game that warranted a sixth or seventh go at it. Until now. Fast forward 15 years (yes, that’s fifteen whole years) since the original PSP release and Square

Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion Hands-on Impressions
The turnaround time from announcement to the fast-approaching release date for Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion is something that’s really impressed me. When it was announced, Square Enix promised a tentative “Winter” date, which as we know can mean anything as long as it drops before March 21. Imagine my surprise when it was then further revealed we’d be returning to the adventures of Zack much sooner than expected. You see, Crisis Core’s upcoming remaster is just weeks away at this point. With a December release in tow, Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion promises to be many things – the likes of which include being “more than a remaster” with upgraded visuals across the board and a retooled battle system. As for what that means in actual practice? Well, I was given a go at the full retail release recently to find out. Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion opens very much the same as the PSP original – you get the CGI cutscene fielded by then Visual Works, along with the introduction of protagonist Zack, who is as ridiculous as ever. It’s important to note that these scenes remain unchanged – in fact, they’ve gone and used the original

Crisis Core Reunion details more about the Turks, materia, and summons
In the latest round of information, Square Enix highlights more characters and unique gameplay features found in Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion, a "high effort" remaster of the original 2007 PlayStation Portable game. This prequel, set five years before the events of the PlayStation classic features aspiring SOLDIER candidate Zack Fair, and his journey into uncovering the Shinra Corporations dark truths. Along the way he'll meet members of the Turks, a shadowy organization that carries out Shinra's dirty work in secret — and include Reno and Rude amongst others. Hojo is an unhinged scientist leading the Jenova project, responsible for the creation of the superhuman abilities SOLDIER members receive. Side missions are also aplenty in Crisis Core Reunion, as in the original, and you can embark on them to acquire items and materia outside of the main story path. Materia comes in several forms, including those that allow Zack to cast magic spells and others that let him use powerful abilities. Said materia can also be combined to create stronger iterations, or new types entirely. The DMW (or Digital Mind Wave) mechanic appears as an ongoing 'slot machine' with numeric values attached to characters Zack has encountered on his journey. At

Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier shuts down January 11, 2023
Mobile battle royale Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier is set to close its doors on January 11, 2023, Square Enix announced today. The game will have run for just over a year, having originally launched worldwide on November 17, 2021, when it closes that day at 2:00AM EST. "Despite all our efforts to bring you regular updates with fresh and exciting content, we haven't been able to deliver the experience that we were hoping to, and that you all deserve, so we have made the extremely tough decision to end service," says a notice on the official website. Whilst there is less than three months until the service ends, the development team does promise to continue to make updates during this time for those looking to play until the very end. Alongside this announcement, Square Enix removed the ability to purchase Shinra Credits with real currency. Those with existing credits can still spend them before the game closes in January. Additionally, a Halloween event is on between now and November 1. Check out the teaser for it below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiSulDdL-98

Crisis Core Reunion shares more info about characters and combat
Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion, a remaster of the original PSP Final Fantasy VII spinoff, is set to release on December 13th for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Steam. Today, Square Enix debuted a new trailer during the latest Nintendo Direct and shared a new blog that highlights some of the characters you'll meet and systems you'll play with. Being a prequel to the original Final Fantasy VII, the story follows Zack Fair as he aims for the highest ranks of SOLDIER, a military force employed by the nefarious Shinra Electric Power Company. During his rise, he tumbles into a spider's web of controversies involving its most elite members, making his quest to become a hero all the more perilous. The game uses a unique system called the Digital Mind Wave that is a passive force in combat, depicted similarly to a slot machine. This device responds to Zack's emotions, driven by the people he meets on his journey, affecting the buffs bestowed during combat and even special abilities he can deploy. Check out some of the new information Square Enix had to share: What is CRISIS CORE about? Seven years before the events of FINAL FANTASY
