Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisishas been surprisingly hard to understand since its announcement. Originally announced for mobile devices in 2021, it was pitched as “another possibility for a remake.” Featuring content fromFinal Fantasy 7as well as the extended “Compilation of” universe, you might naturally thinkEver Crisiswill be a proper “sit-down” RPG. Or, at the very least, something likeOctopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. So isFinal Fantasy 7: Ever Crisisjust a gacha game?
Well, yes,Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisisis a gacha game. Players will have to roll the dice to obtain both weapons and costumes to equip on your team. This set-up may sound familiar to anyone who playedDissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia. Fortunately, this also means you won’t have to roll for your favorite characters. However, you’ll realistically want to use characters that synergize with your weapons the best.
Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisisdoes feature open-ended sections that do resemble playingFinal Fantasy 7proper. However, it’s best to approach this one as aFinal Fantasy 7mobile game and not anotherFinal Fantasy 7remake.
IsFinal Fantasy 7: Ever Crisispay-to-win?
Only time will tell ifEver Crisisis truly pay-to-win. Typically, Square Enix gacha games tend to keep their main story content easy. I’d be surprised if you needed to pay money to enjoy most of the content in the game. It’s typically the optional content that might require the best weapons and teams to clear right away. We’ll only get a real feel for this onceEver Crisisis out for a few months.
Of course, given the cosmetic nature of the gacha, some collectors may find themselves tempted to spend money on their favorite outfits. Always exercise due caution when playing games like this, as no game is worth getting into financial trouble over.
