Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis Will Have Gacha System for Weapons

Along with revealing new details on Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, creative director Tetsuya Nomura also talked more about the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 mobile titles. In an interview with Famitsu (translation by Nibellion), he confirmed that Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis – which remakes the entire compilation – would have free story chapters. There will also be content not present in the original release, though for which property isn’t clear.

Furthermore, you can expect to tackle the story of Final Fantasy 7 across 10 chapters in Ever Crisis. The catch is that a gacha system will be present for weapons (which likely means having to roll for higher rarities, both with in-game and premium currency). It will also “tackle” the story of Final Fantasy 7: The First Soldier, the upcoming battle royale title.

Nomura spoke a bit more about The First Soldier and noted that it was an “attempt” to reach audiences that weren’t close with the Final Fantasy brand. Currently, it’s aiming to provide a “solid experience” and “amazing visuals” for smartphone users. Summons and melee combos have already been confirmed but there will also be a Job system with different skills.

Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis is slated to release next year while Final Fantasy 7: The First Soldier is out this year. Both titles will be coming to iOS and Android.
