Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis surprised us, but we are skeptical

To celebrate 25 years of final fantasy 7 (one of the best games ever) a year ago Square held an event to reveal the second part of its remake: Crisis Core – Reunion and a mobile game. This was strange to us, because there was already a Mobile IP Battle Royale, which actually shut down its servers recently, so we found it confusing that the company was again looking to bet in this direction.

The difference is that Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis it would put experimentation aside and return to its RPG roots with the updates Square has made to the franchise of late; Apart from this information, he was silent for a long time. A couple of days ago, at Summer Game Fest, the company reminded us of the project and announced a Closed Beta that will be available soon, but also let us play a demo at its Plays Days stand.

Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis – Reveal Trailer

A new beginning for a classic story

This installment brings together the stories of final fantasy 7, Crisis Core – Reunion, and adds a bit of his own mix to introduce new events to the narrative, which will dig further into Sephiroth’s origin. The premise is good enough to attract fans of these adventures, but it has elements that left us impressed and that go beyond its story.

We have to clarify that the demo that we played only allowed us to advance in one chapter of the original title, so we did not see the new story that they added and how they integrate it with this and core crisisbut Zack Fair is a confirmed character, and the folks at Square Enix emphasized that it’s 3 conflicts in 1.

Conclusion

The remake of final fantasy 7 for PlayStation 4 was the treatment this masterpiece deserved, and Square Enix rocked it. After playing for a while EverCrisis, we think they could have delivered this on time and we would be pleased with the result. On the other hand, and despite this good impression, we believe that there is a reason why the demo has been so short.

Taking Square Enix’s practices into account, we think there is something hidden that will show that it really isn’t free, such as microtransactions, paying for expansions or loot boxes that could ruin the impressions it left us in Play Days. Not to be skeptical, but we shouldn’t be crucified for being cautious either.

On the other hand, we take into account that they did not show parts of Crisis Core – Reunion and above all the new story that they will tell, which will be focused on the villain. Once we see it and see how it fits in with the originals, we might be in for a pleasant surprise. There is nothing left to do but wait to see more information about Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis and the successes or errors that you will be able to commit once it is complete.}
