"Get a Sneak Peek of Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis with Our Hands-On Preview"

Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, a gacha game that aims to streamline the Final Fantasy VII compilation, is shaping up to be well-designed but struggles to deliver on its original pitch. The game covers different gameplay elements and genres from the Final Fantasy VII series, including turn-based combat, third-person shooting, and cutscenes. The closed beta test revealed a new narrative called The First Soldier, featuring a young Sephiroth. Combat combines elements from the original Final Fantasy VII and FF7 Remake, with the addition of sigil and shift mechanics. However, the menu interface is cumbersome, and the lack of controller support is a major drawback. Overall, Ever Crisis is a solid gacha game but falls short of providing a comprehensive overview of the Final Fantasy VII series.
