Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis was one of our most anticipated Android games in 2023. The Final Fantasy franchise has a history of delivering some top-notch stories that can be loaded onto any favorite Android gaming phone. Now, with Ever Crisis available as a free-to-play mobile and PC title, you can finally play through the entire Final Fantasy VII compilation.

I just played Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis and am disgusted by its overt pay-to-win monetization

However, this expansive gacha game neatly ties together the entire Final Fantasy VII story

Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is the latest Final Fantasy game, exclusive to Android and iOS devices. It combines all events from the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII media franchise in one neat package. It's part remaster, part expansion, but all classic Final Fantasy, albeit with some brutal monetization techniques mobile gamers should be more than familiar with.

Square Enix masterfully knows how to tease it best Final Fantasy stories

Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis was revealed during the 2021 State of Play livestream. Now that the game has entered closed beta, we can finally see what Square Enix has been cooking. As a fan that's been playing Final Fantasy for over a decade and a half, starting with Final Fantasy IX (working forward and backward), I've sunk my teeth in every spinoff and sequel to every mainline title since. This also includes Crisis Core on the PSP, Dirge of Cerberus on the PlayStation 2, and reading through fan-translated transcripts of Before Crisis, a Japanese-only mobile game.

There really is a Final Fantasy battle royale coming, and I played it for 20 minutes

It's PUBG with a Final Fantasy skin, and I recorded my first drop

At the beginning of the year, Square Enix announced two mobile games themed around Final Fantasy VII, more than likely a reaction to the Remake's success on PS4. Of course, since Square is often reactionary to its successes, these two mobile offshoots didn't have any release dates. Of the two games, Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier has recently entered into a closed beta test, and since I got in, I've recorded a 20-minute gameplay video of my first jump in what is clearly a PUBG clone. So if you're eager to see Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier's battle royale gameplay in action, I indeed show off what the closed beta currently has to offer.

Final Fantasy VII. For Android. Do I need to say anything else? Probably, because this post needs some words, so let's get to it! FFVII was released for iOS last summer. The Android version, like the iOS version, will cost you a dear $15.99 to pick up, as well as your trust that Square Enix has done this properly for a touchscreen experience. The app is not listed as compatible with Android TV devices, sadly.
