Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis, Square Enix's FF7 universe mobile gacha game, doesn't seem to have really made a ton of money since not long after its strong launch. I monitor monthly sales, and the revenue just isn't that great. But my suspicion is that SE will keep it going until the third and final installment of the trilogy launches, as a way to keep the flag flying and engage the die hard spending fans.
For the most part, the roads are clear. Bonus outfits for Tifa and Aerith. Clouds too. Playing as Young Sephiroth! Sometimes poor Barret actually gets new gear too. Heck, honestly, Glenn and Sephiroth's First Soldier story? Not bad. There are reasons to play Ever Crisis. One thing I hadn't anticipated? What Power be a sneak peek at one of the iconic weapons – planetary defense kaiju, basically – that's sure to shake things up in the finale.
Maybe I'd like it better in PS5 graphics…
Yeah, uh… I don't know. It's kind of… dirty? At least it helps to see it in action where the scale is a bit more tangible. So I'll link the Ever Crisis “2.5 Year Anniversary Event” YouTube trailer in a second. I'll time stamp it too, if you're like me and start snoring when you see gacha games advertising incremental material upgrades and time-limited bonus spins.
As you can see, this specific sub-event is titled “Weapon Showdown: Battle for the Planet.” And it has the Ultimate Weapon at its center. Redo Ultimate Weapons Ever Crisis necessitate that Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 will use it, rather than doing its own thing? Nah. But I have to imagine that the people behind Ever Crisis have at least semi-regular meetings with, if not Naoki Hamaguchi himself, then certainly some top staff on the Remake project.
If this does in fact turn out to be accurate for Part 3, it's kind of wild that not only has Ever Crisis “spoiled” it, so to speak; it is also done with minimal fanfare. I just hope the Ultimate Weapon's wings are bigger when we run into it in Mideel and in the skies above. The original design (see my feature image for this particular article) kicked ass.

All is not well with Mira.
