This isn’t the first time Final Fantasy VII has ventured into mobile gaming. In fact, earlier this year, Square Enix discontinued Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier, a mobile battle royale game that was initially unveiled alongside Ever Crisis two years ago. With this in mind, fans are hoping for a more successful and enduring experience with Ever Crisis, which will undoubtedly serve as an exciting appetizer until the highly anticipated Final Fantasy VII Rebirth launches next year.
