FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS

I was hoping for at least the entire storyline of the original favorite, but none of the three are completed. In fact, all three are barely started into the secrets of the three storyline. Slightly disappointed in the way materia and summoning is also handled; haphazardly redone from the original to only go up in level with materials that must be either hunted down or purchased with nothing about experience of use. Of course this could have been incredibly complicated if it was done the old way since there are also tons of various weapons each character can use and they changed that as well, having the weapons playing as two “main” weapons, one ahead of the other, as well as two “sub” weapons that could be anyone’s. There are also outfits to be won or purchased. All of this is confusing and takes away from the stories. On top of all of that, the stories have been broken up into parts. There is very little in the way of exploration. I don’t expect to be able to go into Cloud’s world and travel all over the place as I did the first time at all. While all of this is highly disappointing, for what it is, it is also understandable given what they were trying to do. And I will still play it. At least until they finish it.

This New Twist on an Old Classic, brings a breath of fresh air to the Final Fantasy Mobile Games Lineup. From the familiar stories and cast to the new ways to play. This game will have you building a team of your favorite FFVII to play through story content or farm raids, events and dungeons. Much like other Hero Collection games from Square. You can summon (Draw) new versions and skins of the memorable cast to level and upgrade, and take into battle. You can pick from the systems Auto Assigned party or Tailor your party to what you like and best fits the situation. Updated traffics and cut scenes from the FFVII remake blend well to give you a look into the story of the world as well as new stories and some not so known. But most of all we can now have a party with Zack Aerith and Cloud! As a Free to Play gamer there is plenty of opportunity to earn Blue Gems Shards that are used to summon (Draw) heros and weapon upgrades through completeing content, daily quests and missions and joining randome raid parties. So jump in and see what The World of Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis has to offer.

I am a regular gacha player, and have put hours into several Square Enix based Gachas. Ever Crisis is fun, but there are a few glaring issues. At my current place in story mode, it’s detrimental to manually play. The AI is so advanced, and plays perfectly, that you’re punished for not using auto play. For example, I came across a quest that was recommended 3,300 power, and I was at 5,000. I couldn’t beat it. I put it on auto mode, and it cleared the quest easily. The interface is a pain. You can’t collect quest rewards from the mission tab. You “collect them” and they’re sent to your mailbox, where you actually collect them. It’s similar to FFBE WoTV, and I always felt it was an unnecessary step. My final complaint comes from the monetization. So far, I haven’t felt the need to spend money. The issue is how often you’re bothered with buying something. There is a gold highlight tab on certain menus, to let you know if there is a quest complete, or you have new items. To get the gold highlight to go away, you click on it, and it’s gone. On the MTX menus, you can’t make the gold highlight go away. It stays there flashing, trying to entice you to spend. That’s the only reason I can think of, that the gold highlight doesn’t go away. Square, you’re better than that juvenile predatory stuff. I’m willing to give this game a few weeks/updates, but it’s not really exciting me. I know others are loving it, but I’m not hooked.
