Over a year after it was initially revealed at the first-ever Square Enix Presents showcase, the Japanese publisher has dropped more details about the upcoming mobile game. As revealed at the FF7 25th anniversary broadcast, Square Enix will hold a closed beta test for Ever Crisis later this year. In addition, some new footage gives us a glimpse of what the game’s combat system will look like and how microtransactions will work. As you can see in the video, players can dress up the characters in distinctive outfits. Square Enix confirms it will monetize certain aspects of Ever Crisis’ gameplay such as weaponry and, quite possibly, cosmetics. However, the meat of the game, which is the story chapters, will all be available for free. In other FF7 news, the recently-concluded event gave audiences a lot to look forward to in the coming years. For one, FF7 Remake Intergrade is now available on Steam after coming out on the Epic Games Store earlier this year. Also, Square Enix has confirmed that a visual and performance upgrade to 2007’s Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7, Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII - Reunion, is headed to all platforms in December. Finally, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is coming out the winter after and will serve as the second act in the three-part Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy.
