Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, mobile compilation with the aim of bringing all Final Fantasy VII stories of the universe extended together in one place, will have reward boxes, creative director Tetsuya Nomura confirmed yesterday in a new interview with Famitsu.
Although the smartphone game is free, there will be a monetization mechanic built around the collection of special items and cosmetics. “The monetized element is basically loot boxes containing random weapons,” Nomura told Famitsu, based on a translation provided by Square Enix PR. “Some of the special weapons also come as a set that includes new outfits that weren’t in the original games, adding a new way to enjoy the story that you’ve never seen before.”
Microtransactions in their mobile games are nothing new for Square Enix. Previous games, like Mobius Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy Brave Exvius I had them too. Some of the company’s first forays into free mobile games were disastrous. To remember Final Fantasy: All Bravest? Occasionally, it also goes the other way, in a free game like Final Fantasy Legends: Crystal of Space-Time, taking it out of its microtransaction economy and relaunching it with a premium price how Final Fantasy Dimensions II.
In short: it remains to be seen how costly Ever Crisis’ microtransactions actually end up being. The game consists of chapters. Nomura says Final Fantasy VIIThe story of will consist of ten, for example, with Midgar’s escape starting in chapter three. All of them will be free and added over time. Is there a world where I end up preferring to pay $ 2 for each new chapter instead of $ 2 for a chance to unlock a redesigned Buster Sword for Cloud? Possibly. Cash box mechanics have a tendency to feel disgusting and to explainoctive regardless of how generously they are implemented.

I was very excited when Square Enix announced Ever Crisiis because, although on the one hand the company was double (triple, quadruple?) plunging into reconstruction Final Fantasy VII, it will also be the first time that most people will have access to play some version of the game’s extensive spin-off cannon. But the games will like it Crisis Center and Dirge of Cerberus have you had your own suitable re-releases?
“We also saw that people want to be able to play the various titles from different series on the hardware of the current console, so the design concept behind Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis it is not intended to be a substitute for that, but a convenient and casual way of approaching these games, ”said Nomura in yesterday’s interview.
