The Japanese outlet Famitsu recently reported that they played the PC version of Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis before its official release. They have announced new details that potential players should be aware of.
In particular, fans can anticipate support for 4K resolution, 30, 60, and 120 FPS options, and, at least according to the article, well-integrated keyboard controls that rival the touch controls on mobile.
Shortcuts during battle are the 1 to 5 number keys for materia abilities, and Q, W, and E are for limit breaks. F1 to F5 is reserved for switching characters and selecting targets for recovery abilities. Key remapping is also available.
“If you set the game to windowed mode, the game will continue running even if you are working on something else on your PC. Furthermore, save data can be linked with the smartphone version, though we were not able to try it out this time.”
The Steam version has a total of 16 achievements. Some of them require a certain amount of training, such as clearing the 50th floor of Midgard Falls, but most of them can be obtained simply by advancing through the story.
Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is an ambitious mobile entry that coalesces the compilation of Final Fantasy VII, including the original game, Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus, Before Crisis, and even Advent Children in playable forms. The gacha comprises new outfits for the cast, adding levity and spiciness to familiar events fans are abundantly knowledgeable about.
The original Final Fantasy VII’s portrayal will feature new lines and adapt light novel material written by Nojima, such as when Tifa meets AVALANCHE in Traces of Two Pasts. Currently, the entirety of the story in Midgar is playable. Story updates are planned once a month, with seemingly one chapter each time.
Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is available on mobile devices via iOS and Android.
A Christmas-themed event was recently launched.
The game has achieved seven million downloads worldwide.
Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis will launch for PC via Steam on December 7, 2023.
