Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis is an upcoming mobile gacha RPG that brings the world of Final Fantasy VII to an all-new platform.

What makes this new entry into the series so exciting for many fans around the world is it's going to have every single story that takes place in the Final Fantasy VII universe all in one location.

With some twists, of course. Ever Crisis not only has the charm of the original Final Fantasy VII graphics, but it also brings new and updated models and visuals as well.

In combat, players will be seen as very intricate and detailed models in a similar vein to Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

But in the overworld and during story moments, the characters will take on a more updated look of the original character models from Final Fantasy 7.

This is a lot like the original game, but just one of the many ways the game is updating this tried and true classic.

There are also many other changes and interesting tweaks that we want to cover as well. Check them out below.

The question that is on everyone's mind is, "How is Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis connected to the original Final Fantasy VII?". We have a rather convoluted answer, so strap in.

Ever Crisis is Final Fantasy VII. But it's also different. What Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is doing is taking all of the stories that have taken place within the Final Fantasy VII story and putting them all in one game, Ever Crisis.

For those who don't know, Final Fantasy VII has a lot of stories outside of the main game. There the four games: Before Crisis, Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus, and First Soldier.

The movie Advent Children and the main game Final Fantasy VII. There are even a few novelizations that are being woven into the narrative.

All of these pieces of media exist on different platforms, and some of them are even different genres.

So, the team behind Ever Crisis has decided to put them all in one place and connect them more naturally, on top of allowing fans and new fans alike to experience the story all in one place.

The Final Fantasy VII story is rather simple; you play as an ex-SOLDIER named Cloud who is a mercenary hired by an eco-terrorist group that wants to take down the mega-corporation SHINRA who is sucking the Planet dry of all of its natural resources called mako.

Mako is a resource that is used for many different things, and one of those is turning SOLDIER members into stronger and better fighters.

Cloud, the main character, has a very important connection to the Mako and the Planet.

This leads him and his companions on a long trip to try and stop SHINRA and also their most powerful SOLDIER, Sephiroth.

This is probably the question on most players' minds when it comes to Ever Crisis. How does the title connect with the newly released Remake?

Final Fantasy 7 Remake takes the original story of Final Fantasy VII and twists it a bit; no spoilers here! But people who are in the know definitely are aware of what I am talking about here.

The best guess we have is that Ever Crisis and Remake are going to both exist at the same time and also be canon, somehow.
