With the Final Fantasy series experiencing a renaissance, particularly with the ongoing remake of its iconic seventh installment, it's no surprise that Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis is gearing up for a spectacular 1.5-year anniversary celebration. Set to kick off on March 6th, the event promises a plethora of new gear, challenges, and skills, though for now, we've only caught a glimpse of what's in store.
The latest trailer offers a sneak peek into the exciting additions awaiting loyal fans. Highlights include a free set of gear as a campaign gift, a five-star weapon exclusive to Cloud—the Umbral Blade—and the introduction of the new event, Odin: Vanquisher of Souls, starting on March 6th.
In celebration of the 1.5 anniversary, new, stylish gear will be available for your favorite characters. The first to be showcased is Sephiroth, who makes a striking appearance in the trailer sporting the new Cape of the Worthy. This is part of the Vestments of the Worthy series, which will be revealed over the course of four weeks leading up to the anniversary event.
Beyond Midgard: To tackle the anniversary challenges, players will have access to a new battle ability called Overspeed, which will be crucial for the upcoming Odin-themed escalation challenge. Final Fantasy's presence on mobile platforms continues to grow, reflecting its enduring popularity.
It's intriguing, albeit somewhat ironic, that even after numerous new entries in the series, Square Enix consistently returns to the seventh installment. Given its status as a fan favorite, however, it's a move that's easy to understand and appreciate.
