Sigh. Guess it's time to open up my wallet and pray to the RNG gods because mobile gacha game Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis is making its way over to Steam.
As spotted by Eurogamer, Square Enix announced the game was being ported over during a Japanese livestream. While there's no release date to peep just yet, we do know that accounts will be shared across both mobile and PC similar to other gachas that span multiple platforms. It'll also be free-to-play, but as anyone who's sunk time into gacha games before knows, there'll be microtransactions galore forever tempting you to shed that F2P status.
Ever Crisis is a retelling of Final Fantasy 7's overarching story, offering the narrative from the original game, the movie Advent Children, and spin-off games Before Crisis, Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus. It pulls some elements from the remakes too, offering a pretty comprehensive overview of the Final Fantasy 7 universe.
As far as I can tell, opinion is relatively split on just how free-to-play friendly the game is. The story seems doable enough with some patience and grinding, but nabbing all of those characters and maxing out their levels will require a few bucks here and there. It's quite reroll-friendly though, meaning there's relatively little time and effort required to make a new account and try for some different starter characters if you're unhappy with your first pulls.
As a self-admitted gacha enjoyer (I know, I know) it's always appreciated when developers bring their clients to PC. It's nice to have the portability of a phone, but I can only hold so many apps on this thing at once. Plus I'm not sure how many more hours-long gacha grinding sessions my poor battery can take, though it does make for a nice hand warmer in the winter months.

Square Enix has been slowly pulling back the curtain on what fans can expect from the upcoming sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake. The original game was a masterpiece in nearly every way, and was praised for respecting the original game while expanding on all that could be done in the Midgar section of the title. With the upcoming sequel, gamers will finally see much of the rest of the planet and get new characters to help them flesh out their party and, by extension, the story. But a new rumor states that there’s already been work done on the game’s final entry.
Official Square Enix figures of Aerith, Tifa, and Yuffie are discounted to less than $90.
Big franchises can have bizarre merchandise, and the Final Fantasy series is no exception, with FFXIV-themed nail clippers being reissued in Japan. This means that you, too, can have the same personal hygiene standards as the Warrior of Light, who always goes into battle with the nicest manicure in Eorzea.
Square Enix has clarified the correct pronunciation of Final Fantasy 7 character Cait Sith.
We’re months away from Final Fantasy XIV’s next major expansion, Dawntrail. Still, players are trying to learn any amount of details they can about the upcoming, competitive treasure hunt where they’ll be facing off with former allies who have been by their side for years. Customary to every Final Fantasy XIV expansion, there are new Jobs for players who grab it, and some players believe they’ve figured out one of the two new ones coming to the game.
After 10 years, one Final Fantasy 14 player has finally earned all 2751 achievements.
In an accomplishment that truly makes my head and mouse-clicking finger hurt thinking about the sheer time and effort required, someone has become the first Final Fantasy 14 player to complete every single one of the MMO’s more than 2,700 achievements.
Someone has finally completed every single Final Fantasy14 achievement, 10 years after the game launched.
A Final Fantasy 14 player has become the first to unlock all 2,751 Achievements, more than a decade after the game launched.
Final Fantasy 14 has accumulated an awful lot of achievements in its decade of life: 2,751 of them to be exact. Some of them are simple enough—just play through the story, level up some classes, do an event or two—while others require hundreds of hours or even years to earn. Earning all of them would take some serious time and dedication, which would explain why nobody has ever managed to reach 100% achievement completion. Until now, that is.
It’s taken just over 10 years, but a truly committed Final Fantasy 14 Lalafell has unlocked every achievement the MMO has to offer – that is, until Square Enix adds more.
