Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will feature an ambiguous ending that will keep players wondering about the third and final part of the trilogy, according to the game's producer.
Final Fantasy Death Box Causes Outrage Among Apex Legends Fans Due To Its Outrageous Price
09.01.2024 - 21:13 / mmorpg.com
The crossover between highly acclaimed FPS Apex Legends and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is off to a rocky start, as monetization on one specific Death Box has gone too far for some fans.
This crossover event was supposed to be one of the greats, as Final Fantasy and Apex Legends fans finally had the best of both worlds in one place. Rather than exhilaration and elation, fans of both games were filled with rage as they learned that the newest Death Box would cost them $360 to call their own.
A Death Box is dropped after a Legend dies in-game, and it is teeming with loot for those who scored the kill to enjoy. Several different Death Boxes are available for players to customize to fit their aesthetic and preference, but this One-Winged Angel-themed box has a hefty price to pay to unlock.
In order to obtain the crossover-themed Death Box, players must have all 36 of the cosmetic items available from the event, which are only obtainable through Event Packs. Since each event pack costs 1,000 coins in-game to purchase from the shop, that equates to around $10 in hard-earned cash to get one event pack.
If there are 36 items to collect and no chance of receiving a duplicate, which luckily dupes are not possible in Apex Legends event packs, that would cost $360 to purchase 36 packs to finally obtain the coveted Death Box skin.
Angered fans have, of course, taken to social media to voice their complaints with the box, as one person stated ,
“Ain’t no one paying 360 dollars for a death box skin man. Can’t believe you’re normalising gacha too.”
Under the thread showcasing this post, several others have expressed their outrage and concern, stating this could be the most expensive item to ever come to Apex Legends in the history of the game.
While “gacha” monetization practices have become more popular over the years, that does not mean that players enjoy the need to spend countless dollars for a once-in-a-lifetime cosmetic, and Respawn will most likely be receiving plenty of flack for this choice.

Final Fantasy 6 Remake Series Would Take Twice as Long to Develop as Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy – Kitase
The second instalment of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is set to launch soon, but there are, of course, plenty of other fan-favourite instalments in the long-running series that many have been hoping to see remade in similar fashion. Final Fantasy 6 in particular has been heavily demanded by series fans- though according to Yoshinori Kitase – producer on the FF7 Remake trilogy and co-director of the original Final Fantasy 6 – developing a remake series for the SNES classic would be an even more herculean task than developing the FF7 Remake trilogy.

New Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Info Highlights Yuffie and Cait Sith
Many people are looking forward to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and that’s not a shock at all. When Square Enix released the first entry of the “remake saga” back in 2020, gamers were stunned by how well the publisher had remade the original title despite focusing only on the Midgar storyline for the “first part.” The graphics were stunning, the voice acting was on point, and the updated combat system made it feel like an RPG while also being “upgraded” to fit modern times. However, a few flaws held it back, mainly in the party system.

Amazon Reveals Special Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Controller Skin Via Pre-Order Bonus!
For the record, we didn’t plan two stories about items you can get for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to come in back-to-back days. Life decided to have a little fun with us, and we don’t mind. Yesterday, we discussed how Square Enix Reward Program members could get a special glitter globe featuring the Gold Saucer from the upcoming RPG.

But, if you’re looking for something a bit more “substantial,” then perhaps Amazon is where you go to get the game.
