Square Enix hosted a panel for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth at New York Comic-Con 2023 hosted by Critical Role’s Matt Mercer, in which the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth voice cast discussed their experiences voicing the game’s iconic characters. During the panel, Matt Mercer confirmed he will voice Vincent Valentine, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi appeared for a surprise question-and-answer session at the end.
Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis PC release confirmed, will share data between Steam and mobile

Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis - a sort of mobile gaming RPG sandwich of the original Final Fantasy VII and its spin-offs Crisis Core and The First Soldier, plus gacha mechanics - is coming to PC and Steam, publisher Square Enix have announced. The Steam release will share data with the mobile version.
Ever Crisis on mobile is a free-to-play game with microtransactions and curvy, colourful chibi-style visuals. It's Final Fantasy: Polly Pocket Edition, sort of. Play breaks down into missions with turn-based battles and brief narrative sequences. The idea is that you can pack in a few minutes of Cloud gaming (no, not that kind) while waiting for your tube. But how will that formula square up on PC, and what to make of the game's reportedly very aggressive microtransaction pop-ups? Fingers crossed they'll rebadge it as a standard pay-upfront release and tear out all the gacha.
Here's a trailer for the mobile version. OOH SHORT-HAIRED SEPHIROTH.
Some would cast their eyes over all that and decry it as tarnishing the frock of the grand old dame of (J)RPGing. These people should probably make a beeline for Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth instead, except that you can't, because it doesn't have a PC release date yet. Katharine is in full hype mode regardless.
Alternatively, you could play the PC revamp of Crisis Core, which Katharine (her again?!) described as "polished story filler that's a missed opportunity after FF7 Remake". It stars gaming's original fallguy Zack Fair, and has a real-timey combat system with splashes of Active Time Battle from the main series.
I remember playing that on the original PSP, and writing a truly foul piece of proto-new games journalism about it, with all the Final Fantasy VII characters attending a Final Fantasy launch party. I'm pretty sure that's no longer online anywhere. Oh god, please don't Google it.
Thanks to the handsome devils at Eurogamer for spotting this.

Final Fantasy VII Every Crisis Finally Increases Max Character Levels
Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis has enjoyed a successful launch for a full month now. This is thanks to its great art style and fun, bite-sized adventures with all the characters we’ve grown to love over the years, along with a few new interesting faces. We’ve already seen quite a few banners, an ever-present beach event, and a meaty progression of the story in such a short period of time. It seems like all that’s left is more progression for the characters themselves.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Confirmed For MCM Comic Con London
Final Fantasy has been such a massive franchise that spanned across decades and across multiple console generations. There’s been some truly standout installments from this long-running series as well. One of the more beloved games of the series was Final Fantasy VII, a title that blew up in multiple markets when it initially launched in 1997 for the Sony PlayStation. Since then, fans worldwide have pleaded for Square Enix to return and bring out a remake for this JRPG installment. Fortunately, in 2020, we finally got the first part of this remake. Since this game installment was so massive, the developers could only deliver the game in parts. We’re going to receive Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second installment to this trilogy remake, in 2024.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Gets New Details and Will Be At NYCC!
It’s interesting how much information is coming out about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in recent weeks, given that the title won’t launch until early next year. It’s possible that Square Enix doesn’t want you to forget about the game and thus build up the hype for many months until it’s at a “fever pitch.” Or they just think that right now is the best time to do the reveals! Either way works in the minds of gamers. The good news is that today was one of those “reveal days” because plenty of information was dropped about the title.
